Omaha -- Counting Crows

CAPO ON 2!!!

Hopefully this is the most complete (with Bridge) and easiest version (with capo) of this
song to play. 

Intro:
|Em        |D        |Em       |C         |
 /          /         /         // /// ///  

Verse 1:
Em (022000@1)                Bm (x24432@1)              |
  Start tearing the old man down, run
D (xx0232@1)                  A (x02220@1)                 | 
past the heather and down to the old road.
Em (022000@1)                Bm (x24432@1)                 |
  Start turning the grain into the ground.
C (x32010@1)                       |                     
  Roll a new leaf over...

Em (022000@1)       Bm (x24432@1)                           D (xx0232@1)   In the middle of the night there's an old man
          A (x02220@1)                         
treading around in the gathered rain.
Em (022000@1)                           Bm (x24432@1)          
    Well mister if you want to walk on water,
C (x32010@1)                           G* (*start chorus) 
    could you drop a line my way?

Chorus: 
G (320003@1)          D (xx0232@1)           |
       O-m-a-ha!     (Ahh..)
Em (022000@1)         C (x32010@1)           | 
Somewhere in middle America.
G (320003@1)              D (xx0232@1)             |  
Get right to the heart of matters...
C (x32010@1)                          |         
  It's the heart that matters 
G (320003@1)          D (xx0232@1)               |
more!      I think you'd better
Em (022000@1)             A (x02220@1)          |
turn your ticket in...(i-i-in)
C (x32010@1)                             |
  and get your money back at the 
G*   (*start bridge)
door.

For the bridge walking notes, just hit the 2 strings listed, one strum per beat in song
(though I like using two strums for more flair), except for final D/A of each pass which
gets some quick up/down stums during beats 3 and 4. For an even easier tip, leave your pinky
and ring fingers fretting the initial G and just cycle through the brackets parts of the
chords until you get to the final D (D/A). As long as you hit the bass note (first one
listed), it sounds good enough. Trust me, it will be your favorite part of the song to play.

Additionally, in the bridges, I'm not sure if I remembered the words ("nununa's")
exactly right, but it should be close enough to get the idea.
