Between The Bars by Elliott Smith 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— F G * That push and shove and won't bend to your will. F Fm I’ll keep them still. Am7 F Drink up, baby, look at the stars. C I'll kiss you again E7 Between the bars, Am7 Where I'm seeing you there, F With your hands in the air, C E7 F Waiting to finally be caught. Am7 Drink up one more time, F And I'll make you mine. C Keep you apart, E7 Deep in my heart, Am7 Separate from the rest, F Where I like you the best, C E7 F And keep the things you forgot. G * The people you've been before F G Am Am/F# That you don't want around anymore— F G * That push and shove and won't bend to your will. F Fm I'll keep them still. Am7 * There's a riff here.. It's pretty simple, and all the notes recieve an even time. Just to the record and you should be able to hear the rhythm. e|--------------------------| B|--------------------------| G|--------------------------| D|-----------------0---2----| A|--0---0---2---3-----------| E|--------------------------| Note: for the Am/F#, I like to just reach across with my middle finger, which is on the fret of the D string using my Am open fingering, and hit the second fret on the low E The point of my finger holds down the string while the fleshy part mutes the A string. I this sounds better and is a lot easier than using some weird fingering to get a proper with all six strings ringing. There you go. I hope this tab has been helpful. It's accurate to the best of my but it's my first tab, so I probably made a few mistakes. If anything isn't clear, or have a or something, don't hestitate to email me. www.TAB6.com
