Chords and lyrics for Washington Square by Counting Crows (key of D).
Intro
E - C#m - Bm - A
E - D - A - E
[E]I sold my piano[C#m]
It couldn’t come [Bm]with me[A]
I locked up my [E]bedroom
and I walked out into the [D]air[A]
When nothing I [E]needed[C#m]
is left there [Bm]behind me[A]
I walk out through the [E]shadows[D]
Of [A]Washington [E]Square
Now I wander the [E]highway[C#m] from Dublin to [Bm]Berkeley[A]
and I heard the [E]songbirds of Valley [D]Paurine[A]
I loved like a [E]fountain[C#m]
and it left me with [Bm]nothing[A]
just the memories of [E]walking [D]through [A]Washington [E]Square
Now I live in the [E]shadows[C#m]
where light is [Bm]electric[A]
and time is a[E] number
that rests on a [D]wall[A]
Nobody knows [E]me[C#m]
my friends and my [Bm]family[A]
are as far from this [E]city[D]
as [A]Washington [E]Square
Harmonica solo:
E - C#m - Bm - A
E - C#m - Bm - A
E - C#m - Bm - A
E - D - A - E
So cover this [E]warm night[C#m]
in a blanket of [Bm]starlight[A]
And I'll follow this [E]freeway
out into the [D]air[A]
in case you should [E]wonder[C#m]
and wanted to [Bm]find me[A]
I’m traveling [E]homeward[D] to [A]Washington [E]Square
E D(hold) E
I’m traveling homeward to Washington Square
