"Round Here (Acoustic)" by Counting Crows (Cover)

NOTE: I've gotten several comments on my vocals being much worse than my guitar, and my guitar not being at it's peak. I am hoping to post a new version of this sometime soon with improved parts to it, but won't put it on here until I'm genuinely satisfied with the vocal patterns. Until then, please don't base my collective skill off this video. Thank you

___________________


I step out the front door like a ghost, into a fog
Where no one notices the contrast of white on white
And in between the moon and you
Would angels get a better view of the crumbling difference between wrong and right?
I walk in the air, between the rain, through myself, and back again
Where?
...I dunno
Maria says she's dyin', through the door I hear her cryin'
Why?
...I dunno

'Round here, we always stand up straight
'Round here, something radiates

Maria came from Nashville with a suitcase in her hand
She said she'd like to meet a boy who looks like Elvis
And she walks along the edge of where the ocean meets the land
Just like she's walkin' on a wire in the circus
She parks her car outside of my house and she takes her clothes off...
She says she's close to understanding Jesus
And she knows she's more than just a little misunderstood
She has trouble acting normal when she's nervous

'Round here, we're carving out our names
'Round here, we all look the same
'Round here, we talk just like lions, but we sacrifice like lambs
'Round here, she's slippin' through my hands...

Sleepin' children gotta run like the wind
Out of the lightning dream
Mama's little baby better get herself in
Out of the lightning....

She says, "It's only in my head"
And she says, "Shh! I know...it's only in my head"
There's a girl outside in the parking lot, she says
"Man, you should try to take a shot.
Can't you see my walls are crumbling?"
She looks up at the building, says she's thinking of jumping
She says she's tired of life, everybody's tired of something

'Round here, she's always on my mind
'Round here, hey man, we got lots of time
'Round here, we're never sent to bed early, yeah, and nobody makes us wait
'Round here, we stay up very, very, very, very late I...
I can't see nothin'! Nothin'....
'Round here
Would you catch me if I was fallin'?
Would you kiss me if I was leavin'?
Would you hold me? 'Cause I'm lonely without you....

I said I'm under the gun, 'round here
I'm innocent
I'm under the gun, 'round here
I can't see nothin'...
Nothin'...

'Round here

wow this caught me off guard considering how gay u seemed at the beginning....remarkable!!

[ripplesandreflection]

Thanx...I think?

XD

[GaaraXchik]

intro is kinda off, try playing it the way they do, it sounds decent on acoustic, and also, im not sure what chords your using, try c d Em and G

[ripplesandreflection]

i understand what you mean. the chords that i'm playing are basically plays on C D Em and G throughout. I just play the D chord, especially, very...uniquely is all

XD

Thanx for the constructive criticism though! very much appreciated =]

Good dam job but dont be unconfident in yourself dont care wat other people say.

[BCT3496]

Great job with the singing and playing! keep it up, man. :D

[Zandiniho]

4 months ago i knew fuck all. It is a C D Em G but you start with barre type hand positions and play your G with a thumb on the low E instead of the middle finger :) still great cover!

[Zandiniho]

The song goes C. D. Em. G. And you give your own take on it with different usage of chords than CC! and tbh I 'dig' this! great cover man! Duritz would be proud

[kefeinzil]

[pistoltoes]
