Chords with lyrics

Song Title: Smile
TBC Original? Yes
Written By: Chris and Rich Robinson
Recording Session: Band, By Your Side
Record: Band (released as "Lost Crowes")
Live Debut: 04/13/2006
Shows: 25 times played live
Notes: This song is from the The Band Sessions. An older more mellow version of the song
appeared on the unreleased album The Band. Lyrics below are from the earlier version,
lyrics in brackets are alternate lyrics from the By Your Side b-side.

The above information was taken from www.crowesbase.com

Tuning: EADGBE (Standard)

This tab is based off of the original Band recording of this song, not the By Your Side
b-side.  The only real difference between the two in terms of the chords is that the "A
game nobody won" and "A song already sung" lyrics have Chord diagramBB and Chord diagramE MajorE chords played over them
on the Band version and Chord diagramA augmentedA and Chord diagramD MajorD on the By Your Side b-side.  The choruses to the Band
version loosely follow the intro in terms of the picking pattern, and while there's just
a little more going on during the choruses it's not significant enough to warrant
re-tabbing the choruses note for note.  The By Your Side b-side, on the other hand, is
all over the place in terms of the picking in both the intro, choruses, and even verses,
so the chords
will have to suffice.
