Elliott Smith - No Name #1
from Roman Candle, 1994

Of course, Elliott tends to have two guitars going at once: one playing rhythm chords 
another playing a simple riff on the B string over it.  However, the riff is playable in 
chords, so this is both combined.  The strumming rhythm is tough to convey, so listen to the song.

CHORDS USED:
C	x32010
Am	x02210
F	xx3211
Dm	xx0231
G	355433
G7	353433

VERSE:
The chords go C Am F Dm, and the riff (on the B string) goes like this:
B|-1---1h3-3-1---1---1h3-3-1---1---1h3-3---3---3-0---3-|

   C             Am            F           Dm
e|-0---0---0-0---0---0---0-0---1---1---1---1---1-1---1-|
B|-1---1h3-3-1---1---1h3-3-1---1---1h3-3---3---3-0---3-|
G|-0---0---0-0---2---2---2-2---2---2---2---2---2-2---2-|
D|-2---2---2-2---2---2---2-2---3---3---3---0---0-0---0-|
A|-3---3---3-3---0---0---0-0---x---x---x---x---x-x---x-|
E|-x---x---x-x---x---x---x-x---x---x---x---x---x-x---x-|


Verse Rhythm:
C         Am             F                Dm             C
at a party he was waiting looking kind of spooky and withdrawn
C               Am         F                  Dm               C
like he could be underwater the mighty mother with her hundred arms
C          Am  F  Dm             C
swept all aside i hate to walk behind
C             Am       F  Dm
other people's ambition i saw you waiting

Chorus Rhythm:
G     G7   G
saint like with your warning
F     Am    F           G
leave alone you don't belong here


he got nervous
started whistling
every thought a ricochet
did you notice?
well i wondered
what's the worst thing i could say?
and i froze up and sighed
you remind me of someones daughter
i forgot her
i forgot her name ashamed
go home and live with your pain
leave alone
leave alone 'cos you know you don't belong
you don't belong here
and when i go
don't you follow
leave alone
leave alone 'cos you know you don't belong
you don't belong here
slip out quiet
nobody's looking
leave alone
you don't belong here

About artist:

Steven Paul "Elliott" Smith (August 6, 1969 – October 21, 2003) was an American singer-songwriter and musician. Smith was born in Omaha, Nebraska, raised primarily in Texas, and resided for a significant portion of his life in Portland, Oregon, where he first gained popularity. His primary instrument was the guitar, but he was also proficient at piano, clarinet, bass, drums and harmonica. Smith had a distinctive vocal style characterized by his "whispery, spiderweb-thin delivery"[1] and use of multi-tracking to create vocal harmonies.

After playing in the rock band Heatmiser for several years, Smith began his solo career in 1994 with releases on the independent record labels Cavity Search and Kill Rock Stars. In 1997 he signed a contract with DreamWorks Records, for which he recorded two albums. Smith rose to mainstream prominence when his song "Miss Misery", included in the soundtrack for the film Good Will Hunting, was nominated for an Oscar in the Best Original Song category in 1997.

Smith battled with depression, alcoholism and drug addiction for years, and these topics often appeared in his lyrics. At age 34, he died in Los Angeles, California from two stab wounds to the chest.[2] The autopsy evidence was inconclusive as to whether the wounds were self-inflicted.[3] At the time of his death, Smith was working on his sixth studio album, From a Basement on the Hill, which was released posthumously on October 19, 2004.
