Song: So Long, Mrs. Smith
Band: The Matthew Good Band
Album: Raygun EP
Music and Lyrics by Matthew Good © 1996 dunharrow music / gennsongs /
emi april music (Canada) ltd. (SOCAN) Matthew Good
This is a really sweet sounding song. It’s all acoustic, with two guitar tracks,
no drums or bass, and a capo on the second fret of both guitars. Here it is.
(In 3/3 time)
There is no intro, it goes straight into the first verse.
Guitar one is all chords, so I’ll tab them out here.

Verse 2 Guitar 1 and 2 do the second half of the first verse.
Solo
Guitar 1 Repeats first part of verse indefinitely (song fades out at the end)
The tab is written as best I can determine until the song fades. The solo starts
in the third
bar of the section.
