This tablature is derived from another Elliott Smith tab done by Ryan Ramirez.

Both his tab and my additions were all our own work. I pretty much just took his

tab and then spread it out and fine-tuned it. It's actually a pretty easy song to

learn.

Your hand on his arm, the hay stack charm around your neck

Strung out and thin, calling some friend trying to cash some check

He's wearing your clothes, head down to toes, a reaction to you

You say you know what he did, but you idiot kid, you don't have a clue

He's acting dumb, that's what you've come, to expect

Sometimes they just get caught in the eye, you're pulling him through

6th and Powell a dead sweat in my teeth, Gonna walk, walk, walk
