Waltz 2 Xo

Elliott Smith

Text File

Song: Waltz #2 (XO)
Artist: Elliott Smith
Album: XO

To play this song exactly like on the album recording, you need to tune your guitar a 
full step down.
Of course there are two or three guitars used, but I�m just gonna write down the main 
chords and little bits so you can play the song pretty much on one guitar.

VERSE GUITAR REPEATS


Now she�s done and they�re calling someone
Such a familiar name
I�m so glad that my memory�s remote
Cos I�m doing just fine hour to hour, note to note
Here it is, the revenge to the tune
"You�re no good,
You�re no good, you�re no good, you�re no good"
Can�t you tell that it�s well understood?

VERSE GUITAR REPEATS

Looking out on the substitute scene
Still going strong
XO, Mom
It�s ok, it�s all right, nothing�s wrong
Tell Mr. Man with impossible plans to just leave me alone
In the place where I make no mistakes
In the place where I have what it takes

CHORUS GUITAR REPEATS

I�m never gonna know you now
But I�m gonna love you anyhow
I�m never gonna know you now
But I�m gonna love you anyhow
I�m never gonna know you now
But I�m gonna love you anyhow
