Song: Waltz #2 (XO) Artist: Elliott Smith Album: XO To play this song exactly like on the album recording, you need to tune your guitar a full step down. Of course there are two or three guitars used, but I´m just gonna write down the main chords and little bits so you can play the song pretty much on one guitar. 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 |------------|------------|------------|------------| |------------|------------|------------|------------| |------------|------------|------------|------------| |------------|------------|------------|------------| |------------|------------|------------|------------| |------------|------------|------------|------------| INTRO 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 |------------|------------|------------|------0-0-0-| |------------|------------|------------|------1-1-1-| |------------|------------|------------|------2-2-2-| |------------|------------|------------|------2-2-2-| |------------|------------|------------|------0-0-0-| |------------|------------|------------|------------| Drum intro
