Son Of Sam
Elliott Smith
[Intro] (This is basically just the chords from the piano part. You can pretty much ignore the bass notes of this intro if you want to. How do you play E9/G# on guitar anyway??) Abaug / / / / / [Verse] Am Abaug Something’s happening don’t speak too soon. I told the boss off and made my move; I got nowhere to go. [Chorus] Son of Sam son of a shining path a clouded mind. (aah-aaaah aaaah aa-ah) Couple killer each and every time. (aah-aaaah aaaah aa-ah) Abaug (little walk-down riff) [Verse] Am Abaug I’m not uncomfortable feeling weird. Lonely leered options disappeared but I know what to do. [Chorus] Son of Sam son of a doctor’s touch a nurse’s love. (aah-aaaah aaaah aa-ah) Acting under orders from above. (aah-aaaah aaaah aa-ah) (I feel silly writing this out) [Bridge] (Back to Verse progression for the solo) Abaug [Chorus] Son of Sam son of a shining path a clouded mind. (aah-aaaah aaaah aa-ah) Couple killer running out of time (aah-aaaah aaaah aa-ah) [Instrumental] Abaug / / / / / [Verse] Shiva opens her arms now to make sure I don’t get too far. I may talk in my sleep tonight ’cause I don’t know what I am. I’m a little like you more like Son of Sam.
