Subject: TAB: Counting Crows, "Have you seen me lately?"

Tab: "Have you seen me lately?" Counting Crows

Transcribed by Michael A. Mazur (mmazur@wpi.edu)

Note: Throughout most of the song, guitar 1 is completely on the

left channel, and guitar 2 is completely right.

Intro:

Guitar 1 plays this four times,

|--------------------|
|--------------0--0--|
|--------------9--9--|
|--2--2--------9--9--|
|--2--2--------7--7--|
|--0--0--0--0--0--0--|

On the last repeat, guitar 2 enters with:

|--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--|
|--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--|
|--9--9--9--9--9--9--9--9--|
|--9--9--9--9--9--9--9--9--|
|--------------------------|
|--------------------------|

Then both guitars go to an F#m and then an A chord:

|--2--2--2--2--|--5--5--5--5--|
|--2--2--2--2--|--5--5--5--5--|

|--2--2--2--2--|--6--6--6--6--| guitar 1 replaces the F# on the 1st

|--4--4--4--4--|--7--7--7--7--|  string with an A (xx4225)
|--------------|--0--0--0--0--|
|--------------|--------------|

Then back to the E:

|--0--0--0--0--0--0--|-|--------------------------|

Verse:

Guitar 2 plays the same E F#m A progression it did in the intro

Guitar 1 plays the part tabbed out:

Get away from me F#m

just get away from me this isn't gonna be easy

A

but I don't need you

E

but it's just a little piece of me

but I don't need anyone

and these days I feel like I'm fading away

F#m A E

like sometimes when I hear myself on the radio

Guitar 1 plays fill 1 here:

D Asus4 D E A (sus4)

I was out on the radio starting to change

somewhere out in America

it's starting to rain

could you tell me the things you remember about me

Bm A E

and have you seen me lately?

I remember me

and all the little things

that make up a memory

like she said she loved to watch me sleep

like she said, * (w/ fill 2)

"it's the breathing in and out and in and..."

Fill 2

somewhere out in America it's starting to rain

could you tell me the things

you remember about me

and have you seen me lately?
