Elliott Smith - "Looking Over My Shoulder"
--------------------------
Tabbed by Hunter MacDermut
--------------------------
As
usual there are a couple of guitars here, one playing
chords and one
establishing the melody. I've just lumped
them together so you can play it
by yourself. So the chords
are approximately the actual chord he's playing
combined
with the melody note.
F� - 1x0101
Intro: D DM7 Gsus4 G Bb F A7/E
D
Verse:
D D/F G
Wiped out in the city slick
B7
Em G7 C
Another sick rock 'n roller acting like a
dick
B7
Needin' cash
Em G7 C
Burnin' through the
trash
G D/F#
That piles up in this place
F�
Am Am/G F
And fills up behind my empty face
Dm Bb
F (A7sus4 A7)
Full of things that I'm not to do
Chorus (repeat intro
progression):
You come over with all of your friends
And all their opinions
I don't want to know
And I'm looking over my shoulder
Bookin' away with
nowhere to go
Verse:
I run down to the corner lot
It's forty-five past
two
I almost forgot to show
Got a date to make with Mr. so 'n so
After
which
I won�t care when you all start to bitch
And moan about bein'
alone
Chorus:
You come over with all of your friends
And all their
opinions I don't want to know
And I'm looking over my shoulder
Bookin' away
with nowhere to go
Bridge:
E Gm
Well can't you
just leave me alone
Bm Bm/A Bm/G# G
Gm
You've already thrown all the sticks and stones you had to
send my way
Well can't you just leave it at that
And spare us both the
bother cause I just bounce back
Anyway
Verse:
I got nothin' that I want
to do
More than make another sonnet fuck you to play
Whenever you make my
life clich�
So to fit in some little box with the all the labeled shit
You
would say to keep confusion away
Chorus:
You come over with all of your
friends
And all their opinions I don't want to know
And I'm looking over my
shoulder
Bookin' away with nowhere to go
You come over with all of your
friends
And all their opinions I don't want to know
And I'm looking over my
shoulder
Bookin' away
