Version 1 Version 3 Version 4 
            Waltz #2 (XO)
Elliott Smith

Standard Tuning.

I found this easy fingering and 
I saw Elliott play it this way in an interview. Plus, this
is in standard tuning, which is always nice. If you want to
play along with the recorded version, just capo the 3rd fret and this
will work.

Thanks to all who posted this song before me!

That's the man she's married to now

She appears composed so she is i suppose
C        A7    D
Who can really tell
     Am                 Em
She shows no emotion at all

Stares into space like a dead china doll

Now she's done and they're calling someone
C         A7    D
Such a familiar name
        Am                     Em
I'm so glad that my memory's remote
         Am/F#                   B7
Cos i'm doing just fine, hour to hour, note to note
Em                G
Here it is the revenge to the tune
C      A7   D
You're no   good
          Am                              Em
You're no good, you're no good, you're no good

Can't you tell that it's well understood

To just leave me   alone
