Here is what I've come up with for "Round Here" by Counting Crows. I think it is right, but after downloading Mr. Jones form nevada and seeing what I had left out, I'm not so sure, but here it is anyway for your approval and revision:
Step out the front door like a ghost into the fog where no one notices the contrast of white on white. And in between the moon and you the 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 don't know Maria says she's dying through the door I hear her crying Why? I don't know
Chorus:
Round here we always stand up straight
Round here something radiates
Verse:
Maria came from Nashville with a suitcase in her hand she said she'd like to meet a boy who looks like Elvis she walks along the edge of where the ocean meets the land just like she's walking on a wire in the circus she parks her car outside of my house takes her clothes off says she's close to understanding Jesus she knows she's just a little misunderstood she has trouble acting normal when she's nervous
Chorus:
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 slipping through my hands
Bridge: (Please fill in the blanks)
Sleeping children got to run like the wind
out of the lightning dream
Mama's little baby better get herself in
out of the lightning
Verse:
She says It's only in my head She says Shhh I know it's only in my head But the girl in car in the parking lot says "Man you should try to take a shot can't you see my walls are crumbling?" Then she looks up at the building and says she's thinking of jumping She says she's tired of life she must be tired of something
Chorus:
Round here she's always on my mind
Round here hey man got lots of time
Round here we're never sent to bed early
And nobody makes us wait
Round here we stay up very, very, very, very late

There have been many other version's of this song submitted to the olga but i have felt that a lot of them have been a bit thin or not very clear. Here is my attempt, if anyone has any problems don't hesitate in E-mailing me, my address is at the bottom of the page.
Intro Repeat four times then into the chords or continue throughout verses
And that is basically it. You'll have to suss out the rythm yourself but apart from that it's all there. ENJOY. If I have left any blinding mistakes please E-mail me. If you like what you see please E-mail me as I will only be doing more 'crows songs on the sucsess of this one.
