Counting Crows

Tabbed by Kalvin Clauer

Standard tuning

Capo 2

A few tweeks to the previous tab: mostly the change from D to D with a low add 6 note

the 2nd fret on the a string to get this all important B note into the chord). This chord

the Bm. Also the Am sounds a bit off and I find that Am7 sounds better. I am working on

out the fingerpicking style and hope to put out an updated version before long.

out SixStringsStrumming on youtube for a possible video.

Intro:

I sold my piano

It couldn’t come with me

I locked up my bedroom

and I walked out into the air

When nothing I needed

is left there behind me

I walk out through the shadows

Of Washington Square

Now I wander the highway from Dublin to Berkeley

and I heard the songbirds of Valley Paurine

I loved like a fountain

and it left me with nothing

just the memories of walking through Washington Square

Now I live in the shadows

where light is electric

and time is a number

that rests on a wall

Nobody knows me

my friends and my family

are as far from this city

as Washington Square

Harmonica solo:

So cover this warm night

in a blanket of starlight

And I'll follow this freeway

out into the air

in case you should wonder

and wanted to find me

I’m traveling homeward to Washington Square

D C(hold) D

I’m traveling homeward to Washington Square
