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 Im just gonna write down the main
chords and little bits so you can play the song pretty much on one guitar.

Such a familiar name

Tell Mr. Man with impossible plans to just leave me alone
In the place where I make no mistakes
In the place where I have what it takes

But Im gonna love you anyhow
Im never gonna know you now
But Im gonna love you anyhow
Im never gonna know you now
