It's getting cold, Picked up the pace.
How our shoes, Make hard noises in this place.
Our, clothes are stained,
We pass many, Cross-eyed people and ask,
Ma-ny questions, Like children often do.
"Tell me all your thoughts on God '
'Cuz I would really like to meet her.
And ask her why we're who we are.
Tell me all your thoughts on God '
'Cause I am on my way to see her.
So tell me am I very, far '
Am I very far now ', Am I very far now ',
Am I very far now '

I received a few e-mails over my submission of Counting Blue Cars. Here
is what I responded. This should clarify a few things.
I play the Bm-A-G progression in one of 2 ways. (I usually further
enhance the A by playing Asus2)
Bm with open high 'e' (This certainly has several real names but I'm
self taught and don't need to deal with them. OLGA is great but it is
not GUITAR magazine).

Playing the tune this way sounds a lot closer to the recording.
