			     Speed Trials - Elliott Smith
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Ben Hurst
Email: BHurst8@gmail.com

Tuning: CGCEGC

This is tabbed based on the album and live video performances. All the tabs 
I've seen for this are in standard tuning, but it's most certainly played 
in the Open C tuning that Elliott uses on Ballad of Big Nothing, Independence
Day, See You Later, etc. I'm pretty confident in the accuracy with the
exception of a fill or two.

I didn't write out all the strumming patterns, but the whole song is basically 
strummed in straight 8th's.
