This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Song

Artist: Ryan Adams

Song: La Cienega Just Smiled

I think both the other two tabs on this site are quite accurate so check those out too,

I think there is a second guitar playing the following chords throughout the song. I

also added my version of the solo, the slide at the end makes it sound more like Ryan's,

isn't exact but sounds good.

Capo on 8th fret

G: 320033

Cadd9: x32033

Dsus4: xx0233

Em7: 022033

-Verse I-

Cadd9 Dsus4 G

Oh the night, Here it comes again

Cadd9 Dsus4 G

It's on with the jeans, the jacket, and the shirt

Cadd9 Dsus4 G

How'd I end up feelin' so bad

Em7

Such a little girl

-Verse II-

Cadd9 Dsus4 G

And I'll hold you close in the back of my mind

Cadd9 Dsus4 G

It feels so good, but damn it makes me hurt

Cadd9 Dsus4 Em7 Dsus4 Cadd9

And I'm too scared to know how i feel about you now

Cadd9 Dsus4 G Cadd9 G

La Cienega just smiles and I'll se ya around

-Verse III-

Cadd9 Dsus4 G

Now I hold you close in the back of my mind

Cadd9 Dsus4 G

I raise my glass cause either way i'm dead

Cadd9 Dsus4 Em7 Dsus4 Cadd9

Neither of you really help me to sleep anymore

Em7 Cadd9

one breaks my body and the other breaks my soul

Cadd9 Dsus4 G

la cienega just smiles and waves goodbye

(repeat) Cadd9 G
