Greening of America

Counting Crows

Tom: C#


D                  C#          F#
     She's closing all   the shades
              D               C#      F#
she finds the daylight just a little frightning
              D          C#          F#
she pulls the pedals overhead each day
                      D           C#       F#
but she's opening her business is blooming nightly

                   C#     F#       G#   
And every time it does it gets me hazy
                 C#            F#       G#
the color of her head changing every day
                   C#          F#       G#   
a little breath of wind and I just go crazy
                 Ebm         C#       F#         
the greening of America's progressing smoothly
          C#
cuz she's choosing me

D               C#      F#
     It's later then I said
            D                  C#         F#
and all the world's a shade of black and purple
          D        C#      F#
everybody else has gone to bed
                      D            C#     F#
but when she makes me happy I just fly in circles

                   C#      F#      G#
And every time she does I just get teary
             C#            F#      G#
the color of head changing everyday
                 C#             F#       G#
a little puff of wind and she's always near me
                 Ebm          C#        F#
the greening of America is progressing nicely
         C#

G#  C#  F#  F#
G#  C#  F#  F#
G#  C#  F#  Ebm  C#  F# F#.

D              C#       F# 
   if there's another life, 
              D                C#     F#
and if get to chose I'd like to be a daisy
             D              C#     F#
I'll stay up waiting for my dusky wife
                D                 C#       F#
to open and get high with just my jasmine baby

                   C#      F#        G#
And every time she does it gets me crazy
                 C#            F#      G#
the color of her head changing every day
                   C#         F#        G#   
a little breath of wind and I just get crazy
                 Ebm          C#       F#
the greening of America's progressing nicely
       C#

    G#     C#        F#
she does I just get teary
                 G#            C#    F#
the color of her head changing every day
                   G#            C#     F#
a little breath of wind and shes always near me
                 Ebm         C#        F#
the greening of America's progressing smoothly
          C#                D  C#  F#
cuz she's choosing me
