- Fond Farewell - by Elliott Smith Album: From A Basement On The Hill Tabbed by Dries Meijer, Holland When you listen on the album you can clearly hear that Elliott uses Barré chords instead of normal chords witch you see on other tabs. So I can pretty much say that this is the closest you can get. At the bottom of the tab you can see the chords. Have fun with my first tab.

About the artist behind A Fond Farewell Chords:
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.
