If I Could Give All My Love

-or-

Richard Manuel is Dead

Counting Crows

Standard Tuning

Note: () denotes a single note (i.e. not a whole chord)

Intro riff:

Verse 1:

Got a message in my head

that the papers had all come

Richard Manuel is dead

and the daylight's comin' on

I've been wandering through the dark

now I'm standing on the lawn

Chorus:

If I could give all my love to you

I could justify myself

but I'm just not coming through

You're a pill to ease the pain

of all the stupid things I do

(C#) Bm

I'm an anchor on the line

of a clock that tells the time

A G D (play first 1/2 of intro riff over A

G D)

that is running out on you

Verse 2:

It was cold when I awoke

and the day was halfway done

Nearly spring in San Francisco

and I cannot feel the sun

You were sleeping next to me

but I knew that you'd be gone

Repeat Chorus

Lead-in to solo:

Solo chords: (key of A, I think)

Verse 3:

Take some time before you go

To think of Mondays coming down

and the people that you knew

and the ones that aren't around

You've been fading day to day

I've been moving town to town

Repeat Chorus twice

(skip the intro riff between these repeats)

End with a variation on Riff 1 (it's a really easy variation)
