Intro: D Gmaj7 x 4

D Gmaj7 D Gmaj7
Take the way home that leads back to Sullivan Street
D Gmaj7 D Gmaj7
Cross the water and home through the town
D Gmaj7 D Gmaj7
Past the shadows that fall down wherever we meet
D Gmaj7 D Gmaj7
Pretty soon I won't come around

Chorus:
G A Em
I'm almost drowning in her sea
G D
She's nearly fallen to her knees

Gmaj7 D Gmaj7
Take the way home ba, ba, ba, ba

Take the way home that leads back to Sullivan Street
Where all the bodies hang in the air
If she remembers, she hides it whenever we meet
Either way now, I don't really care, cause I'm gone from there

[Chorus]

Take the way home that leads back to Sullivan Street
I'm just another rider burned to the ground, come tumbling down

Chorus:
G A Em
I'm almost drowning in her sea
A Em
She's nearly crawling on her knees
G D Gmaj7
It's almost everything I need

D Gmaj7 D Gmaj7 D
I'm down on my knees I'm down on my knees
Gmaj7 D Gmaj7 D Gmaj7
I'm down on my knees I'm down on my knees
D
Down on my knees

[Ken sent me an article that was posted a while back: - sv]

Just to expand a little further, while playing the 'D' chord during the
verses, it sounds like he may be occasionally pulling off the 1st string
(2nd fret), then hammering on again for the next strum.

Here's an attempt to tab the the way I'm currently playing it, with bass
notes added for the piano chord part (sounds ok to my ears, although I
haven't worked it out to see if it's correct.) Your mileage may vary.
Feel free to jump in and correct me, show me a different way, etc.

V = pluck bass notes together
/ = strum top three strings, alternating up & down strums

D D4

Take the way home that leads back

to Sullivan Street ...

In the change from D to D4, your index finger moves from the G string
down to the A string, then back. Of course, this whole sequence isn't
strictly repeated over and over... sometimes there are the little
piano runs in between, and so on.
