**** I did NOT do this tab. I'm merely sharing it on Ultimate-Guitar for anyone
who doesn't know of the website it was taken from, and is looking for the tab.
Again, I did NOT tab this song. It was taken from http://www.sweetadeline.net/
talking_to_mary.txt. If you're interested in more Elliott Smith tabs, check out
http://www.sweetadeline.net/tabs.html. Enjoy!****
It almost killed me but here's my attempt at most of the chords and fills.
this is all a note higher than the mp3 that I have so I assume Elliott
played with his guitar tuned down to D. So bottom line, for the brain dead
like me, to play along with the recording you gotta tune all your strings
down a step, (two notes right?) That's too much trouble for me.

talking to Mary
you know you don't have to shout
she can hear what you're thinking
like you were saying it right out loud
I'm sure she
sees behind that dirty look
it was her that followed
down every stupid turn that you took

one day she'll go
I told you so
one day she'll go
I told you so
saw the one big
problem you keep under your hat
and it's pretty unlikely that
anybody else'll be cool with that
you got bus fare in your pocket
more money down in your sock
but she can't tell you how to contact
her if you won't listen to her talk
one day she'll go
I told you so
one day she'll go
I told you so
it's no problem
I'll just keep quiet
if it's easier for you
to make believing
that I don't love you
as much as I do
one day she'll go
I told you so
one day she'll go
I told you so
I told you so
I told you so
