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.

Lyrics
Verse 1
I’m in love with the world
Through the eyes of a girl
Who’s still around the morning after
Verse 2
We broke up a month ago
But I grew up, I didn’t know
You’d be around the morning after
SOLO
Verse 3
It’s always been wait and see
A happy day and then you pay
You feel like shit the morning after
Verse 4
But now I feel changed around
And instead of falling down
I’m standing up the morning after
Bridge (strummed)
C D G
Situations get fucked up
Em A7 C
And turned around sooner ar laaaaaatteeeeeeeeer
Verse 5
I could be another fool
Or an exception to the rule
You tell me the morning after
Middle 8 (strummed)
G(2) D Em(2)
Crickets spin can’t come to rest
F7 Em(2)
I’m damaged bad at best
D C
She’ll decide what she wants
G(2) D Em(2)
I’ll probably be the last to know
F7 Em(2)
No one says until it shows
D Em7
See how is iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiisssss
Em7 Dm7 Dm7 C C
They want you or they don’t
D(2)
Say Yes
Repeat Verse 1

A7:575655 D(2):(10)(12)(12)(11)(10)(10)
In that part where it goes «sooner or laaaaaaaterrrrr» there’s a
little fill that goes like this.
|-5—5——5——5——|-3—3——3——8—7—5—|
|-5—-5——5——5—|-5—-5——5————-| then just go
|-6——6——6——6-|-5——5——5————| back to the
|-5———————|-5————————| verse
|-7———————|-3————————| pattern
|-5———————|-3————————|
the second guitar part in the verse is like this
—|-7v-7—7v-7-|-7v-7—10v-10-|-8v-8—7v-7-|-5v-5—5v-5-|
—|————-|—————|————-|————-|
—|————-|—————|————-|————-|
—|————-|—————|————-|————-|
—|————-|—————|————-|————-|
—|————-|—————|————-|————-|
Where it goes «She’ll decide what she wants», it goes
|—3—8-7-5-3-|
|—5———3-|
|—5———4-|
|—5———5-|
|—3———5-|
|—3———3-|
And where it goes » iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiisssssss» the second
guitar plays this
|-7h8p7h8p7h8p7h8p7h8p7h8p7h8p7h8-|

With all these parts it may look complicated, but if you have
two guitarists it is incredibally easy. Stay posted for «Between The
Bars», «No Name #3», and hopefully «Angeles».
