Miss Misery
For you aspiring / actual guitar players out there, this is a rough (and I
mean _rough_, my acoustic sounds out of tune whenever I go down to D) set
of chords for "Miss Misery". I make no claims to the total accuracy of
chords & lyrics. Hopefully this will provide a real guitarist with a
start toward figuring out the song for real.
Miss Misery
tune down to D G C F A D
*chords denote forms, not actual sounds, i.e. Em in this tuning makes a Dm
chord.
[Em] I'll [D]fake it [C]through the [G]day with some [Em]help [Em/B]from
Johnny Walker [Am]Red, send the [G]poison [D]rain [C]down the [G]drain to
[Em]put bad thoughts in my [B]head. [Em]Two [D]tickets [C]torn in [G]half
and a [Em]lot of [Em/B]nothing to [Am]do. Do you [G]miss [D]me, [C]miss
[G]miser[Am]y like you [C]say you [G]do?
[Em]A man in the [C]park read the [G]lines in my [Am]hand, told me I'm
[C]strong, hardly ever [D]wrong, I said man you mean...
[Em]You have [D]plans for [C]both of [G]us that in[Em]volve a [Em/B]trip
out of [Am]town to a [G]place I've [D]seen in a [C]maga[G]zine that
[Em]you left lying a[B]round. [Em]I don't [D]have you [C]with me [G]but I
[Em]keep [Em/B]a good atti[Am]tude. Do you [G]miss [D]me, [C]miss
[G]miser[Am]y like you [C]say you [G]do?
[Em]I know you'd rather see me [C]gone than to [G]see me the [Am]way that
I [C]am when I am in your [D]life anyway.
[Em]Next [D]door the [C]TV [G]flashes [Em]blue [Em/B]frames on the
[Am]wall. It's a [G]come[D]dy of [C]errors you [G]see, it's [Em]about
taking a [B]fall. [Em]To [D]vanish [C]to ob[G]livi[Em]on is [Em/B]easy
to [Am]do, and I [G]try to [D]be, but you [C]know me [G]I'll come [Am]back
when you [C]want me [G]to. [D7] Do you [G]miss [D]me, [C]miss
[G]miser[Am]y like you [C]say you [G]do?

Between the Bars
Important : E Smith seems to be tuned 1 key under normal (D G C F A D) so
the chords name indicates only the position : in fact, for the bass player, an Am is a Gm but its
easier to play for guitarists !
Am F C Em7
Am F C Em7 F
F G Am C
Fm Em(?) Am C
F G Am C F Fm

SAY YES
G (bass g) Dsus4/f#(bass f#) Em(bass e) G(bass d) C9(bass c) Em(bass b)
all these chords must be played with a g and a d on the E thin and B string
then : A x2
C D Em G A A C C
end : G(tune d d# e f e d) C
G(same tune) Am(tune b c b c b c ...)
G F F Em
Cm
then the same as the beginning ad lib...
FYI --
to play "say yes" , your guitar must be tuned one key down :
i mean D G C F A D.
then G is 320033
Dsus4/F# is 200033
Em is 022033
C9 is 032033
A is 003330
the tune in the end must be played on the C string :
the real notes are c
c#
d d# d c

Needle In The Hay
"my friend holly and i are starting up a webpage for hard-to-find
indie tabs... i just did a semi-decent tab of the chord progressions of
"needle in the hay".. i'm sure the layout is all screwed up when i paste it
into an email, but if you can decipher it, by all means, it's yours.
and if any of you have submissions of any kind, please email them to me at
yoda90210@aol.com... like i said, we're starting this page from scratch. we
need all the tabs we can get to build a decent foundation for the page.
lv,
susie."

"needle in the hay" by elliott smith off the kill rock stars lp "elliott
smith"
worked by susie (yoda90210@aol.com) my firstest internet tab.
this song is absolutely beautiful.. it feels so cheap to have tabbed it and
ruined in in a sense, but for the rest of you kids that play music on the
streets like me, its hopefully a big help.
the strumming is 4/4 but the chord changes syncopated, so if you have the
record, be sure to play along so you fully get it..there are some subtle chord
changes too, it's not the same progression throughout the song..
intro: F C Em A F C
F C Em A F C
F///C///Em///A/////////
A/////C/////F/////
A///////////////C/////F/////
F C F C Em A
Your hand on his arm... blah blah charm around his neck..etc
A C F A
Needle in the hay... needle in the hay...etc.
F C F C Em A
F C F C Em A
F A F C Em A
He's wearing your clothes, head down to toes a reaction to you..etc
A C F A
Needle in the hay... needle in the hay...etc.
F A F C Em A
F A F C Em A
F A F C Em F
F G Em A F A..
F A F C Em A
Now on the bus... barely touching this dirty retreat...etc.
F G Em A F A...
So leave me alone, you oughtta be proud that im getting good marks.
A C F A
Needle in the hay... needle in the hay.
F A F C Em A
F A F C Em A
F A F C Em F F
C A F C Em Em F
he does a funky thing in the solo part..i tried to tab it, but it's a bit
weird. you'll have to listen along to figure out the differences..

I'm going out sleepwalking
where mute memories start talking
the boss that couldn't help but hurt you
and the pretty thing he made desert you
I'm going out like a baby
a naive unsatisfiable baby
grabbing on to whatever's around
for the soaring high or the crushing down
A
With hidden cracks that don't show
D C
but that constantly just grow
I'm looking for the man that attacked me
while everybody was laughing at me
you beat it in to me that part of you
but I'm gonna split us back in two
A
tired of living in a cloud
D C
if you're gonna say shit now you'll do it out loud
it's 2:45 in the morning
and I'm putting myself on warning
for waking up in an unknown place
with a recollection that's half erased
A
looking for somebody's arms to
D C
wave away past harms
I'm walking out on center circle
the both of you can just fade to black
I'm walking out on center circle
been pushed away and I'll never go back
