--Title: let's get lost
--Artist: elliott smith
--release: basement on the hill
--last updated: 12/30/07

--transcription by: j. elliott dozier
--contact: elliott_dozier@hotmail.com


--tuning: E A D G B E (capo on 5th fret)

NOTE: Due to Elliott Smith's style, it's almost impossible to show notation for every single pluck of the string. I'm only going to show rhythm for the intro. For the rest of the song, you're on your own. Elliott Smith does a combination of arpeggios, normal strumming, and good old fashioned finger picking. Refer to the album, the Seattle performance on YouTube, or email me if you have any questions.

--INTRO--first I'll show you the general chords he's using, and then I'll show you the rhythm. This is where your fingers should be:
|---5----5----3------------------------0----2---|
|---3----3----3----5----3----1----0----1----0---|
|---0----0----0----0----0----0----0----2----2---|
|---2----2----2----2----2----2----2----2----1---|
|---0----0----0----0----0----0----0----0--------|
|---0---------------------------------------2---|

Here's the rhythm. When I'm playing, I count, "one two, one-two-three" over and over again in my head until the end of the intro. I'll put stars where you start each rotation:

	   *	      *		 *	    
|-------5--5-----------3-----------------------|
|------3-----3---------------------5-----------|
|-----0------0----0-0----0----0-0----0----0-0--|
|----2------(2)----(2)--(2)----(2)--(2)----(2)-|
|---0------0----0------0----0------0----0------|
|--0-------------------------------------------|

   *	     *		*
|---------------------------------------0--------2--|
|--3----------1-----------0-------------1-------0---|
|----0---0-0----0----0-0----0----0-0----2------2----|
|---(2)---(2)--(2)----(2)--(2)----------2-----1-----|
|--0----0-----0----0------0----0-----0--------------|
|--------------------------------------------2------|

--VERSE 1--from now on, I'll only show chords...you'll have to figure out the rhythm, picking, arpeggios on your own...
