Say Yes Tab by Elliott Smith

Say Yes tab by Elliott Smith

Guitar Tab

This is "Say Yes" by Elliott Smith off of the "Good Will Hunting"
soundtrack. Check out the chords to "Miss Misery" also if you haven't
already. I was planning to tab all of the songs on this album from
Elliott Smith. "Angeles" is going to be pretty tough, so be patient. If
you listen to the CD you can get the strumming pattern. It's pretty
easy. I'll put the basis of it here.

      SOLO:
   |------------7---7-------|------------------|-------------------|
   |------------------------|------------------|-5h7-8-------------|
   |------------------------|------7-7-7-------|-------------------|
   |------5-7-9---9---9-7---|-9-10-------9-7-5-|-------9-7-5h7-5---|
   |----------------------7-|------------------|-----------------7-|
   |-3-3--------------------|------------------|-------------------|


     Chords used:
     C:335553                 G(2):355433
     D:557775                 Em(2):779987
     G:7(10)9787              F7:88(10)8(10)8
     Em:XX0453                Dm7:XX7565
     A7:575655                D(2):(10)(12)(12)(11)(10)(10)

    In that part where it goes "sooner or laaaaaaaterrrrr" there's a
little fill that goes like this.

   |-5--5-----5-----5-----|-3--3-----3------8--7--5--|
   |-5----5-----5-----5---|-5----5-----5-------------|  then just go
   |-6------6-----6-----6-|-5------5-----5-----------|  back to the
   |-5--------------------|-5------------------------|   verse
   |-7--------------------|-3------------------------|   pattern
   |-5--------------------|-3------------------------|


    the second guitar part in the verse is like this

   --|-7v-7---7v-7-|-7v-7---10v-10-|-8v-8---7v-7-|-5v-5---5v-5-|
   --|-------------|---------------|-------------|-------------|
   --|-------------|---------------|-------------|-------------|
   --|-------------|---------------|-------------|-------------|
   --|-------------|---------------|-------------|-------------|
   --|-------------|---------------|-------------|-------------|


    Where it goes "She'll decide what she wants", it goes
  |--3--8-7-5-3-|
  |--5--------3-|
  |--5--------4-|
  |--5--------5-|
  |--3--------5-|
  |--3--------3-|

    And where it goes " iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiisssssss" the second
guitar plays this

   |-7h8p7h8p7h8p7h8p7h8p7h8p7h8p7h8-|
   |---------------------------------|
   |---------------------------------|
   |---------------------------------|
   |---------------------------------|
   |---------------------------------|

          With all these parts it may look complicated, but if you have
two guitarists it is incredibally easy. Stay posted for "Between The
Bars", "No Name #3", and hopefully "Angeles".
