Song
"Raining in Baltimore" by Counting Crowes
A bit tweaked from the other chords that I've seen for this song. Inspired by a
by JordanCaiolaMusic on YouTube: (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0we2Zd3-oo0)
Remember to keep the "B string" open throughout the song to give the song that whispey
When transitioning from the first line of the chorus to the second, there is a slight
riff, which sounds really good if you strum the "A Chord" the way it is listed
and then hammer on the "B String" to create a normal "A", pull it off, strum all the
open for a half-beat and then hammer on "E". Everyone says this, but if you listen to
CD, you will find the inspiration for it. It translates the chorus from piano to
guitar with dignity.

Verse 1
This circus is falling down on its knees
The big top is crumbling down
It's raining in Baltimore fifty miles east
Where you should be, no one's around
Chorus 1
I need a phone call
I need a raincoat
I need a big love
I need a phone call
Verse 2
These train conversations are passing me by
And I don't have nothing to say
You get what you pay for but I just had no,
intention, of living this way
Chorus 2
I need a phone call
I need a plane ride
I need a sunburn
I need raincoat
Break
And I get no answers
And I don't get no change
It's raining in Baltimore, baby
But everything else is the same
Verse 3
There's things I remember and things I forget
I miss you I guess that I should
Three thousand five hundred miles away
But what would you change if you could
Chorus 3
I need a phone call
Maybe I should buy a new car
I can always hear a freight train
If I listen real hard
And I wish it wasn't a small world
'Cause I'm lonely for the big towns
I'd like to hear a little guitar
I think it's time to put the top down
Chorus 4 Outro
I need a phone call
I need a raincoat
I really need a raincoat
I really really need a raincoat
I really really really need a raincoat
I really need a raincoat
