#Strum those in rhythm, and it should sound right.
#Those are the chords for all of the verse parts.
#For the bridge, just apreggiate them.
#
#The verse is just a repetition on those chords for 8 bars I think,
#heres the chorus
#
I’m almost drowning in her sea, shes nearly crawlin on her knees
Fpr the last chorus, its
I’m almost drowning in her sea, she’s nearly crawlin on her knees,
It’s almost everything I need
Essentailly for everything not Tabbed out, play the main riff.
Good luck!

Sullivan Street by Counting Crows
from August and Everything After
Words: Adam Duritz
Music: Adam Duritz & David Bryson
This is a very simple song to play involving a few easy chords with
alternating bass strings played. The effectiveness comes from the haunting,
soulful vocals.
D/G D chord with a G bass (300032)
Intro: D D/G D D/G D D/G D D/G
Took the way home [D/G]that leads back to Sullivan Street[D/G]
Across the water [D/G]and home through the town[D/G]
Past the shadows [D/G]that fall down wherever we meet[D/G]
Pretty soon now, [D/G]I won’t come around [D/G]//// (strong strum)
I’m almost drowning in her sea
She’s nearly fallen to her knees
Took the way [D/G]home …..(Ba, Ba, Baaaa)[D/G]
Took the way home [D/G]that leads back to Sullivan Street[D/G]
Where all the bodies [D/G] hang on the air[D/G]
If she remembers sh[D/G]e hides it whenever we meet[D/G]
Either way now I[D/G] don’t really care[D/G]
‘Cause I’m gone from there
I’m almost drowning in her sea
G D (arpeggio)
she’s nearly crawling on her knees
[D/G] [D/G] She’s down on her [D/G]knees
She’s down on her [D/G]knees
(strum)
Took the way home[D/G] that leads back to Sullivan Stree[D/G]t
Where I’m just another rider [D/G]burned to the groun[D/G]d
Come tumbling down
I’m almost drowning in his sea
She’s near me, crawling on her knees
It’s almost everything I need.[D/G][D/G]
I’m down on my knees[D/G]
I’m down on my knees[D/G]
I’m down on….
down on my knees.[D/G]
I’m down on my knees.
Arpeggio:
D pluck 4&1 together, then 1,2,3,1,2,3
D/G pluck 6&1 together, same pattern

Murder of One – Counting Crows

This is really loosely done. You’ll definitely have to listen to
the recording.

Blue morning Blue morning
Wrapped in strands of fist and bone
Curiosity, Kitten,
Doesn’t have to mean you’re on your own
You can look outside your window
He doesn’t have to know
We can talk awhile, baby
We can take it nice and slow

All your life is such a shame, shame, shame
All your love is just a dream, dream, dream

Are you happy when you’re sleeping?
Does he keep you safe and warm?
Does he tell you when you’re sorry?
Does he tell you when you’re wrong?
I’ve been watching you for hours
It’s been years since we were born
We were perfect when we started
I’ve been wondering where we’ve gone

All your life is such a shame
All your love is just a dream

I dreamt I saw you walking up a hillside in the snow
Casting shadows on the winter sky as you stood there counting crows
One for sorrow Two for joy
Three for girls and four for boys
Five for silver Six for gold and
Seven for a secret never to be told
There’s a bird that nests inside you
Sleeping underneath your skin
When you open up your wings to speak
I wish you’d let me in

All your life is such a shame
All your love is just a dream
Open up your eyes
You can see the flames of your wasted life
You should be ashamed
You don’t want to waste your life

I walk along these hillsides In the summer ‘neath the sunshine
I am feathered by the moonlight falling down on me

Change, chane, change

Just down the street from your hotel, baby
I stay at home with my disease
And ain’t this position familiar, darling
Well, all monkeys do what they see
Help me stay awake, I’m falling…
Down on Virginia and La Loma
Where I got friends who’ll care for me
You got an attitude of everything I ever wanted
I got an attitude of need
Help me stay awake, I’m falling…
CHORUS:
Asleep in perfect blue buildings
Beside the green apple sea
Gonna get me a little oblivion, baby
F C Bb 1.| Dm 2.| F
Try to keep myself away from | me | (myself and) me
| |
It’s 4:30 A.M. on a Tuesday
It doesn’t get much worse than this
In beds in little rooms in buildings in the middle
of these lives which are completely meaningless
Help me stay awake, I’m falling…
(CHORUS)
I got bones beneath my skin, and mister…
There’s a skeleton in every man’s house
Beneath the dust and love and sweat that hangs on everybody
There’s a dead man trying to get out
Please help me stay awake, I’m falling…
(CHORUS)
