Elliott Smith - The White Lady Loves You More guitar tab
The White Lady Loves You More
tabbed by Bunch
Tune Down full step
The easiest way to learn this song is to get the guitar parts down, and
then
it will seem almost obvious where the lyrics should fall into place.
I'll label
each part by number and then lay them over the lyrics so that you get a
vague
idea where they go.

For the part that starts with "I'm looking at a hand of broken plans..."
continue
this picking pattern for every chord over the lyrics, which all are
regular bar chords in the E form. (except E which is open) If the chord
is written twice do the pattern twice.
Once you get the pattern down this part is pretty easy, I guarantee this
is not the exact way to pay it but it sounds ok to me. I hope that makes
sense, but I doubt it.
