"Raining in Baltimore" by Counting Crowes A bit tweaked from the other chords that I've seen for this song. Inspired by a by JordanCaiolaMusic on YouTube: (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0we2Zd3-oo0) Remember to keep the "B string" open throughout the song to give the song that whispey When transitioning from the first line of the chorus to the second, there is a slight riff, which sounds really good if you strum the "A Chord" the way it is listed and then hammer on the "B String" to create a normal "A", pull it off, strum all the open for a half-beat and then hammer on "E". Everyone says this, but if you listen to CD, you will find the inspiration for it. It translates the chorus from piano to guitar with dignity.
