Amy Hit the Atmosphere Counting Crows *** Capo on 1 *** The previous version was close, but some of the chords sounded weird and he missed a couple of key spots. I think I've figure them out, and tranposed this into a set of chords that work really nice -- many pair above, below each other on same frets and make intuitive slides in the progression. These chords appear to have F basses often, example B/F anc C/F. Well, this is much easier with capo as A/E and B/E (just leave top E open). (Updated: I corrected the intro and outro, which are not the same as the verse chords as suggested. I also realized the timing was off, and that is now reflected correctly.) Great song, one of my CC favorites. Take it nice and mellow. Chords: (Capo on 1 brings chords to key of F) E - 022100 A - x02220 (often A/E, 002220) F#m - 244222 B - x24442 C#m - x46654 G#m - 466444 > = slide up < = slide down ~ = ring (and/or rake) Section detail -------------- Intro: 1 . 2 . 3 . 4 . |1 . 2 . 3 . 4 . | E (022100@1) A (x02220@1) |B* A(E)(A)| (x02220@1)(*B/E, 024442) / /// / /// / /// / / / E (022100@1) A (x02220@1) |B* A(E)(A)| (x02220@1)(*E/B, x22100, but Bis (x2444x@1)fine) / /// / /// / /// / / / (note: second line's B is closer to an E.
