No Name #1 Elliott Smith
Elliott Smith - No Name #1
from Roman Candle, 1994
Of course, Elliott tends to have two guitars going at once: one playing rhythm chords
another playing a simple riff on the B string over it. However, the riff is playable in
chords, so this is both combined. The strumming rhythm is tough to convey, so listen to the song.

Verse Rhythm:
[C]at a party[Am] he was waiting[F] looking kind of [Dm]spooky and with[C]drawn
[C]like he could be[Am] underwater[F] the mighty mother [Dm]with her hundred [C]arms
[C]swept all a[Am]side[F] i [Dm]hate to walk be[C]hind
[C]other people's[Am] ambition[F] i [Dm]saw you waiting
Chorus Rhythm:
[G]saint [G7]like [G]with your warning
[F]leave [Am]alone [F]you don't be[G]long here
he got nervous
started whistling
every thought a ricochet
did you notice?
well i wondered
what's the worst thing i could say?
and i froze up and sighed
you remind me of someones daughter
i forgot her
i forgot her name ashamed
go home and live with your pain
leave alone
leave alone 'cos you know you don't belong
you don't belong here
and when i go
don't you follow
leave alone
leave alone 'cos you know you don't belong
you don't belong here
slip out quiet
nobody's looking
leave alone
you don't belong here
