Mazur" Subject: TAB: Counting Crows, "Millers Angels" Tab: "Miller's Angels" Counting Crows Transcribed by Michael A. Mazur ([email protected]) Guitar 1 is an acoustic, tuned down 1/2 step (Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb) Guitar 2 is an electric, tuned down 1/2 step Guitar 3 is an octave mandolin, tuned down 1/2 (Gb Db Ab Eb) Guitar 4 is a pedal steel Note: All chords given are SOUNDING chords, not fretted chords Note: Fills are numbered according to which guitar plays them; I.E. Fill 2C is the third fill played by guitar 2 Note: Except for the bridge, both guitars 1 & 2 are playing very intermittently, so their parts have all been labeled as fills. Occasionally, during the choruses, guitar 1 strums the chords (1/2 step higher), but otherwise, everything is as notated. The mandolin is only played during the bridge, and is tabbed for a mandolin, not arranged for guitar. Lastly, there is a pedal steel, guitar 4, which plays mostly chords and chord tones throughout the song. I have not tabbed it's part out. Verse: (Band tacet, chords played by piano, bass) Gm Bb F Miller's angels in black and white Welcome everyone in Children dreaming of wrong and right Wrapped in grace and in sin Chorus: (Pedal steel
