The Classic Crime is a Seattle-based alternative rock band. They released their Tooth & Nail debut album, 'Albatross', in 2006. It marked the fastest first-week sales for a new artist in the history of T&N. The band members are Matt MacDonald (vocals), Justin DuQue (guitar), Robert "Cheeze" Negrin (guitar), Alan Clark (bass), and Paul "Skip" Erickson (drums).
While touring in support of their full-length album Albatross, the band created the Acoustic EP: Seattle Sessions, which was simply a compilation of songs they created while on the road.
Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
Did this by ear one day some time ago and just wanted to put up a simple version of the for those who are starting out on guitar. And again, it's by ear, so I'm sorry that it's not perfect :P Anyways,ENJOY!
(Strum the intro and verse chords when the bass drum sounds. But do whatever ya want for chorus and bridge thing)
Em, C, D (2x)
Verse: EmC My real estate, my life is dull D And dried up like the sound EmC A voice makes when the heart grows cold D And it’s going that way Em I think I’ll move out of state CD Somewhere far from Seattle city lights; they burn my eyes EmC California sounds nice but California’s a lie D Maybe I’m out of luck. EmCD Or maybe I’m just blind all this time
Chorus G Rain on my hopes
Rain on my soul CD Rain on everything that I know G It feels so ludicrous EmC The pursuit of this dream DEm We thought we’d be there long ago
Em, C, D
Then repeat the verse...
...and the chorus
Bridge thingy: EmCGD And we are all looking for the same thing, the same thing EmCGD Seattle is calling me back home, back home
Then the chorus twice more and once that's finished, play the intro until the song ends
