Twilight Tabs & Lyrics by Elliott Smith
Twilight
guitar tabs lyrics
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 sounds
perfectly fine, you can play it if you want.
Technically you aren't supposed to, but it
the same.

INTRO
F7/C
F7/C
Haven't laughed this hard in a long time,
Am G F C/G
Better stop now, before I start crying.
F7/C
Go off to sleep in the sunshine
Am G F C/G
Don't want to see the day when it's dying.
D
She's a sight to see
F7/C
She's (a) good to me
Am G F C/G
But I'm already somebody's baby.
D
She's a pretty thing,
F7/C
She knows everything
Am G F C/G
But I'm already somebody's baby.
F7/C
You don't deserve to be lonely,
Am G F C/G
But those drugs you got won't make you feel better.
F7/C
Pretty soon you'll find its the only
Am G F C/G
Little part of your life you're keeping together.
D
I'm nice to you,
F7/C
I could make it through
Am G F C/G
But you're already somebody's baby.
D
I could make you smile,
F7/C
If you stayed a while
Am G F C/G
But how long will you stay with me, baby?
SOLO (see below)
F7/C
Because your candle burns too bright
Am G F C/G
Well I almost forgot it was twilight.
F7/C
Even if I think that you are right
Am G
Well I'm tired of being down,
F C/G
I got no fight.
D
You're wonderful
F7/C
When its beautiful
Am G F
But I'm already somebody's baby.
D
If I went with you,
F
I'd dissapoint you too
Am G F (RIFF 1)
But I'm already somebody's baby.
Am G D
Already somebody's baby.

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 elliott
does in his recording, i don't know why.
