Smith was born in Omaha, Nebraska, raised primarily in Texas, and resided for a significant portion of his life in Portland, Oregon, where he first gained popularity. His primary instrument was the guitar, but he was also proficient at piano, clarinet, bass, drums and harmonica. Smith had a distinctive vocal style characterized by his "whispery, spiderweb-thin delivery" and use of multi-tracking to create vocal harmonies.

by Elliott Smith Album: From A Basement On The Hill Tabbed by Dries Meijer, Holland
When you listen on the album you can clearly hear that Elliott uses Barré chords instead of normal chords witch you see on other tabs. So I can pretty much say that this is the closest you can get. At the bottom of the tab you can see the chords. Have fun with my first tab.
