Artist: Elliott Smith Song: Everybody Cares, Everybody Understands Album: XO (1998) Tabbed by Kevin Tracy Standard Tuning This is one of my favorite Elliott Smith songs, but there were no tabs for it on UG so I figured it out myself. This is my first ever tab submission so go easy on me. ------------------ Chords Used: Of course there's multiple ways to play these chords but these sound the best to me.
