------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Roman Candle - Elliott Smith ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: thePOMPANO Email: thepompano@gmail.com Tuning: DBGDAD Here's a rough sketch of the *correct* chords for one of my favorite songs that everyone else tried to tab out and miserably screwed up. To give you all a hint of how I got these chords and the tuning, I went to archive.org and found a live Elliott Smith bootleg featuring a solo arrangement of Roman Candle. Got the tuning by listening to him tune the guitar on Clementine or something. Anyway, to make this sound good, make sure to travis pick throughout this entire song (it's a workout!). It's definitely not easy to play but I'm pretty confident that this time around the chords are 100% accurate.
