Counting Crows
Recovering the Satellites
1996

OK, the famed Wallflowers/Counting Crows show is less than 24 hours old
and I'm figuring out my second Crows song.  Here's something that may be
their last single from the album, but I'm not sure.  Charles Gillingham
did an incredible job on harmonica for this song live.  Hope you like it!

For the verses, just play the intro tab ad-libbed
when you see D..., and otherwise strum chords.

D...
She is trapped inside a month of grey
And they take a little every day
         G
She is a victim of her own responses
                                  D...
Shackled to a heart that wants to settle
And then runs away
       A                G
It's a sin to be fading endlessly
                 D...
Yeah but she's alright with me


She is leaving on a walkaway
She is leaving me in disarray
In the absence of a place to be
She stands there looking back at me
Hesitates and then turns away
She'll change so suddenly she's just like mercury
Yeah but she's alright with me


Keep some sorrow in your hearts and minds
For the things that die before their time
For the restlessly abandoned homes
The tired and weary rambler's bones
And stay beside me where I lie
She's entwined in me crazy as can be
Yeah but she's alright with me

        G
She's alright
        D...
She's alright with me
She's alright with me
She's alright with me
She's alright with me
