Song: Waltz #2 (XO) Artist: Elliott Smith Album: XO To play this song exactly like on the album recording, you need to tune your guitar a full step down. Of course there are two or three guitars used, but I?m just gonna write down the main chords and little bits so you can play the song pretty much on one guitar. 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 |------------|------------|------------|------------| |------------|------------|------------|------------| |------------|------------|------------|------------| |------------|------------|------------|------------| |------------|------------|------------|------------| |------------|------------|------------|------------| INTRO 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 |------------|------------|------------|------0-0-0-| |------------|------------|------------|------1-1-1-| |------------|------------|------------|------2-2-2-| |------------|------------|------------|------2-2-2-| |------------|------------|------------|------0-0-0-| |------------|------------|------------|------------| Drum intro (I?m not gonna go into all the details of strumming etc) 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 |0-----------|0-----------|0-----------|0-----------| |1-----------|1-----------|1-----------|1-----------| |2-----------|2-----------|2-----------|2-----------| |2-----------|2-----------|2-----------|2-----------| |0-----------|0-----------|0-----------|0-----------| |------------|------------|------------|------------| 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 |------------|0-----------|1-----------|0-----------| |---------0-1|1-----------|1-----------|1-----------| |2-----------|0-----------|2-----------|0-----------| |2-----------|2-----------|3-----------|2-----------| |0-----------|x-----------|3-----------|3-----------| |------------|3-----------|1-----------|0-----------| 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 |1-----------|0-----------|1-----------|0-----------| |3-----------|1-----------|0-----------|1-----------| |2--------0-2|0-----------|0-----------|0-----------| |3-----------|2-----------|0-----2-0---|2-----------| |x-----------|3-----------|x-----------|3-------2---| |1-----------|0-----------|3-----------|------------| 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 |------------|0-----------|1-----------|0-----------| |---------0-1|1-----------|1-----------|1-----------| |2-----------|0-----------|2-----------|0-----------| |2-----------|2-----------|3-----------|2-----------| |0-----------|x-----------|3-----------|3-----------| |------------|3-----------|1-----------|0-----------| 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 |1-----------|0-----------|1-----------| |3-----------|1-----------|0-----------| |2--------0-2|0-----------|0-----------| |3-----------|2-----------|0-----2-0---| |x-----------|3-----------|x-----------| |1-----------|0-----------|3-----------| 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 |0-----------|------------|------0-0-0-|0-----------| |1-----------|------------|------1-1-1-|1-----------| |0-----------|------------|------0-0-0-|0-----------| |2-----------|------------|------2-2-2-|2-----------| |3-----------|--------2---|3-----3-3-3-|3-----------| |------------|3-----------|------------|------0-3-4-| VERSE First the mic, then a half cigarette 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 |0-----------|0-----------|0-----------|0-----------| |1-----------|1-----------|1-----------|1-----------| |2-----------|2-----------|0-----------|0-----------| |2-----------|2-----------|2-----------|2-----------| |0-----------|0-----------|3-----------|3-----------| |------------|------------|------------|----3---2---| Singing Cathy?s Clown That?s the 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 |1-----------|2-----------|1-----------|1-----------| |1-----------|1-----------|0-----------|0-----------| |2-----------|2-----------|0-----------|0-----------| |3-----------|0-----------|0-----------|0-----------| |3-----------|x-----------|x-----------|x-----------| |1-----------|2-----------|3-----------|3-----------| Man she?s married to now 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 |1-----------|------------|0-----------|------------| |3-----------|------------|1-----------|------------| |2-----------|------------|2-----------|------------| |0-----------|------------|2-----------|------------| |------------|(0)---------|0-----------|------------| |------------|------------|------------|(0)---------| That?s the girl that he takes around town, 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 |0-----------|0-----------|0-----------|0-----------| |0-----------|0-----------|0-----------|0-----------| |2-----------|2-----------|1-----------|1-----------| |0-----------|0-----------|2-----------|2-----------| |2-----------|2-----------|2-----------|2-----------| |------------|------------|0-----------|0-----------| She appears composed, so she is I suppose 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 |0-----------|0-----------|0-----------|0-----------| |1-----------|1-----------|1-----------|1-----------| |2-----------|2-----------|0-----------|0-----------| |2-----------|2-----------|2-----------|2-----------| |0-----------|0-----------|3-----------|x-----------| |------------|------------|------------|3---3---2---| Who can really tell ?
