Twilight Chords by Elliott Smith
No tab in here has the solo, so i'll tab that out. Being a tab reader, i hate having to
between tabs, so ill put the rest in here too.
Standard Tuning (I play it tuned a step down because it works better with my voice)
On the D chord, i put the a string in parenthesis. Because its hard to mute out, and it
perfectly fine, you can play it if you want. Technically you aren't supposed to, but it
the same.

And this is 100% how you play it. You can have some liberty with the notes in the solo.
apologize if the chords are off of the words, I have a few syllables I do different than
does in his recording, i don't know why.
