Elliott Smith - Rose Parade

I've tried to arrange this for one guitar so it's not exactly correct as far
as being what he actually plays, but I think its simple and gets the gist of
it across. Have fun

[verse 2] - (same as verse 1)

 Said won't you follow me down to the rose parade?

 Tripped over a dog in a choke chain collar

 People were shouting and pushing and saying

 When I traded a smoke for a food stamp dollar

 A augmentedA ridiculous marching band started playing

 And got me singing along to some half-hearted victory song


[Chorus]

 Won't you follow me down to the rose parade?

[verse 3] - (same as verse 1)


 The trumpet has obviously been drinking

 Cause he's fucking up even the simplest linse

 I'd say it's a sight thats quite worth seeing

 Its just that everyone's interest is stronger than mine

 And when they cleen the street I'll be the only shit that's left behind


[chorus] - (same as previous)

 Won't you follow me down to the rose parade?

 Won't you follow me down to the rose parade?

 Won't you follow me down to the rose parade?
