(Darryl Kight (CH)) Subject: TAB: "Round Here" - Counting Crows Here is what I've come up with for "Round Here" by Counting Crows. I think it is right, but after downloading Mr. Jones form nevada and seeing what I had left out, I'm not so sure, but here it is anyway for your approval and revision: E|--------------------------| A|--------------------------| D|--------------------------| G|--------------------------| B|-3-------3--------3-------| E|---5--3----5--3-----3-----| repeat 4x for intro and throughout verses Verse: Step out the front door like a ghost into the fog where no one notices the contrast of white on white. And in between the moon and you the angels get a better view of the crumbling difference between wrong and right. I walk in the air between the rain through myself and back again Where? I don't know Maria says she's dying through the door I hear her crying Why? I don't know Chorus: C D Em G Round here we always stand up straight C D Em G Round here something radiates Verse: Maria came from Nashville with a suitcase in her hand she said she'd like to meet a boy who looks like Elvis she walks along the edge of where the ocean meets the land just like she's walking on a wire in the circus she parks her car outside of my house takes her clothes off says she's close to understanding Jesus she knows she's just a little misunderstood she has trouble acting normal when she's nervous Chorus: C D Em G Round here we're carving out our names C D Em G Round here we all look the same C D Round here we talk just like lions Em G But we sacrifice like lambs C D Em G Round here she's slipping through my hands Bridge: (Please fill in the blanks) Sleeping children got to run like the wind out of the lightning dream Mama's little baby better get herself in out of the lightning Verse: She says It's only in my head She says Shhh I know it's only in my head But the girl in car in the parking lot says "Man you should try to take a shot can't you see my walls are crumbling?" Then she looks up at the building and says she's thinking of jumping She says she's tired of life she must be tired of something Chorus: C D Em G Round here she's always on my mind C D Em G Round here hey man got lots of time C D Round here we're never sent to bed early Em G And nobody makes us wait C D Em G Round here we stay up very, very, very, very late Date: Sat, 29 Mar 1997 11:50:59 -0500 (EST) From: MrJones152@aol.com Subject: TAB: Round Here by Counting Crows Words and music by: Adamd Duritz, David Bryson, Matt Malley, Steve Bowman, Charlie Gillingham, Chris Roldan, Dan Jewett & Dave Janusco.
