Elliott Smith anyone?

Do any of you guys listen to and/or play Elliott Smith's stuff? If so does anyone know a good site with tab, as the Sweet Addy site is not very good? Thanks

Elliot Smith is too damn depressing.

I like Elliot's shit, but can't play it, and really have to be in the mood to listen to it.

He's pretty good.. I have XO. I love the song "Everybody Cares, Everybody Understands."

Elliot Smith is awsome.. I love Southern Belle.. I don't know many songs by him, but thats because there aren't many tabs out there.

He makes you want to commit suicide, for Gods sake.

I think sweetadeline.net is pretty good. They have bad versions but a lot of good ones too. I tabbed 3 (they're in the "other tabs" section)

yea, his stuff is definitely somber. very sad what happened to him. angeles is my favorite song, followed by memory lane and son of sam.

Catherine, I use those three tabs all the time.. Those songs are tabbed out very well. They are probably the only elliot smith songs i play. Have you considered tabbing anymore more?

someone's always coming around here
trailing some new kill
says i seen your picture on a
hundred dollar bill

and what's a game of chance to you,
to him is one of real skill

so glad to meet you angeles

picking up the ticket shows
there's money to be made
go on and lose the gamble
that's the history of the trade

that you add up all the cards left to play
to zero

and sign up with evil angeles

don't start me trying now

cos i'm all over it
angeles

i could make you satisfied
in everything you do
all your secret wishes could
right now be coming true

and be forever
with my poison arms around you

no one's gonna fool around with us
no one's gonna fool around with us
so glad to meet you
angeles

I've never spoken with you, but I have to just take a second and say thank you Catherine. Your tabs are the best...some of the first songs I ever learned were from your tabs. I dont even look at tabs now unless theyre from this site or yours...thanks again for all your work.
