But, you are right in you're suspician about that first chord to the chorus section -- it should be a "C" and not an "Am". Give it a try, you will like what you hear. So, to the masters that be, here is the .tab file, exactly as I have downloaded it, except for the appropriate Am to C chord changes: ===================================================================== Mr. Jones - Counting Crows Am F Dm G Am F Dm G G sha la la la la la la Am F Dm G I was down at the New Amsterdam staring at this yellow haired girl Am F G Mr. Jones strikes up this conversation whith this black haired flamenco dancer Am F Dm G She dances while his father playes guitar.
