The Smiths - William It Was Really Nothing
Capo on 2nd fret
 
This is mostly from the live version (one guitar)
Check out some of the Smiths live performances of this, like Madrid 1985, from YT.
 
Figuring out this song has been torture, but luckily there are a few videos of people
playing it on YT. But they all play certain parts differently! I’ve revised this to
what I think sounds accurate to the live version, while going with the easier parts
when I see YTers playing a part differently.

On the live version of the Chorus, Marr would sometimes play
something like this for that last part:
 
     Bm(add9)    F#6         Bm7          Bm6 (let ring)
F#|--7--5-7--5---7--5-5--5---5--5-7--5----5------------|
C#|--5--5-5--5---5--5-8--5---5--5-5----5--5------------|
A |--5--5-5--5---5--5-5--5---5--5-5-------5------------|
E |--7--7-7--7---6--6-6--6---5--5-5-------4------------|
B |----------------------------------------------------|

I fixed a lot of the verse chords and the finger picking sequences in the verses. I made the chorus into the recorded version with the live version underneath as an option.
