Elliott Smith - Flowers For Charlie guitar tab
I sorta just learned this song by listening to a bootleg copy of Elliott's show in Columbus, Ohio. It's seems to me to be pretty accurate, but it might not be perfect. I dont' really know all of the lyrics, but the one's that I sorta know are included. I don't know the second verse or other chorus words...sorry..

Notes on how to play it: The entire song stays pretty much in the same rhythm throughout except the chorus.
Play the Intro and verse not in the single chords listed, but in the rhythm of the song... cool??
