Counting Crows - Omaha
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.
Intro:
Em D Em C
Em Bm
Start tearing the old man down
D A Em
Run past the heather and down to the old road
Bm C
Start turning the grain into the ground

Roll a new leaf over
Bm D
In the middle of the night there's an old man
A Em
Treading around in the gathered rain

Well mister if you want to walk on water

Could you drop a line my way
Chorus:

Omaha

Somewhere in middle America
G D C
Get right to the heart of matters
G D
It's the heart that matters more
Em A C
I think you'd better turn your ticket in
G D/F# Em Em/D C G/B D/A
And get your money back at the door
Verse 2:
Start threading a needle
Brush past the shuttle that slides through the cold room
Start turning the wool across the wire
Roll the new life over
In the middle of the night there's an old man
Threading his toes through a bucket of rain
Hey mister you don't want to walk on water
You're only going to walk all over me
[Chorus]
[Bridge chords] x 4
Verse 3:
Start running the banner down
Drop past the color come up through the summer rain
Start turning the girl into the ground
Roll a new love over
In the middle of the day there's a young man
Rolling around in the earth and rain
Hey mister if you're going to walk on water, you know
You're only going to walk all over me
[Chorus] x 2
[Bridge chords] x 2
