Subject: TAB: Counting Crows, "Millers Angels"

Tab: "Miller's Angels" Counting Crows

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

Guitar 1 is an acoustic, tuned down 1/2 step (Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb)

Guitar 2 is an electric, tuned down 1/2 step

Guitar 3 is an octave mandolin, tuned down 1/2 (Gb Db Ab Eb)

Guitar 4 is a pedal steel

Note: All chords given are SOUNDING chords, not fretted chords

Note: Fills are numbered according to which guitar plays them;

I.E. Fill 2C is the third fill played by guitar 2

Note: Except for the bridge, both guitars 1 & 2 are playing very

intermittently, so their parts have all been labeled as fills.

Occasionally, during the choruses, guitar 1 strums the chords (1/2

step higher), but otherwise, everything is as notated. The mandolin

is only played during the bridge, and is tabbed for a mandolin, not

arranged for guitar. Lastly, there is a pedal steel, guitar 4,

which plays mostly chords and chord tones throughout the song. I

have not tabbed it's part out.

Verse: (Band tacet, chords played by piano, bass)

Gm Bb F

Miller's angels in black and white

Welcome everyone in

Children dreaming of wrong and right

Wrapped in grace and in sin

Chorus: (Pedal steel enters)
