Be         Ee        De   
Must've been  mid afternoon ...
Be         Ee        De 
I could tell by how far the child's shadow stretched out
Be         Ee               De
     He walks with a purpose in his sneakers down the street he had
Be        Ee                De 
Many      questions like children often do  (he said)

De      Ee          G

[verse] (Be-Ee-De)
Must've been late afternoon
On our way the sun broke free from the clouds
And we count only blue cars skip the cracks in the street and ask
Many questions like children often do

[verse] (Be-Asus2-G)

Be              Asus2         G
It's getting cold picked up the pace
How well our shoes make hot noises in this place
Our clothes are stained we pass many cross-eyed people and ask
Many questions like children often do

[chorus]

I received a few e-mails over my submission of Counting Blue Cars. Here
is what I responded. This should clarify a few things.
 
I play the Bm-A-G progression in one of 2 ways. (I usually further
enhance the A by playing Asus2)

Bm with open high 'e' (This certainly has several real names but I'm
self taught and don't need to deal with them. OLGA is great but it is
not GUITAR magazine).
