Washington Square
Counting Crows
Tabbed by Kalvin Clauer
Standard tuning
Capo 2

A few tweeks to the previous tab: mostly the change from D to D with a low add 6 note
the 2nd fret on the a string to get this all important B note into the chord). This chord
the Bm. Also the Am sounds a bit off and I find that Am7 sounds better. I am working on
out the fingerpicking style and hope to put out an updated version before long.

Intro:

D – Dadd6- Am7 - G
D - C - G - D

D Dadd6
I sold my piano
Am7 G
It couldn’t come with me
D Dadd6
I locked up my bedroom
C G
and I walked out into the air
D Dadd6
When nothing I needed
Am7 G
is left there behind me
D C
I walk out through the shadows
G D
Of Washington Square

D Dadd6 Am7 G
Now I wander the highway from Dublin to Berkeley
D Dadd6 C G
and I heard the songbirds of Valley Paurine
D Dadd6
I loved like a fountain
Am7 G
and it left me with nothing
D C G D
just the memories of walking through Washington Square

D Dadd6
Now I live in the shadows
Am7 G
where light is electric
D Dadd6
and time is a number
C G
that rests on a wall
D Dadd6
Nobody knows me
Am7 G
my friends and my family
D C
are as far from this city
G D
as Washington Square

D Dadd6
So cover this warm night
Am7 G
in a blanket of starlight
D Dadd6
And I'll follow this freeway
C G
out into the air
D Dadd6
in case you should wonder
Am7 G
and wanted to find me
D C G D
I’m traveling homeward to Washington Square
D C(hold) D
I’m traveling homeward to Washington Square
