Last Call by Elliott Smith - Guitar Chords

<< Back to Elliott Smith Song List
Version 1
            *****not my tab*****
Its a combination of what sounds good between two Elliott Smith fansite's versions.
(Sweet Adeline and Smiling at Confusion).
As usual tune it one whole step to get what Elliott normally sounded like.

D                           F    G        Bb
last call he was sick of it all asleep at home
D        F           G  A  Bb
told you off and goodbye
                 D                 F                  G               Bb
well you know one day it'll come to haunt you that you didn't tell him quite the truth
D                          F                G                     A    
you're a crisis, you're an icicle, you're a tongueless talker, you don't 
Bb
care what you say
         G                           Gm     Ebsus2
you're a jaywalker and you just, just walk away
          Gm      Csus2
and that's all you do

    Gm          Ebsus2     Gm            Csus2   Gm
the clap of the fading out sound of your shoes
Ebsus2   Gm     Csus2  Gm              Ebsus2  Gm  Csus2
made him wonder who he thought that he knew

     D                      F        G                   Bb
last call he was sick of it all, the endless stream of reminders
           D                          F                          G
made him so sick of you, sick of you, sick of you, sick of your sound, 
          A    Bb
sick of you comin' around

D              F                    G              Bb
tryin to crawl under my skin when I already shed my best defense
         D                          F                       G        
it comes out all around that you've won and I think I'm all done, you can 
  A             Bb   
switch me off safely
          G                                   Gm      Ebsus2
while I'm lyin' here waiting for sleep to overtake me

Gm  C7  Gm7  Ebsus2  Gm   Csus2

Gm           Ebsus2        Gm            Csus2
you're still here but just check to make sure
Gm       Ebsus2    Gm       Csus2
all you aspired to do was endure

          Gm            Ebsus2        Gm             Csus2
you can't ask for more, ask for more, knowing you'll never get
Gm             Ebsus2  Gm  Csus2
that which you asked for
       Gm        Ebsus2 Gm   Csus2
so you cast your shadow everywhere
         Gm         Ebsus2  Gm  Csus2
like the man in the moon

        F                       E        F
and you start to drink and just wanna continue
G            C/G
it'll all be yesteryear soon
    F                       E        F
you start to drink and just wanna continue
G            C/G
it'll all be yesteryear soon

D  F  G  Bb

D               F                   G                A    Bb
church bells and now I'm awake and I guess it must be some kind of holiday
        D       F                  G    A   Bb
I can't seem to join in the celebration
         D                          F                   G                
but I'll go to the service and I'll go to pray and I'll sing the praises in

A     Bb
my maker's name
     A G
like I was as good as she made me

      Gm            Ebsus2       Gm              Csus2
and I wanted her to tell me that she would never wake me  [x8]
    Gm         Ebsus2      Gm       Csus2
I'm lyin' here waiting for sleep to overtake me

Gm  Ebsus2  Gm  C7  
Gm7  Ebsus2  Gm  Csus2
