I have compiled all of the circulating files from the net into this one
overview file. If you have anything to add, mail it to me and I'll update
it. Original credit is left intact, much thanks to Ken McLeod who did
many of them and Paul Hutchinson for his trained ear and skillfull
corrections. If I have forgotton to name anyone that credit is due to,
please flame me. ;-)

Further Note - Steve's a bit busy at the moment, so I've finished and
tidied up the file myself. If anyone has any further corrections, I'll
accept them if necessary. Full credit to Steve and Ken who did most of
the work on this.

-- ROUND HERE --  Counting Crows

(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 augmentedA to G+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

  A augmentedA              G/AG/A

-- OMAHA --  Counting Crows
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 augmentedA 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.

(NB You will notice that some lines in some verses have an A minorAm at the end
  of them, and others don't. A augmentedA general guide is, if the words stop on
  the Bb majorBb chord, then stay on Bb, and don't play A minorAm)

This appears in the second verse - the first half of the first verse has
no guitar (the bass carries the accompaniment) and for the second half of
it, the guitar plays only the first 2 notes over the Ams2 chords. Repeat

Write me if you use this.

Note: the timing of the words to the chord changes is approximate,
because the singer uses very elastic phrasing.This is how I do it.

[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.

V = pluck bass notes together
/ = strum top three strings, alternating up & down strums

    Take the way home   that leads back

    to Sullivan Street  ...

In the change from D MajorD to D4, your index finger moves from the G+G string
down to the A augmentedA 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.

-- GHOST TRAIN --  Counting Crows

NB The verses of this are a bit harmonically strange in that, like Round
Here and Time and Time Again, the guitar is not playing chords during
the verses, and so the bass carries the song rather a lot. However, I
get the impression that the verses are based on DmDm the whole way
through, with the bass guitar playing Ds and Fs (and a G+G just before
the first verse). This should make the song horribly boring for you if
you're trying to play it by yourself without a bass guitarist, but
them's the breaks.
On the album, the guitar and some other strange instrument are messing
about with the following notes during the verses - listen to the tape
to get a better idea:
