Counting Crows – Tall Grass (Guitar)

Asus4 A
"Come outside, " she said to me

Asus4 A
As if I knew just what she'd say

Asus4 A
"Come outside, we'll watch tomorrow

G
Pull the curtain on today"

A5
"Come outside into the tall grass

Asus4 A
And the old corn and the shit

Asus4 A
Come outside, oh child Into the wild

G
and weep for it"

Bb                  C                  D
And all along I know I don't know the why

Asus4 A
And it takes me through the meadows

Asus4 A
And I have got a rifle on my arm

Asus4 A
And the rabbit won't stop shaking but the

G
life is gone

Asus4 A
And there is blood upon the clover

Asus4 A
Oh god, his eyes are open wide

Asus4 A
Staring up at me and infinity

G
And the shrinking English sky

Bb                      C                      D
And all along I tell myself I don't know thе why

Bb
And as the idea ossifies

C                       A
I can't bеlieve it's mine

Dm
I make a change

C
He is wordless and silent

            Gm
And he says, "Just close my eyes"

        Dm
I have one eye open to the rain

C
And one pressed to the ground again

Gm
And I don't know why

Bb
And I don't know why

F
And I don't know why

C       Gm
No, they don't know why

        Bb
No, they don't know why

                F                       C
No, they don't know, don't know, don't know, don't know, know

        Gm
Oh, she takes a train to Paris

Bb
For a weekend with a friend

                F
They take you places, trains and summers

        C
At 200 miles an hour

                Gm
That you've never been

Bb
Did I ever say

F
The way your breath

C
Takes mine away?

Gm
As I stare out at the grassland

        Bb
Past the living and the dead

        F
Matter forming and decaying

        C
A perpetual uprising

        Gm
Let there be a revolution

        Bb
And a light to lead us on

        F
Just a ball of souls revolving

        C
Spinning circles 'round the sun

        Gm
For the infinite and ageless

        Bb
For the meaningless and painless

        F
For the times we shook like rabbits,

C
felt like children made us ask this

Gm
Can you see me?

Bb
Can you see me?

F
Oh, can you see me?

C
Can you see me?

Gm
Hey, can you see me?

Bb
For I am changing

F                                         C
But all the same things just come back to haunt me

Gm                                       Bb
There are trains that can take a girl to Paris

F                                     C
There are planes that could bring you home

Gm                                         Bb
There are some of us get broken when we're children

F                                    C
And you never get it back once that is gone

Gm
And I don't know why

Bb
No, I don't know why

F
No, I don't know why

C
No, I don't know why
