Elliott Smith – Everything Means Nothing To Me
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Gallagher2006
Tuning: Standard
Easy song, and heartbreaking. Gotta love it. Piano arranged for guitar, obviously. It
key quite a bit, so it'll be a bit harder to sing than your average Elliott song =]

Verse
Someone found the future as a statue
in a fountain at attention,
looking backward in a pool of water
Wishes with a blue
songbird on his shoulder
A*
Who keeps singing over everything
Chorus
Everything means nothing to me
Everything means nothing to me
Everything means nothing to me
Theres a little riff played on the piano here. I've tabbed the basic melody, but also

Verse
i picked up the song and found my picture
in the paper the reflection in the
water showed an
iron man still trying to salute
A*
people from a time when he was
everything he's supposed to be
Everything means nothing to me
Everything means nothing to me
Everything means nothing to me
Everything means nothing to me
And that's it.
Lovely song, and somewhat easy once you get the chords down
Hope this helps
Cheers
