Everybody Cares, Everybody Understands
Elliott Smith
INTRO: VERSE: Everybody cares everybody understands -- Yes everybody cares about you -- Yeah and whether or not you want them to It’s a chemical embrace that kicks you in the head -- To a pure synthetic sympathy -- that infuriates you totally And a quiet lie that makes you want to scream and shout Riff A So here I lay dreaming looking at the brilliant sun Riff B Raining its guiding light upon everyone For a moment’s rest you can lean against the banister -- After running upstairs again and again -- From wherever they came to fix you in but Riff A: e|--------------------------------------------------| B|--------------------------------------------------| G|---------------------------------------------0----| D|--2---------------------------------2h4-2-2-------| A|--2------------------0--2---2-3-2-----------------| E|--0---0---2-2---3-3-------------------------------| Riff B: e|---------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------------| G|--------------7--------------------------------------0---| D|---------7h9-----9--7-----7------------------------------| A|------10--------------10-------------------7h9-7-7-------| E|--------------------------------7-7h8--7-----------------| VERSE: Always fair city’s finest follow right behind -- You’ve got a pretty vision in your head -- A pencil full of poison lead And a sickened smile illegal in every town Riff So here I lay dreaming looking at the brilliant sun Riff B Raining its guiding light upon everyone Riff A Here I lay dreaming looking at the brilliant sun Riff B Raining its guiding light upon everyone BRIDGE: You say you mean well you don’t know what you mean Fucking oughta stay the hell away from things you know nothing about CODA: My favorite part of the song. I’ll tab out the main guitar part but there’s a few layers of guitar/keyboard so just jam out and mess around with a wah pedal or whatever if you can First chords are the same as verse: sweet guitar part at ~2:43 e|-------------------|-------------------------| B|-------------------|------------4------------| G|-----0h2-0---------|------4-----------4------| D|--3----------------|----4----4-----4-----4---| A|--3------------3---|-2-----------------------| E|--1----------------|-------------------------| (2x) Then 3:08: e|-------------------|---------------------------| B|-------------------|---------------------------| G|-----0h2-0---------|------4---------4----------| D|--3----------------|----4--------4-------------| A|--3------------3---|-2--------0----------------| E|--1----------------|---------------------------| e|-------------------------| B|-------------------------| G|---------4-----------4---| D|------4----------4-------| A|-------------------------| E|--3----------2-----------| |------------------------|------------------2--------------| |---------------------3--|------------------0--------------| |------------------2-----|------------------2--------------| |--------2------0--------|---2--------------1---2---4---5--| |-----2------------------|---3---0---1---2-----------------| |--0---------------------|---------------------------------| Then the rhythm guitar goes a little something like this (3:17): e|---2-------------------|---0---0-0------------------------------| B|---0-------------------|---0---0-0-----3-3-3--------------------| G|---2-------------------|---0---0-0-----2-2-2--------------2-----| D|---1----2--4------5----|---2---2-2-----0-0-0-----2--------1-----| A|---2-------------------|---2---2-2---------------3--0--1--2-----| E|-----------------------|---0------------------------------------| And the last chord progression (3:40) is:
