ELLIOTT SMITH   Oh Well, Okay

Tabbed by Dabarro (dbasiuk@yahoo.es)


Well, okay, since there isn't a decent tab/chords transcription of this song I decided to
do this one. It is strongly based on the guitar pro file from the site, but this one is in
standard tunning. There are a few bizarre chords in this tab, partly because Elliott played
this with his guitar tuned one step down (keep in mind that I transpose everything so you
can play along the record without detunning). Most of the strange chords are normal chords
with a bass note below. The solo is pretty simple, great for slide beginners.
Have fun playing this, i certainly do.

 Gm     3x033x    or   3x0333  (Using your pinky to barre the 333)
 Gm/E   3x233x         3x2333
 Gm/Eb  3x133x         3x1333

(I hope that makes some sense...)
