N.B.: listen carefully to the background voice, this is Adam Duritz's amazing voice (if you don't know the Counting Crows, go buy their 2 CDs right now!)
Note: tune all strings 1 step down. () means you can choose to play the chord or ---- not.
Intro: -----
G D Am C (x2)
Verse #1: --------
G D Sirens ring, the shots ring out
Am C A stranger cries, screams out loud
G D I had my world strapped against my back
Am C (D) I held my hands, never knew how to act
Chorus: ------
G And the same black line that was drawn on you
D Was drawn on me
Am And now it's drawn me in
C (D) 6th Avenue heartache
Verse #2: --------
Below me was a homeless man I'm singing songs I knew complete On the steps alone, his guitar in hand It's fifty years, stood where he stands
(Chorus)
Verse #3: --------
Now walkin' home on those streets The river winds move my feet Subway steam, like silhouettes in dreams They stood by me, just like moonbeams
(instrumental part: play same chords)
Verse #4: --------
Look out the window, down upon that street And gone like a midnight was that man But I see his 6 strings laid against that wall And all his things, they all look so small I got my fingers crossed on a shooting star Just like me, just moved on
