SONG TITLE: August & Everything After
BAND: Counting Crows
ALBUM: NA (Unreleased)
NOTE: This ultra-rare track by the Counting Crows seems to peak a lot
of interest. Play it at about the same tempo as Mr. Jones or 40 Years.
Chord progression is strummed and shown below. Begin arpeggiating at
first change to D and continue to the F#m with "I've said" then return
to normal strum for the remaining verse.
F#m
They're wakin' up Mama '
E A
cause everybody else has got out of bed
F#m A E
She makes a little action with her head.
D* E
Rolls over And she says she's gonna
A F#m
sleep for a couple of minutes more
D E
I've said "I'm sorry" to Maria for the
A
cold hear
F#m
I've said "I'm sorry" by now
E A
At once to Julian She says
F#m A E
"I've forgotten what I'm supposed to do
F#m E
And it slips my mind what I'm supposed to say
D* E
I'm getting older and older and older
A F#m
And always a little farther out of the way
D E
You look into her eyes and it's
A F#m**
more than you can hear
F#m A
In August and Everything After,
E A
you get a little nearer
...
I stumbled into Washington Square
just as the sun broke in
I walked across the lawn to the cathedral
and lay down in the shadow of St.Robinson
I'm just one of three late model
children waiting for the king
But there ain't no sign of
Elvis in San Fransisco It's just me, and
I'm playing this rock and roll thing
She wants to be just like me
I want every damn thing
I can see.
You look into her eyes and it's
more than you can hear
In August and Everything After
you get a little nearer
F#m D
One day you're Daddy's little angel,
F#m A E
Next day you're everything he wanted you to be
F#m D
They dress you up in white satin
F#m A E
And they give you your very own pair of wings
f#m E D E A
In August and Everything After, I'm after everything.
