Steven Paul Smith (6 de agosto de 1969 – 21 de octubre de 2003), mejor conocido como Elliott Smith, fue un cantautor estadounidense de folk. Su instrumento primario fue la guitarra acústica, acompañada en otras canciones por bajo, batería y piano entre otros. Su voz era como un susurro, que en muchas canciones tenía un extraño efecto de doble voz. Vivió casi toda su vida en Portland, Oregon (Estados Unidos).
Antes de empezar su carrera en solitario, tocaba en la banda de rock Heatmiser, con la que llegó a sacar varios discos.

my first tab i did this for a tenor in gCEA tuning also sounds good on my low g and c uke maybe better even
DmCBbF I'll fake it through the day Dm* Gm With some help from Johnny Walker Red FAmCBm Send the poison rain down the drain FA (Fill here**) To put bad thoughts in my head
DmCBbF Two tickets torn in half Dm* Gm And a lot of nothin' to do FCBbFG Do you miss me Miss Misery BbF Like you say you do
AbCm A man in the park FAb Read the lines on my hand Cm Told me I'm strong C Hardly ever wrong I said
Man you mean
DmCBbF You had plans for both of us Dm* Gm That involved a trip out of town FAmCBb To a place I've seen in a magazine FA (Fill here**) That you'd left lyin' around
DmCBb I don't have you with me FDm* Gm But I keep a good attitude FCBbFG Do you miss me Miss Misery BbF Like you say you do
DmBb I know you'd rather see me gone FG7Bm Than to see me the way that I am CA7 But I am in your life any way
DmCBbF Next door the TVs flashing Dm* Gm Blue frames on the wall FAmCBb It's a comedy of errors you see FA (Fill here**) It's about taking a fall
DmCBbFDm* To vanish into oblivion Gm It's easy to do FCBb And I tried to be but you know me FGBbFC I come back when you want me to FCBbFG Do you miss me Miss Misery BbF Like you say you do
Chords used string order is 3 1 Dm (2210) C (0003) Bb (3211) F (2010) Gm (0765) Am (2000) A (2100) A7 (0100)G (0232) Ab (1343) Cm (5333) use the Cm here or it wont sound quite right the Ab and Gm dont matter
these Dm are Gm7add9 I think but I dont know that chord on the uke I substituted Dm for my lack of knowledge it stillsounds close enuf for me
the fill I use here is a switch from A to A7 and then finishing on Dm which starts the next verse in all 3 cases
Once again I just dont know what the actual fill is so I improvise something easy that works well enuf
if any one comes up with these let me know - Topher
