Counting Crows — Omaha

 Tab submitted by: Digs - digs@totalise.co.uk

Artist: Conting Crows
Song: Omaha

From the album - August and Everything After

There are a few tabs of this song on the web but none
of them have the intro transcribed properly. Although the 
intro is played on an accordian (I think) the tab below 
sounds coorect on the guitar. You will have to finger
pick the intro to get it to sound right.Its a bit tricky
to play but it adds a bit of class to the song when you play it.
The rhythm is easy to pick up if you listen to the song
but if you have any questions e-mail me digs@totalise.co.uk 

Standard tuning.

That is the basis of the song, you should be 
able to work out the rest from here!!
