40 Years - Counting Crows
Intro: F#m E Bm F#m
F#m E Bm
F#m E
I was born in the jungle
Bm F#m
With the sickening smell of cinnamon in the air
F#m E
Born in a white hole
Bm A D E F#m
and I can't believe the colors here today
E
Stuck on a circle
Bm F#m
I've never been blessed with elephant's memory
F#m E Bm
Riding a red line nowhere
D A G Bm A
If it takes 40 years for the gun to be paid for
D A G Bm A
If it takes 40 years, put the money away
D A G Bm A
If it takes 40 years to get the things that I need sir
D A G Bm A D E
If it takes 40 years I want the thunder and the rain
F#m E
I was born in a good home
Bm F#m
Where the rising cost of raising children
F#m E
Was not a factor
Bm A D A F#m
And I can't believe the things it does to me
E
I'm filled with the white noise
Bm F#m
Well I never did much of anything anyway
F#m E Bm
Jump on a big train nowhere
D A G Bm A
If it takes 40 years for the gun to be paid for
D A G Bm A
If it takes 40 years, put the money away
D A G Bm A
If it takes 40 years to get the things that I need sir
D A G Bm A
If it takes 40 years I want the thunder and the rain
F C G D
I'm gonna buy me a good heart, and a conscience, maybe raise some children
F C G
Get me a good wife, and a God and God and God and God and
F C G D
Start me a new life with a six foot color television
F C G A E
Start me a new life somewhere
F#m E
I was born on a warm night
Bm F#m
On the right coast, southeastern America
F#m E
Dead on arrival
Bm A D E F#m
But you can't believe the things you hear today
E Bm
I'll fly me a white plane over water
F#m
Over blue and green and
F#m E Bm
Land in the ocean somewhere
D A G Bm A
If it takes 40 years for the guns to be paid for
D A G Bm A
If it takes 40 years, put the money away
D A G Bm A
If it takes 40 years to get the things that I need sir
D A G Bm
If it takes 40 years well I want that thunder
A G Bm A
Yeah and I want that rain
G
Oh well I want that rain
Bm A
Come on now, now gimme the thunder, gimme the thunder
G Bm A
Gimme the rain
G Bm A
I want that rain, I want the thunder and the rain
