Elephants chords by Rachael Yamagata

so, i can't believe no one's wanted to tab this one yet, since this is arguably
her best work. she plays it on the piano, and there are transitional notes i've left
out, but this version sounds pretty good to me.

alright, first off, chords. now, there are four "sections" to the song.
it starts off very soft, then gets a bit louder, and then there's a rush towards
the end that's even louder, and then it falls back down to the very soft again.
again, because this is a piano song, this is more of an interpretation, but
the chords are right, and the idea behind this is more of a solo performance.

so, put a capo on the 1st string. otherwise standard tuning.
******NOTE, the chords i list are NOT RELATIVE to the capo. they are the
actual chords (except for the third section, which i'll remind you for).
so "Gm" is NOT Gm relative to capo, but actual Gm, and fret 10 is the actual
10th fret.


it's not going to be as hard as i make it sound.

section 1 chords:
Gm: 10-11-12-12-10-10
D#: 1-x-12-13-13-11 (open string, or just barred)
F: x-10-10-10-8-8
Cm: 11-13-12-13-x-11 (use thumb)
A#: 10-11-10-12-1-1 (capo's on, so open)
D# sequence:
A#*(x-11-10-12-13-10) -> F -> D#


sections 2 & 4 chords:

Cm: 8-8-8-10-10-8
A#: 6-6-7-8-8-6
D# sequence:
