Counting Crows - 1492

I'm a ^BmRussian Jew American impersonating African, Ja^Gmaican, what I want to be's an Indian; I'm gonna be a ^Emcowboy in the end, I guess; I bought a gun 'cause it impresses ^Bmall the little girls I see and then they all wanna sleep with me

O^Gh, where do we disappear into the silence that sur^Drounds us and then ^Emdrowns us in the ^Gend? Where all these ^Dpeople who im^Empersonate our ^Gfriends Say come a^Dgain, come a^Emgain, come a^Ggain

Into ^Bmthe dark Italian underground of disco lights and disco sounds and ^Gskinny girls who drink champagne and take me on their knees again then ^Empull me up and out the door past railway cars and tranny whores And ^Bmmornings spreading out across the feathered thighs of angels

O^Gh, where do we disappear into the silence that sur^Drounds us and then ^Emdrowns us in the ^Gend? Well they ^Dtry to push you ^Emout to keep you^G in? Say come a^Dgain, come a^Emgain, come a^Ggain

In ^Bm1492, Columbus sailed the ocean blue In ^G1493, he came home across the deep blue sea In ^Em1494, he did it with the girl next door In ^Bm1495, he barely made it out alive

In ^Bm1964, these sailors left me at the door In ^G1970, some people got their hands on me Now ^EmI'm the king of everything, I am the king of nothing now I ^Bmam the king of everything, I am the king of nothing

O^Gh, where do we disappear into the silence that sur^Drounds us and then ^Emdrowns us in the ^Gend? Where all these ^Dpeople who im^Empersonate our ^Gfriends Say come a^Dgain, come a^Emgain, come a^Ggain

O^Gh, where do we disappear into the silence that sur^Drounds us and then ^Emdrowns us in the ^Gend? Well they ^Dtry to get you ^Emout to keep you^G in? Where all these ^Dpeople who im^Empersonate our ^Gfriends Say come a^Dgain, come a^Emgain, come a^Ggain Come again, come ^Bmagain
