Elliott Smith - Independance Day
Tabbed by Tony G (yeah@hehe.com)
This is probably wrong (although it sounds
really close), I haven't been playing guitar
long so if I made any mistakes or if you
have any modifications please let me know.
Tune one and a half steps down.

Intro Part:
These are the basic finger positions and the order in which to pluck the strings (leave
them ringing as long as possible), I didn't write the entire intro part out, if you
listen to the song it'll make sense.
