Elliott Smith - "Looking Over My Shoulder" Tabbed by Hunter MacDermut As usual there are a couple of guitars here, one playing chords and one establishing the melody. I've just lumped them together so you can play it by yourself. So the chords are approximately the actual chord he's playing combined with the melody note. F¿ - 1x0101 Intro: D DM7 Gsus4 G Bb F A7/E D Verse: D D/F G Wiped out in the city slick B7 Em G7 C Another sick rock 'n roller acting like a dick B7 Needin' cash Em G7 C Burnin' through the trash G D/F# That piles up in this place F¿ Am Am/G F And fills up behind my empty face Dm Bb F (A7sus4 A7) Full of things that I'm not to do Chorus (repeat intro progression): You come over with all of your friends And all their opinions I don't want to know And I'm looking over my shoulder Bookin' away with nowhere to go Verse: I run down to the corner lot It's forty-five past two I almost forgot to show Got a date to make with Mr. so 'n so After which I wonÕt care when you all start to bitch And moan about bein' alone Chorus: You come over with all of your friends And all their opinions I don't want to know And I'm looking over my shoulder Bookin' away with nowhere to go Bridge: E Gm Well can't you just leave me alone Bm Bm/A Bm/G# G Gm You've already thrown all the sticks and stones you had to send my way Well can't you just leave it at that And spare us both the bother cause I just bounce back Anyway Verse: I got nothin' that I want to do More than make another sonnet fuck you to play Whenever you make my life clichŽ So to fit in some little box with the all the labeled shit You would say to keep confusion away Chorus: You come over with all of your friends And all their opinions I don't want to know And I'm looking over my shoulder Bookin' away with nowhere to go You come over with all of your friends And all their opinions I don't want to know And I'm looking over my shoulder Bookin' away
