Elliott Smith — Between The Bars (ver 2) Chords
This is a really great song, and it's not too hard either. Madeleine Peyroux does a
better than Smith's, but they are both awesome.
I can't seem to locate a non—software based accurate tab of this song, so I'm doing it myself.
It starts with an Am7. You can play it open on the neck or barred if you like. I prefer
bar it, just because I'm not too used to the open neck fingering. Hold it for as many
as you want, then go into the lyrics:
Am7 F
Drink up, baby, stay up all night.
C
With the things you could do,
E7
You won't but you might.
Am7
The potential you'll be,
F
That you'll never see,
C E7 F
The promises you'll only make.
Am7
Drink up with me now,
F
And forget all about
C
The pressure of days.
E7
Do what I say,
Am7
And I'll make you okay,
F
And drive them away
C E7 F
The images stuck in your head
F G *
People you've been before
F G Am Am/F#
That you don't want around anymore
