This tablature is derived from another Elliott Smith tab done by Ryan Ramirez.
Both his tab and my additions were all our own work. I pretty much just took his
tab and then spread it out and fine-tuned it. It's actually a pretty easy song to
learn. 

The basic layout is:   INTRO x2
			CHORUS x2
			VERSE 1 x2 (1st time)
			VERSE 2
			CHORUS x2
			VERSE 1 x4 (2nd time)
			VERSE 2
			CHORUS x2
			VERSE 1 x2 (3rd time)
			BRIDGE
			VERSE 3 x4
			CHORUS x2
			FINAL CHORUS x2
			SHORT BRIDGE x2
			OUTRO

Key: / = 2 half-notes, 1 down-stroke and 1 up-stroke

Needle in the Hay by Elliott Smith (Aug 6, 1969-Oct. 21, 2003 rest in peace) 
from the album Elliott Smith.

    Your hand on his arm, the hay stack charm around your neck
Strung out and thin, calling some friend trying to cash some check

   He's wearing your clothes, head down to toes, a reaction to you
You say you know what he did, but you idiot kid, you don't have a clue

     He's acting dumb, that's what you've come, to expect

Sometimes they just get caught in the eye, you're pulling him through

  6th and Powell a dead sweat in my teeth,      Gonna walk, walk, walk
  4 more blocks, plus the one in my brain         Down downstairs
   To the man, He's gonna make it all OK         I can't be myself
I can't be myself, then I don't want to talk    I'm taking the cure
