Going Nowhere I couldn't find an accurate tab for this song anywhere, so I dabbled with it for one night and this is what I got. This is propably not accurate either but hey, I'm stoked on it. Hah. Note: Elliot Smith tunes a whole step lower for this song. I don't know if he did that alot... Took me a while to figure this out. So, the tuning is actually D G C F A D The intro and the verses are pretty much the same thing. Repeating the first and the second part. It's obviously best to just listen to the song and figure out the structure. 1.Part 2.Part |-------2--3---3-2--2--0---0-| |-----000000000----------0---2---3-| |-------1--1---1-1--1--1---1-| |-----000000000-0-0------1---1---1-| |----0--0--0---0-0--0--0---0-| |-----2/4-4-4\2-2-0-2----2---2---2-| |----------------------------| |----------------------------------| |--3----------3----3-----3---| |---------------------0------------| |----------------------------| |-0--------------------------------| Something like this replaces the first part at the end of the intro and appears again at the end of the song. This comes right before the chorus.

Verse He waved hello, Started like a mile, We met - There's no Changing my mind, I won't walk the Stairs with you tonight Goin' nowhere 2.Verse The clock moved a Quarter of a turn The time it took a cigarette to burn She said, You got A lot of things to learn Goin' nowhere Chorus G D F C I saw you move A certain way Dm Am F C I missed you a lot: G D F C I turned to this Damned place Dm Am G F Shoulda been forgot 3.Verse Echoes drown our Conversation out Echoes that only Seem to bring about A silent expression Easy when allowed Goin' nowhere 4.Verse The steps made a pattern I had never seen I felt like a kid of Six or seventeen Flowers off in some Empty daydream Goin' nowhere Chorus It's dead and gone Matter of fact It may be for the best, It sets you, frees you Can't take back Honestly I guess 5.Verse The old records Sitting on the floor The ones I can't Put on any more He walked over To her like before Goin' nowhere Goin' nowhere Goin' nowhere Tabbed by Petrus Piironen
