Shytown

Song name: Shytown Artist(s): Elliott Smith & Pete Krebs Album: Not too sure.. sorry Tuning: Standard (though I drop mine a full step down and bring it back up with a capo. *there is a lot of walking into and out of chords with the use of a very simple picking pattern. I am not going to type it all out becaues if you listen to the song you will realize how easy it is. There is also a Bass Pattern played while going into and out of the verses and ending the song it is played by Elliott but sounds much better if you play it while doing playing the chords that Pete Krebs plays which are the ones I have here.  PLEASE go easy on me I have only been playing 2 months shy of 2 years and everything I know is self taught. Thanks.

Also very very simple to pick up)  Crossing my eyes and making faces I hope we don’t go to too many places                    ’Cos then before I go to sleep I’ll wonder exactly what she means when......       When she says          that I aaaammmm.. I am too shy (Bass Picking part starts again here 2 x’s) Verse’s 2 and 3 are exactly the same chords. Verse 2                   Finding a way to stay inside She always asks me am I having a good time? Come in here where the band is playing Are you coming along or are you staying? Well I’m fine I’m fiiiiinnnee.. Fine quit asking Instrumental Bridge   (starts with bass picing part) - - - /* - * - - - - /* - - - /* - * - - - - (bass picking part) Verse 3                       It’s the hardest thing to greet her friends I always feel like I have to entertain them All alone with the jokes that I forget Someone’s boyfriend damned the TV set Well I live I liiiivvee..... I live in a shytown Well I live yea I liiivvvee.... I live in a shytown. Bass Picking Pattern. (on G chord)                       ------------------------------ ------------------------------ D------------------3---------- A--1--(HO)--2--------------- ----------------------4------- Don’t know if I did that right or if you can understand that but if you listen to the song you will get the idea.   The walking in and out of chords usually occurs when going going into the "G".  Yes I have a tendancy to over explain.                     If you have any comments or corrections feel free to send me an email at      I would be more than happy for a little help.                                                                     Thanks
