This is "Say Yes" by Elliott Smith off of the "Good Will Hunting" soundtrack. Check out the chords to "Miss Misery" also if you haven't already. I was planning to tab all of the songs on this album from Elliott Smith. "Angeles" is going to be pretty tough, so be patient. If you listen to the CD you can get the strumming pattern. It's pretty easy. I'll put the basis of it here. Title: Say Yes Artist: Elliott Smith Transcribed and submitted: Jonathan Vidal Tune down one full step

Stay posted for "Between The Bars", "No Name #3", and hopefully "Angeles".
