Sullivan Street tab - counting crows

From: Preserved Moose 

Sullivan Street
Recorded by Counting Crows
From the Album "August and Everything After"

Figured out by jfafreak@wam.umd.edu

These are the two main chords that make up the song
(actually, the main riff)

E--2--2--2-------2-------|
B--3--3--3-------3-------|
G--2--2--2-------0-------|
D--0-----0-------0-------|
A--------0---0---x-------|
E----------------3-------|

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

G          A               Em               G              D
I'm almost drowning in her sea, shes nearly crawlin on her knees


Fpr the last chorus, its

G          A               Em                A              Em
I'm almost drowning in her sea, she's nearly crawlin on her knees,

            G            D
It's almost everything I need


Essentailly for everything not Tabbed out, play the main riff.
Good luck!
John

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

D                      D/G                D                D/G   
  Took the way home    that leads back to Sullivan Street
D                      D/G                  D        D/G 
  Across the water     and home through the town
D                      D/G                 D           D/G
  Past the shadows     that fall down wherever we meet
D                      D/G                 D    D/G
  Pretty soon now,     I won't come around      //// (strong strum)

                  A               Em
      I'm almost drowning in her sea
                    G             D
      She's nearly fallen to her knees
      D            D/G                        D      D/G
      Took the way home .....(Ba, Ba, Baaaa)

D                      D/G                D                D/G
  Took the way home    that leads back to Sullivan Street
D                      D/G              D           D/G
  Where all the bodies   hang on the air
D                      D/G                   D     D/G
  If she remembers   she hides it whenever we meet
D                      D/G           D       D/G
  Either way now      I don't really care
                           
'Cause I'm gone from there  
      
                 A                    Em            
      I'm almost drowning in her sea
                      G               D    (arpeggio*)    
      she's nearly crawling on her knees

      D/G     D      D/G
       
      D                 D/G
      She's down on her knees
      D                 D/G
      She's down on her knees

(strum)

D                  D/G                  D             D/G
  Took the way home  that leads back to Sullivan Street 
              D                   D/G           D    D/G
   Where I'm just another rider   burned to the ground
      
Come tumbling down

                A               Em
     I'm almost drowning in his sea
                      G                Em
     She's near me,  crawling on her knees
                    G             D      D/G    D   D/G
     It's almost  everything I need.

                 D               D/G
I'm down on my knees
                 D               D/G
I'm down on my knees

I'm down on....
                 D    D/G
    down on my knees.
                    D
   I'm down on my knees.

Sullivan Street (Counting Crows cover by Jeremy Styron)
Will re-record with better mic soon. Here, I'm using an uncool headset mic. Here's the lyrics: *** Take the way home that leads back to Sullivan Street Cross the water and home through the town Past the shadows that fall down wherever we meet Pretty soon now I won't come around I'm almost drowning in her sea She's nearly fallen to her knees Take the way home Take the way home that leads back to Sullivan Street Where all the bodies hang on the air If she remembers, she hides it whenever we meet Either way now, I don't really care Cause I'm gone from there I'm almost drowning in her sea She's nearly crawling on her knees She's down on her knees Take the way home that leads back to Sullivan Street Where I'm just another rider burned to the ground Come tumbling down I'm almost drowning in her sea She's nearly crawling on her knees It's almost everything I need I'm down on my knees I'm down on my knees
