From: ken@cloudbusting.apple.com (Ken McLeod)
(NB During the verses, the guitar plays the riff shown - the chords
marked are implied by the keyboards and bass. However, during the
chorus, the guitar plays the chords as shown.
Note also the funky "Sleeping children.." bit. On the album, there
is definitely a chord change implied from A to G (by the wah-wah
guitar and possibly the keyboards) but the main guitar and bass
play the same thing under both chords, which kind of confuses the
ear. You can approximate what's happening like this

C (riff) D
Step out the front door like a ghost
Em G/D
into the fog where no one notices the contrast of white on white.
C D
And in between the moon and you the angels get a better view
Em G/D
of the crumbling difference between wrong and right
C D
I walk in the air between the rain, through myself and back again
Em G/D
Where? I don't know
C D
Maria says she's dying. Through the door, I hear her crying
Em G/D
Why? I don't know
C D Em G/D
Round here we always stand up straight
C D Em G/D
Round here something radiates
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 more than just a little misunderstood
She has trouble acting normal when she's nervous
C D Em G/D
Round here we're carving out our names
C D Em G/D
Round here we all look the same
C D
Round here we talk just like lions
Em G/D
But we sacrifice like lambs
C D Em A D A
Round here she's slipping through my hands / / Oh...
G/A A G/A A
Sleeping children got to run like the wind Out of the lightning dream
G/A A C D
Mama's little baby better get herself in Out of the lightning
She says, "It's only in my head."
She says, "Shhh...I know it's only in my head."
But the girl on the 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 she says she's thinking of jumping
She says she's tired of life; she must be tired of something.
C D Em G/D
Round here she's always on my mind
C D Em G/D
Round here I got lots of time
C D
Round here we're never sent to bed early
Em G/D
Nobody makes us wait
C D Em G/D
Round here we stay up very very very very late
C D Em G/D
I can't see nothing, nothing around here
C D
You catch me if I'm falling, you catch me if I'm falling
Em G/D
Will you catch me 'cause I'm falling down round here
I said I'm under the gun round here
I'm innocent, I'm under the gun round here
I can't see nothing, nothing round here.

From: btobin@infinet.com (Bruce S. Tobin),
These chords were figured out by Matt Fleming.
Further corrections by Paul Hutchinson.
This was orginally posted with no capo. I have been informed that the
Crows play it with a capo on 2 and I found that it makes it a lot easier
to play. I have changed the file to be played with a capo on II.
Note the A chord in the verse. At times, if you sing it by yourself, it
will sound like it should be an Am, but I assure you that it should
definitely be an A. If you play it as Asus2, it might make things easier.
Intro:
Em D Em C
Em Bm
Start tearing the old man down
D A Em
Run past the heather and down to the old road
Bm C
Start turning the grain into the ground
Em
Roll a new leaf over
Bm D
In the middle of the night there's an old man
A Em
Treading around in the gathered rain
Bm D
Well mister if you want to walk on water
C G
Could you drop a line my way
Chorus:
D Em
Omaha
C
Somewhere in middle America
G D C
Get right to the heart of matters
G D
It's the heart that matters more
Em A C
I think you'd better turn your ticket in
G D/F# Em Em/D C G/B D/A
And get your money back at the door
Verse 2:
Start threading a needle
Brush past the shuttle that slides through the cold room
Start turning the wool across the wire
Roll the new life over
In the middle of the night there's an old man
Threading his toes through a bucket of rain
Hey mister you don't want to walk on water
You're only going to walk all over me
[Chorus]
[Bridge chords] x 4
Verse 3:
Start running the banner down
Drop past the color come up through the summer rain
Start turning the girl into the ground
Roll a new love over
In the middle of the day there's a young man
Rolling around in the earth and rain
Hey mister if you're going to walk on water, you know
You're only going to walk all over me

of them, and others don't. A general guide is, if the words stop on
the Bb chord, then stay on Bb, and don't play Am)

And ain't this position familiar, darling
Dm C Bb
Well, all monkeys do what they see

Where I got friends who'll care for me
You got an attitude of everything I ever wanted
I got an attitude of need
Help me stay awake, I'm falling...

Help me stay awake, I'm falling...

(verses Am 002210 - G 320003)
Am
My friend assures me, "It's all or nothing."
G
I am not worried, I am not overly concerned
Am
My friend implores me, "For one time only,
G
make an exception." I am not worried
Wrap her up in a package of lies
Send her off to a coconut island
I am not worried, I am not overly concerned
With the status of my emotions
"Oh," she says, you're changing
But we're always changing
It does not bother me to
(bridge Em 022000 - C 032010 - D x00323)
Em
Say this isn't love
C D Em
Because if you don't want to talk about it then it isn't love
C D
And I guess I'm going to have to live with that
Em C
But I'm sure there's something in a shade of grey
D
Or something in between
Em C D
And I can always change my name if that's what you mean

When kindness falls like rain it washes her away
And Anna begins to change her mind
"These seconds when I'm shaking leave me shuddering for days"
And I'm not ready for this sort of thing
(2nd Chorus)
This time when kindness falls like rain
It washes me away
And Anna begins to change my mind
And every time she sneezes I believe it's love
and Oh Lord, I'm not ready for this sort of thing
(Chorus at end)
She's talking in her sleep
It's keeping me awake
And Anna begins to toss and turn
And every word is nonsense but I understand and
Oh lord I'm not ready for this sort of thing
Her kindness bangs a gong
It's moving me along
And Anna begins to fade away
It's chasing me away it disappears and
Oh lord, I'm not ready for this sort of thing
[2nd verse]
My friend assures me "It's all or nothing"
But I am not really worried I am not overly concerned
You try to tell yourself the things you try to tell yourself to make yourself
forget, to make yourself forget, I am not worried
"If it's love," she said, "then we're gonna have to think about the
consequences."
She can't stop shaking
I can't stop touching her and.... [to 2nd chorus]

But I'm not gonna break
And I'm not going to worry about it anymore
I'm not going to bend, and I'm not going to break and I'm

It seems like I should say, 'As long as this is love...'
But it's not all that easy so maybe I should
Snap her up in a butterfly net
Pin her down in a photograph album
I am not worried - I've done this sort of thing before
[Bridge]
But then I start to think about the consequences
Because I don't get no sleep in a quiet room and..
[Chorus]
This time when kindness falls like rain it washes me away

Note: the timing of the words to the chord changes is
approximate, because the singer uses very elastic phrasing.

[Ken sent me an article that was posted a while back: - sv]
Just to expand a little further, while playing the 'D' chord during the
verses, it sounds like he may be occasionally pulling off the 1st string
(2nd fret), then hammering on again for the next strum.
Here's an attempt to tab the the way I'm currently playing it, with bass
notes added for the piano chord part (sounds ok to my ears, although I
haven't worked it out to see if it's correct.) Your mileage may vary.
Feel free to jump in and correct me, show me a different way, etc.

Take the way home that leads back
to Sullivan Street ...
In the change from D to D4, your index finger moves from the G string
down to the A string, then back. Of course, this whole sequence isn't
strictly repeated over and over... sometimes there are the little
piano runs in between, and so on.
This sounds to me more like the following:
G A Em
I'm almost drowning in her sea
Em G D D4
She's almost fallen to her knees

"How do you do?"
Fmaj7 C/G Fsus2 Em7
She said, "Hey, how do you do?"
verse 2:
Dm7
She buys a ticket cause it's cold where she comes from,

Hold on to me, darling. I've got nowhere else to go.

Raining in Baltimore

Dm Bb C F
This circus is falling down on its knees
Dm Bb C
The big top is crumbling down
Dm Bb C F
It's raining in Baltimore fifty miles east
Dm Bb C
Where you should be, no one's around
Bb F
I need a phone call
Bb F
I need a raincoat
Bb F
I need a big love
Bb F
I need a phone call
These train conversations are passing me by
And I don't have nothing to say
You get what you pay for
But I just had no intention of living this way
I need a phone call
I need a plane ride
I need a sunburn
I need a raincoat
C Bb
And I get no answers
C Bb
And I don't get no change
C Bb F
It's raining in Baltimore, baby
Bb F C
But everything else is the same
There's things I remember and things I forget
I miss you, I guess that I should
Three thousand five hundred miles away
But what would you change if you could?
I need a phone call; Maybe I should buy a new car;
I can always hear a freight train; If I listen real hard
And I wish it was a small world
Because I'm lonely for the big towns
I'd like to hear a little guitar
I think it's time to put the top down
I need a phone call
I need a raincoat
I really need a raincoat
I really, really need a raincoat
I really, really, really need a raincoat
I really need a raincoat

This is played in D with a capo at the 4th fret. The As can be exchanged
for Asus2s whenever you feel like it.

Intro: |D |Dsus2 |G | Gmaj7| x2
A
Blue morning Blue morning
G
Wrapped in strands of fist and bone
A
Curiosity, Kitten,
G
Doesn't have to mean you're on your own
A
You can look outside your window
G
He doesn't have to know
A
We can talk awhile, baby
G
We can take it nice and slow
D Dsus2 G Gmaj7
All your life is such a shame, shame, shame
D Dsus2 G Gmaj7
All your love is just a dream, dream, dream
Are you happy when you're sleeping?
Does he keep you safe and warm?
Does he tell you when you're sorry?
Does he tell you when you're wrong?
I've been watching you for hours
It's been years since we were born
We were perfect when we started
I've been wondering where we've gone
All your life is such a shame
All your love is just a dream
I dreamt I saw you walking up a hillside in the snow
Casting shadows on the winter sky as you stood there counting crows
A G/B
One for sorrow Two for joy, Three for girls and four for boys
A/C# G/D
Five for silver Six for gold and Seven for a secret never to be told
There's a bird that nests inside you
Sleeping underneath your skin
When you open up your wings to speak
I wish you'd let me in
All your life is such a shame
All your love is just a dream
Open up your eyes
You can see the flames of your wasted life
You should be ashamed
You don't want to waste your life
D
I walk along these hillsides In the summer 'neath the sunshine
G
I am feathered by the moonlight falling down on me
D G
Change, change, change
NB This figure appears and is played constantly from
'I walk these hillsides' onwards.

Verse, Guitar 1 tacet:
G
Waiting for the moon to come and light me up inside

And I am waiting for the telephone to tell me I'm alive
Well I heard you let somebody get their fingers into you
It's getting cold in California
I guess I'll be leaving soon
Chorus:
D
Daylight fading
Em7 C
Come and waste another year
Em7 C G D
All the anger and the eloquence are bleeding into fear
D Em7 C
Moonlight creeping around the corners of our lawn
Em Asus2 C
When we see the early signs that daylight's fading
D
We leave just before it's gone

The guitars both repeat their parts, and the string section
adds these two measures over the E5 chord
|--------------------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------------------|

The second time, guitar 2 plays this instead of the last measure,
and continues into the verse:

Verse: (chords played by organ)
D A E
She comes to me at night when I'm sleeping
She comes to me when I'm alone
She comes to me She holds my head when I'm crying
She comes to me She shuts my eyes
She brings me home
Chorus:
Guitar 1 plays the same E5 A progression it did in the intro;
The string section plays the same thing it did in the intro;
Guitar 2 plays the same part it played in the intro, except that it
omits that first chord that swells up over the E5 chord, and it
replaces the last measure with:
|--4b(5)r4b(5)r4b(5)r4--|
|-----------------------|
|-----------------------|
|-----------------------|

|-----------------------|
E5 A E5
But I'm not sleeping anymore... anymore
Verse:
She tells me when you look at me She tells me when you're lying
She tells me when you talk about me She lays on the floor
She tells me when you're whispering She lies beside me naked
She tells me when you laugh at me and she locks all the doors
* (w/ Fill 1, played by gtr. 2, first time only)
But I'm not sleeping anymore

Instead of the last measure of the repeat of the chorus, the song
moves into the bridge:
E5 E5maj7

|--------------------------|--------------------------|
|--9--9--9--9--9--9--9--9--|--8--8--8--8--8--8--8--8--| Both guitars

|--7--7--7--7--7--7--7--7--|--2--2------|
|--------------------------|------------|
|--------------------------|------------|
The string section plays the high note of the first three chords,
and then plays a little G#-A trill over the A chord
E5 E5maj7
1-2-3-4-5-6-7 a.m.
All alone again
D A
But I've been through all this shit before
Spend my nights in self-defense
Cry about my innocence
But I ain't all that innocent anymore
Interlude:
After the third measure of the repeat, the song changes to this:
The timing is chaotic, to say the least, so listen carefully for
exactly when these notes are sounded. Guitar 2 plays the part tabbed
out, and guitar 1 just plays the chords indicated.
The strings play an E5 chord, just a high E and B note for the
next 5 measures.

goodnight elisabeth
Verse:
we couldn't all be cowboys
so some of us are clowns
and some of us are dancers no the midway

i hope that everybody can find a little flame

then i just light myself on fire
and i walk out on the wire once again
and i say
goodnight elisabeth

I gotta get out on my own
I gotta get up from this waiting at home
I gotta get out of this sunlight
It's melting my bones
I gotta get up from this slumber and get myself home
All these wasted dreams
waiting for the sun to open up my heart to anyone
bring me some rain
because i'm dying and i can't get this damn thing closed again
I gotta get out on my own
I gotta get up from this waiting at home
I gotta get out of this sunlight
It's melting my bones
I gotta get up from this slumber and get myself home

Miller's angels in black and white

Welcome everyone in

Children dreaming of wrong or right
Gm F Eb
Wrapped in grace and in sin
Chorus:

They come out of the blue sky
Bb F Eb
They come out of the blue
Bb F Eb
They come out of the blue sky
Eb F
But you never know where they're gonna go
Eb F Gm
Hey romeo
Miller's fingers are traveling up the length of her thigh
But Miller's mind is still wandering
Staring up at the sky
[Chorus]
Break:
Gm F
Don't don't
Eb
Don't don't don't don't don't come around here
Miller's angels are hovering in between
The earth and the sun
In the shadow of God's unwavering love
I am a fortunate son
[Chorus]
Bb Eb
Can't you here me
Cause I'm screaming
Did not go outside yesterday
Don't wake me please don't wake me
Cause I was dreaming
And I might just stay inside again today
I don't go out much these days
I guess sonetimes I stay inside all day
won't you leave me leave me leave me alone [x4]
won't you leave me alone

Your mother recognizes all your desperate displays

'til they see themselves in telescopes
Do you see yourself in me?
We're such crazy babies, little monkey
We're so fucked up, you and me
So why'd you come home to this faithless town
Where we make a lifetime commitment
to recovering the satellites
and all anybody really wants to know is...
when are you gonna come down
Bridge: Guitars 1&2 continue to play A D
She sees shooting stars and comet tails
She's got heaven in her eyes
She says I don't need to be an angel
But I'm nothing if I'm not this high
We only stay in orbit
For a moment of time
And then you're everybody's satellite
I wish that you were mine (Gtr. 2 only plays last half of fill 2)
So why'd you come home to this angel's town
Well it's a lifetime's decision
Recovering the satellites
and all anybody really knows for sure is...
that you're gonna come down

During the choruses, guitar 1 plays the above part, with minor
variation.
Guitar 2 roughly doubles guitar 1's part during the first chorus.
Verse: (Guitar 2 tacet)
Well I'm all messed
That's nothing new
Hey monkey, when you open up your blue eyes
I don't know if I'm wide awake or dreaming
But all I ever need is everything
* (guitar 2 plays fill 1)
Hey monkey, where you been?
* (w/ fill 2)
This lonely spiral I've been in
* (w/ fill 3)
Hey monkey, when can we begin?
Hey monkey, where you been?

Mercury
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Transcribed by Michael A. Mazur (mmazur@wpi.edu)
Guitar 1 is an acoustic, tuned to open Eb (Eb Bb Eb G Bb Eb)
Guitar 2 is a mandolin, tuned down 1/2 step (Gb Db Ab Eb)
Note: Watch the time signature here. The main riff is in 14/8, which
I think of as a measure of 6 followed by a measure of 8 (as
I indicate below). But, the rest of the song is in 8/8, and the
shifts from 14/8 to 8/8 and back again are subtle.
Intro and main riff:
| |-----0-----------|----0--------------|
| |--------0--2/3\2-|-------0-----0-----|
|14|-----------2/3\2-|-0--------------0--| Guitar 1 (all of guitar 1
| 8|-----------2/3\2-|-0-----------------| is played with a slide)
| |-----------2/3\2-|-0-----------------|
| |--0--------------|-0--------0--------|
(6/8) (8/8)
Verse: (guitar 1 plays main riff over Eb)
| |/5--------5--------|
| |/5--5-----5--------|
|8|/5-----5--5--5-----| Guitar 1 plays this for the A chord
|8|/5--------5-----5--| (note the change to 8/8)
| |/5--------5--------|
| |/5--------5--------|
Eb
She is trapped inside a month of grey
And they take a little every day
A
She is a victim of her own responses
Eb
Shackled to a heart that wants to settle
And the runs away
Chorus:
Bb Ab
| |/7--------7--------|/5--------5--------|
| |/7--7-----7--------|/5--5-----5--------|
|8|/7-----7--7--7-----|/5-----5--5--5-----| Guitar 1
|8|/7--------7-----7--|/5--------5-----5--| (again in 8/8)
| |/7--------7--------|/5--------5--------|
| |/7--------7--------|/5--------5--------|
Bb Ab
It's a sin to be fading endlessly
Eb (guitar 1 plays main riff)
Yeah, but she's alright with me
She is leaving on a walkaway
She is leaving me in disarray
In the absence of a place to be
She stands there looking back at me
Hesitates, and then turns away
She'll change so suddenly
She's just like mercury
Yeah, but she's alright with me
Bridge:
|/12--|
|/12--|
|/12--| Guitar 1 plays this at the end of the chorus, and then
|/12--| plays the main riff over the bridge

|--7--7--7--7--9--9b(10)r9--9--| Guitar 2 (trem. picked)
|------------------------------|

(Guitar 1 plays last 8/14 of main riff once)
Keep some sorrow in your
hearts and minds
For the things that die before their time
For the restlessly abandoned homes
The tired and weary rambler's bones
And stay beside me where I lie
She's entwined in me
Crazy as can be
Yeah, but she's alright with me

The smell of hospitals in winter (w/ fill 1, then fill 2 here)
And the feeling that it's all a lot of oysters, but no pearls *
All at once you look across a crowded room
To see the way that light attaches to a girl *(and fill 3 here)
And it's one more day up in the canyons
And it's one more night in Hollywood
If you think you might come to California... I think you should

Drove up to Hillside Manor sometime after two a.m.
And talked a little while about the year
I guess the winter makes you laugh a little slower,
Makes you talk a little lower about the things you could not
show her
And it's been a long December and there's reason to believe
Maybe this year will be better than the last *(fill 2)
I can't remember all the times I tried to tell myself
To hold on to these moments as they pass *(fill 4)
And it's one more day up in the canyon *(fill 5, played w/ a slide)
And it's one more night in Hollywood
It's been so long since I've seen the ocean... I guess I should
