Elliott Smith - Pretty Ugly Before

i felt this song deserved a better tab , and though i’m not sure if this is the way
elliott played it , it sounds pretty close to my ears .

standard tuning .

C/G : 332010
D7/F# : 200212 ( reach your thumb to fret the F# on the low E if you’re comfortable
with it , if not , D7 sounds fine .
G : 320033
E7 : 020100
F : 133211
Am : 002210

riff thing based around A G shape :
E | – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – 3 – – –

verse 1 :

C/G D7/F# G
sunshine been keeping me up for days
C/G D7/F# G
there is no nighttime , it’s only a passing phase
C/G D7/F# G E7
and i feel pretty , pretty enough for yo – – – – – – – u
C/G D7/F#
i felt so ugly before
F ( there is a piano part here ) Am
i didn’t know what to do

verse 2 : ( exactly the same as verse 1 , just keep repeating the C/G , D7/F# , F , Am part )

sometimes is all i feel up to now
but it’s not worth it to you , ’cos you gotta get high somehow
is it destruction that you’re required to feel?
like somebody wants you , someone that’s more for real?
sunshine been keeping me up for days
there is no nighttime , only a passing phase
and i’ll feel pretty another hour or two
i felt so ugly before
i didn’t know what to do
i felt so ugly before
i didn’t know what to do
i felt so ugly before
i didn’t know what to do
ugly before
