• Song:

    Oh Well Okay

  • Artist:

    Elliott Smith

The chords below are written for a guitar with no capo, in standard tuning.

I'm led to believe Elliott tuned down his guitar a whole step, and placed a capo 
on the first fret. In that case, you'd be playing the chords a half-step up: Bb would be B, etc.

I recommend checking the chord diagrams.



Bb          Dm/A           Eb/G                 Bb      Dm/A
Here's the silhouette, the face always turned away
Gm/Bb      Gm/E         Eb                      Bb    Dm/A
The bleeding colour gone to black, dying like a day
G7              Cm                Eb   Ab
Couldn't figure out what made you so un - happy
Ab         Eb          C#    Cm
Shook your head to say no no no
    Eb         Ab
And stopped for a spell
    Eb/G        F7
And stayed that way
   G7     Fm
Oh well, okay


Bb    Dm/A             Eb/G            Bb      Dm/A
I got pictures, I just don't see it anymore
Gm/Bb    Gm/E       Eb                  Bb    Dm/A
Climbing hour upon hour through a total bore
G7             Cm             Eb Ab
With the one I keep, where it never fades
Ab     Eb          C#          Cm
In the safety of a pitch-black mind
   Eb   Ab
An airless cell
    Eb/G        F7
That blocks the day
   G7      Fm
Oh well, okay

F7           Bbm          C#/Ab    F# 
If you get a feeling next time you see me
F#      C#        B      Bbm
Do me a favor and let me know
Bbm       C#/Ab    F# 
'Cos it's hard to tell
     C#/F    Eb7
It's hard to say
   F7     Eb7
Oh well, okay
   F7     Eb7
Oh well, okay
   F7     Eb7
Oh well, okay
