Counting Crows - 40 Years: chords

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

Chorus:
   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
If it takes 40 years I want the thunder and the
 A D E
rain

I was born in a good home
Where the rising cost of raising children
Was not a factor
And you can't believe the things it does to me
I'm filled with the white noise
Well, I never did much of anything anyway
Jump on a big train nowhere

Chorus

F                   C
I'm gonna buy me a good heart,
       G                 D
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

Well, I was born on a warm night
On the right coast of southeastern America
Dead on arrival
But you can't believe the things you hear today
I'll fly me a white plane over water
Over blue and green
And land in the ocean somewhere

Chorus

I'll walk that rain
C'mon now, give me the thunder
Give me the thunder
I want that rain
I want the thunder and the rain
