t= thumb (if you cant do it that way, drop the 7 and do it another way)

Here's the meat:

Verse 1

	Am7
	Drink up baby

	F
	stay up all night

	C	C/B
	the things you could do, you won'	t but you might

	Am7
the	potential you'll be

	F
but yo	u'll never see

	C	E	F
the p	romises you'	ll onl	y make

	Am7
	drink up with me now

	F
and fo	rget all about

	C	C/B
the p	ressure of days,	do what I say

	Am7
	and I'll make you ok

	F
and	drive them away

	C	E	F
the i	mage is stuc	k in your	head

Chorus:

Here's the bass climb during the Am chord- I'm making this REALLY

specific so it should be easy to get... this is the way I do it so your

guitar fretboard size and hands may cause you to have to alter it a

little... but I hope it helps.

b= the bass string you should pluck

**As I've said many times before, if you don't have big hands that

enable you to hold down the second fret with your thumb you may have to

drop the 7 on the Am so that you can hold the second fret down with a

finger. OR you could just NOT do the bass climb... but that would make

the song sound really lame...and it's not...so please don't do it.**

However, if you're REALLY slick, then try sliding your third finger from

the second fret to the third very quickly and then get it in position

for the F chord. It flows nice and I think that's what Elliot Smith

actually does.

You start the chorus plucking obvious bass strings loudly and then start

playing the bass climb I transcribed above by the first Am chord. After

you finish that then you have to play those chords with the weird

finger/thumb stretches and after that (on the third Am) you play the

bass climb again. I guarantee that this WILL take some practice.

	F	G	Am
	peop	le y	ou've been before

	Fm/G#	G	Am7/F#
that you  don	't    wan	t   aroun	d anymore

	F	G	Am
that p	ush and s	hove and won't	bend to your will

	F	Fm
	I'll keep them s	till

	Am7
	drink up baby

	F
l	ook at the stars

	C	C/B
I'll	kiss you again	between the bars

	Am7
where I'm see	ing you there

	F
with your han	ds in the air

	C	E	F
wa	iting to fin	ally be cau	ght

	Am7
drink	up one more time

	F
and	I'll make you mine

	C	C/B
k	eep you apart, deep	in my heart

	Am7
separ	ate from the rest

	F
where I li	ke you the best

	C	E	F
and	keep the	things you fo	rgot

Now just repeat the chorus. End on the Fm chord and just fade with it.

*the ONLY way to learn this song well is to play along with it when

you're first learning*

Anyways, I hoped this tab helped you... I like this song and and enjoy

playing it because it is something you can do on your own. If you have

any GOOD corrections to this song, a rookie Juan Gonzalez card,

sarcastic comments, blatant insults, crappy forwarded jokes, or just

need somebody to talk to, e-mail me at: hurler77@hotmail.com or you can

check out my band's site (Goldfish in the Toilet) and e-mail my friend

about the song if you don't like my attitude. It's at
