Sullivan Street Cifras

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.
 
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 arpeggiate them.
 
The verse is just a repetition on those chords for 8 bars I think.
 
 
[Intro]
 
D   Gmaj7   D   Gmaj7   D   Gmaj7   D   Gmaj7
 
 
[Verse]
 
D                      Gmaj7              D                Gmaj7
  Took the way home    that leads back to Sullivan Street
D                      Gmaj7                D      Gmaj7
  Across the water     and home through the town
D                      Gmaj7               D           Gmaj7
  Past the shadows     that fall down wherever we meet
D                      Gmaj7               D    Gmaj7
  Pretty soon now,     I won't come around      //// (strong strum)
 
 
[Chorus]
 
      G           A               Em
      I'm almost drowning in her sea
                    G             D
      She's nearly fallen to her knees
      D            Gmaj7                     D    Gmaj7
      Took the way home .....(Ba, Ba, Baaaa)
 
 
[Verse]
 
D                      Gmaj7              D                Gmaj7
  Took the way home    that leads back to Sullivan Street
D                      Gmaj7            D     Gmaj7
  Where all the bodies   hang on the air
D                      Gmaj7                 D     Gmaj7
  If she remembers   she hides it whenever we meet
D                      Gmaj7         D       Gmaj7
  Either way now      I don't really care
 
'Cause I'm gone from there
 
 
[Chorus]
 
      G           A               Em
      I'm almost drowning in her sea
                     G               D    (arpeggio*)
      She's nearly crawling on her knees
 
      Gmaj7    D    Gmaj7
 
                         D      Gmaj7
      She's down on her knees
                         D      Gmaj7
      She's down on her knees
 
(strum)
 
D                  Gmaj7                D               Gmaj7
  Took the way home  that leads back to Sullivan Street
              D                   Gmaj7         D      Gmaj7
   Where I'm just another rider   burned to the ground
 
Come tumbling down
 
 
[Chorus]
 
     G           A               Em
     I'm almost drowning in her sea
                     A                Em
     She's near me, crawling on her knees
                 G             D     Gmaj7    D    Gmaj7
     It's almost everything I need.
 
 
[Outro]
 
                 D     Gmaj7
I'm down on my knees
                 D     Gmaj7
I'm down on my knees
 
I'm down on....
                 D    Gmaj7
    down on my knees.
                    D
   I'm down on my knees.
