Talking To Mary

Elliott Smith

Transposer:

**** I did NOT do this tab. I’m merely sharing it on Ultimate-Guitar for anyone who doesn’t know of the website it was taken from and is looking for the tab. Again I did NOT tab this song. It was taken from http://www.sweetadeline.net/ talking_to_mary.txt. If you’re interested in more Elliott Smith tabs check out http://www.sweetadeline.net/tabs.html. Enjoy!**** It almost killed me but here’s my attempt at most of the chords and fills. this is all a note higher than the mp3 that I have so I assume Elliott played with his guitar tuned down to D.  So bottom line for the brain dead like me to play along with the recording you gotta tune all your strings down a step (two notes right?) That’s too much trouble for me. verse:             /       / C5b                 e|-0--2--2--0----------------------0-2---0-0-0------0-----0--| B|-0--0--0--0--3-3-0-----0-0--0----1-0---1-3-0-0----0-0---0--| G|-1--1--1--1--0-0-0-2h0-0-2--2----0-0---0-0-0--2-0-0-7h0-0--| D|-2--2--2--2--2-2-2-----0-2--0----2-2---2-4-4------7-7---5--| A|-2--2--2--2--0-0-0-----2-0--2----3-3---3-5-5------8-8---7-5| E|-0--0--0--0--2-2-2-----3-----------------------------------| talking to Mary you know you don’t have to shout              she can hear what you’re thinking like you were saying it right out loud I’m sure she sees behind that dirty look               it was her that followed down every stupid turn that you took chorus:    /         (w/fill) e|-0--0---0--0------0--------| B|-0--3-s-5--0------0--------| G|-0--0---0--0------0--------| D|-2--2-s-4--2------0--------| A|-3--3-s-5--3------2-0-2-0--| E|-3----------------3-------3| one day she’ll go      I   told you   so      one day she’ll go      I   told you   so      saw the one big problem you keep under your hat                and it’s pretty unlikely that anybody else’ll be cool with that you got bus fare in your pocket more money down in your sock               but she can’t tell you how to contact her if you won’t listen to her talk one day she’ll go      I   told you   so      one day she’ll go      I   told you   so      it’s no problem I’ll just keep quiet if it’s easier for you to make believing that I don’t love you as much as I do one day she’ll go      I   told you   so      one day she’ll go      I   told you   so      I   told you   so      I   told you   so

Cette chanson évoque le dialogue intérieur entre une personne et une figure qui semble être une source de guidance et de soutien. Le protagoniste s’adresse à cette figure avec une forme de désespoir et d’interrogation, évoquant une connexion qui va au-delà des mots. Il souligne la difficulté de comprendre les émotions et les attentes de cette présence, tout en reconnaissant que parfois, il est plus simple de garder le silence que d’affronter la réalité de ses sentiments. Le récit s'articule autour de la notion que, malgré l’illusion de contrôle, il est important de ne pas négliger certains signes et d'être ouvert à la communication, même lorsque cela semble difficile. La mélodie, doucement mélancolique, accompagne cette réflexion sur l'amour, le manque et l’incertitude des relations.
