  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!

  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.

  

  

  *Arpeggio:

  

  D  pluck 4&1 together, then 1,2,3,1,2,3

  D/G  pluck 6&1 together, same pattern
