			     Some Song - Elliott Smith

Tuning: Standard


I transcribed this song with the help of a video on youtube of Elliott playing it, and 
own ears of course. This song is played using power chords on the lower strings.

Note: You will see 2 E's in a row, just before the second E the strings are played open 
an eighth note. Also note that this is a high E up on the 12th fret.

Intro: G#

C#	      G#		   C#
It's a junkie dream makes you so uptight

	       G#		      C#
Yeah it's Halloween tonight and every night

		      G#		  C#
Hear you scratch your skin your sandpaper throat

		  G#		       C#
You're a symphony man with one fucking note

		 G#	       C#
Charlie beat you up week after week

		  G#			  C#
And when you grow up you're going to be a freak

	       G#	  A		F#
Want a violent girl who's not scared of anything

E  F#  G#  	   E	   E
	   Help me kill my time

F#  G#		   E	    E
	Cause I'll never be fine

F#  G#		   E	   E	F#  G#
	   Help me kill my time

You went down to look at old Dallas town
Where you must be sick just to hang around
Seen it on TV how to kill your man
Then like Gacy's scene a canvas in your hand
You better call your mom she's out looking for you
In the jail and the army and the hospital too
But those people there couldn't do anything for you

Help me kill my time
Cause I'll never be fine
Help me kill my time
Help me kill my time
Help me kill my time
Cause I'll never be fine
Help me kill my time

RIP Elliott Smith
