She Don't Want Nobody Near - Counting Crows

* The riff tab is a guide and contains the main emphasized notes.
  If you know the melody and strum it with feeling and you'll be fine.
  Email me (neilox) for more detail - I have a better way when playing it solo.
* A bracketed chord at the end of a line shows where the chord at the start of
  the next line starts relative to the lyric.

VERSE 1: (with riff if you want)
A                            D         E                    (A)
  She don't want nobody near, but you can't get away from that
A                        D           E                  (D)
  They appear and disappear and they all get a string attached 


CHORUS 1:
D        E                   C#m              D
 Pretty soon they've got you hanging on the line
D        E                   C#m               D
 Pretty soon they're singing one by one, the same old rhyme
          D                    E
They say "I'm alright, I just can't get home tonight"


    INTRO RIFF ONCE


VERSE 2:
A                           D               E                   (A)
  She don't want nobody home 'cause it's a little too crowded then 
A                               D          E
  But she don't want to be alone, so they just keep pouring in 


CHORUS 2:
D        E                   C#m              D
 Pretty soon they've got her headed for the door
D           E                C#m                  D
 She comes home to find that they're not hanging 'round no more
          D                      E
She says "I'm alright, you just can't get home tonight"
D           E                    C#m          D
 Don't you wonder what she looks like in the light?
          D                    E                A
She says "I'm alright, I just can't get home tonight"


BRIDGE:
F#m                          Bm
    Pretty white-washed lies,   endless alibis
    C#m                 D             E
and reasons that need cleaning every night
F#m                   Bm
    Half a world away.  You can't wash away
      D                              E
the stain of the deceiving and the things that you cannot believe 


VERSE 3:
      A                             D              E                     (A)
And well, she don't want no one around 'cause she don't want anybody to see 
A                                 D                    E
  What she looks like when she's down 'cause that's a really sad place to be 


CHORUS 3:
D        E                 C#m               D
 Pretty soon she gets them crawling up the walls
D          E               C#m                D
 Then she wonders why they beg her please to never call
          D       E                  C#m           D
She says "I'm ok, it's alright, hey look who's on TV tonight"
          D                    E
She says "I'm alright, I just can't get home tonight"
D           E               C#m              D
 Don't you wonder why it's dark outside at night?
          D                    E                 A
She says "I'm alright, I just can't get home tonight"
 F#m            D                    E                 A
Oh__, she says "I'm alright, I just can't get home tonight"
