Tomorrow Tomorrow by Elliott Smith tabbed from live performance (04-11-98 largo - los angeles, ca). tune down a full step Chords C* 8 10 10 9 8 8 G* 10 10 12 12 12 10 A* 12 12 14 14 14 12 E* 7 7 9 9 9 7 E** 3 5 5 4 3 3 B7 x 2 1 2 0 0 I'm not sure if the intro is best approximated by triplets or some other tremolo-style rhythm. I used triplets, so read: one-and, tri-pl-et, three-and, tri-pl-et, ... (only, say it really fast). Listen to the song for pull-offs, hammer-ons and slides since i probably missed a bunch. On the record, I think Elliott uses a second guitar to play some parts an octave higher (for example, in verse 1 notes played on the G and D strings). For fingering, p = thumb, i = index finder, m = middle finger.
