                     Elliott Smith - Everything Means Nothing To Me
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Gallagher2006

Tuning: Standard

Easy song, and heartbreaking. Gotta love it. Piano arranged for guitar, obviously. It 
key quite a bit, so it'll be a bit harder to sing than your average Elliott song =]
