Some Song

This is the last song on Elliot Smith's "Needle in the Hay" 7", recorded

9/94 and distributed by Kill Rock Stars. He always writes his lyrics out,

but I'll put 'em here anyway. Transcribed by me, Jennifer Starfish.

it's all bar chords, and he uses all downstrokes to fill the spaces

between chord changes. I'll refer to high E as "E!"

It's a junky dream, makes you so uptight

yeah, it's halloween tonight and every night

hear you scratch your skin, your sandpaper throat

you're a symphony man with one fckng note

Darley? beat you up week after week

and when you grow up, you're gonna be a freak

want a violent girl who's not scared of anything

B F# G# E!

help me kill my

B F# G# E!

time 'cos I'll never be

B F# G# E!

fine help me kill my

time

you went down to look at old Dallas town

where you must be sick just to hang around

seen it on TV how to kill your man

then like Gacy's scene a canvas in your hand

you better call your mom she's out looking for you

in the jail and the army and the hospital too

but those people there couldn't do anything for you

help me kill my time

cos' I'll never be fine

help me kill my time

help me kill my time

help me kill my time

cos' I'll never be fine

help me kill my time (ends on G#)
