Say Yes Tabs

(ver. 1)
Smith Elliott
This is "Say Yes" by Elliott Smith off of the "Good Will Hunting" 
soundtrack. Check out the chords to "Miss Misery" also if you haven't 
already. I was planning to tab all of the songs on this album from 
Elliott Smith. "Angeles" is going to be pretty tough, so be patient. If 
you listen to the CD you can get the strumming pattern. It's pretty 
easy. I'll put the basis of it here.

    Lyrics

    Verse 1

    I'm in love with the world
    Through the eyes of a girl
    Who's still around the morning after

    Verse 2

    We broke up a month ago
    But I grew up, I didn't know
    You'd be around the morning after

         SOLO

    Verse 3

    It's always been wait and see
    A happy day and then you pay
    You feel like sh*t the morning after
 
    Verse 4

    But now I feel changed around
    And instead of falling down
    I'm standing up the morning after

    Bridge (strummed)
   C    D                 G
    Situations get f**ked up
                 Em              A7        C
    And turned around sooner ar laaaaaatteeeeeeeeer

    Verse 5

    I could be another fool
    Or an exception to the rule
    You tell me the morning after

    Middle 8 (strummed)
   G(2)       D                  Em(2)
    Crickets spin can't come to rest
        F7             Em(2)
    I'm damaged bad at best
              D             C
    She'll decide what she wants
   G(2)           D               Em(2)
    I'll probably be the last to know
            F7            Em(2)
    No one says until it shows
         D      Em7   
    See how is iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiisssss
         Em7  Dm7 Dm7  C   C
    They want you or they don't
   D(2)
    Say Yes

    Repeat Verse 1


      SOLO:
   |------------7---7-------|------------------|-------------------|
   |------------------------|------------------|-5h7-8-------------|
   |------------------------|------7-7-7-------|-------------------|
   |------5-7-9---9---9-7---|-9-10-------9-7-5-|-------9-7-5h7-5---|
   |----------------------7-|------------------|-----------------7-|
   |-3-3--------------------|------------------|-------------------|


     Chords used:
     C:335553                 G(2):355433 
     D:557775                 Em(2):779987
     G:7(10)9787              F7:88(10)8(10)8
     Em:XX0453                Dm7:XX7565
     A7:575655                D(2):(10)(12)(12)(11)(10)(10)

    In that part where it goes "sooner or laaaaaaaterrrrr" there's a 
little fill that goes like this.

   |-5--5-----5-----5-----|-3--3-----3------8--7--5--|
   |-5----5-----5-----5---|-5----5-----5-------------|  then just go
   |-6------6-----6-----6-|-5------5-----5-----------|  back to the
   |-5--------------------|-5------------------------|   verse
   |-7--------------------|-3------------------------|   pattern
   |-5--------------------|-3------------------------|


    the second guitar part in the verse is like this

   --|-7v-7---7v-7-|-7v-7---10v-10-|-8v-8---7v-7-|-5v-5---5v-5-|
   --|-------------|---------------|-------------|-------------|
   --|-------------|---------------|-------------|-------------|
   --|-------------|---------------|-------------|-------------|
   --|-------------|---------------|-------------|-------------|
   --|-------------|---------------|-------------|-------------|


    Where it goes "She'll decide what she wants", it goes
  |--3--8-7-5-3-|
  |--5--------3-|
  |--5--------4-|
  |--5--------5-|
  |--3--------5-|
  |--3--------3-|

    And where it goes " iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiisssssss" the second 
guitar plays this

   |-7h8p7h8p7h8p7h8p7h8p7h8p7h8p7h8-|
   |---------------------------------|
   |---------------------------------|
   |---------------------------------|
   |---------------------------------|
   |---------------------------------|

          With all these parts it may look complicated, but if you have 
two guitarists it is incredibally easy. Stay posted for "Between The 
Bars", "No Name #3", and hopefully "Angeles".
