1492 Counting Crows
I'm a [Bm]Russian Jew American impersonating African,
Ja[G]maican, what I want to be's an Indian; I'm gonna be a
[Em]cowboy in the end, I guess; I bought a gun 'cause it impresses
[Bm]all the little girls I see and then they all wanna sleep with me
O[G]h, where do we disappear into the silence that
sur[D]rounds us and then [Em]drowns us in the [G]end?
Where all these [D]people who im[Em]personate our [G]friends
Say come a[D]gain, come a[Em]gain, come a[G]gain
Into [Bm]the dark Italian underground of disco lights and disco sounds
and [G]skinny girls who drink champagne and take me on their knees again
then [Em]pull me up and out the door past railway cars and tranny whores
And [Bm]mornings spreading out across the feathered thighs of angels
O[G]h, where do we disappear into the silence that
sur[D]rounds us and then [Em]drowns us in the [G]end?
Well they [D]try to push you [Em]out to keep you[G] in?
Say come a[D]gain, come a[Em]gain, come a[G]gain
In [Bm]1492, Columbus sailed the ocean blue
In [G]1493, he came home across the deep blue sea
In [Em]1494, he did it with the girl next door
In [Bm]1495, he barely made it out alive
In [Bm]1964, these sailors left me at the door
In [G]1970, some people got their hands on me
Now [Em]I'm the king of everything, I am the king of nothing now
I [Bm]am the king of everything, I am the king of nothing
O[G]h, where do we disappear into the silence that
sur[D]rounds us and then [Em]drowns us in the [G]end?
Where all these [D]people who im[Em]personate our [G]friends
Say come a[D]gain, come a[Em]gain, come a[G]gain
O[G]h, where do we disappear into the silence that
sur[D]rounds us and then [Em]drowns us in the [G]end?
Well they [D]try to get you [Em]out to keep you[G] in?
Where all these [D]people who im[Em]personate our [G]friends
Say come a[D]gain, come a[Em]gain, come a[G]gain
Come again, come [Bm]again
