This name I got we all agreed

See could stop stop it will rid
We could bind it in the cist
We could gather, throw a fit
Up to buy, Katie buys a kitchen-size, but not me in

Setting trap for love, making a waste of time, sitting still
I'm the sign and you can read.

I'm the sign and you're not deaf.
We could bind it in the cist.
We could gather, throw a fit.

I can hear you. I can hear you. I can hear you.
This name I got we all agree

See could stop stop it will rid
We could bind it in the cist
We could gather, throw a fit.

{same as intro}
You can gather when I talk, talk until you're blue

You could get away from me. Get away from me.
Up to buy, Katie buys a kitchen-size, but not me

Can you hear me?

(There are three versions of this song in this file. First the lyrics.
I'll try to "pretty" it up when I have the time. - Chris)
Lyrics:
Steady repetition is a compulsion mutually reenforced.

Now what does that mean?
Is there a just contradiction?
Nothing much.
Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep.
If I should die before I wake, I pray the Lord, hesitate.
Got to punch
Right on target
Twisting tongues
Gotta stripe down his back
all nine yards down her back
Give me a couple,
Don't give me a couple of pointers,
Turn to lies and conversation fear
Got to punch
Right on target
Twisting tongues
Give me a couple,
What is my mind?
What is my mind?
Steady repetition is a compulsion mutually reenforced.

Now what does that mean?
Is there a just contradiction?
Nothing much.
Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep.
If I should die before I wake, oh come on, hesitate, hesitate.
Got to punch
Right on target
Twisting tongues
Give me a couple,
Conversation fear. Conversation fear. Conversation fear.
------
From: Jonathan Blanks (joblanks@vt.edu)
(in normal tuning)
intro is of course strings and notes, but if you play an A chord it

sounds good. Then after the intro before the song kicks in I think
it is a B or B5. From what I can tell the verse is E then B (orB5) and the
last line of the verse is E and the chorus goes B//A// and there may be a G
in there somewhere but maybe it's just the bass playing a G.

{once again, there's a melody line played on the E string with

the chords, it just alternates between D Dsus2 and Dsus4;
with the Bm chord, its easier to play a "cheater" chord (no barre)

you're a weenie}

TIME AFTER TIME (ANNELISE)
The tune is in E flat, but uses standard RES chord shapes.
Play the main riff and chorus on a guitar tuned to F, or tuned normally and
capoed to the first fret, or tuned to E flat and capoed on the second fret.
Play the 2nd guitar part on a guitar tuned to E flat, so you can get the drone
effect. You can just play the 1st and 2nd strings if you want.
Play the 3rd guitar part (ringing chords) on a guitar tuned to E flat, using
this shape:
Eb chord shape: 079900
Main riff (tune to F or capo 1st fret)

F--|-0----0-0-0---3-3-sl-5-0---- This is the main riff and repeats many times
C--|-3----3-3-3---3-3--------0-- throughout the song. I believe that the main
Ab-|-2----2-2-2---2-2----------- chord here is Dsus2 with some extra picking
Eb-|-0----0-0-0---0-0----------- thrown in. Wierd, but not so hard once you get
Bb-|---------------------------- the hang of it. Tune to F to maximize ringing
F--|---------------------------- of open strings. (Or play in standard tuning
with capo on 1st fret).
2nd guitar (tune to E flat)

Eb-|-0-0-0-0----0-0-0-0-----| This is the droning heard through most of the song
Bb-|-5-5-5-5----5-5-5-5-----| Play with either two or three strings, your choice.

End on Eb chord (7th fret)
Notes: There are three guitars on this song. One (tuned to F?) plays the
main riff. The second basically drones on Eb notes, played on two strings at
once. A 12 string would be ideal for this part. A third guitar plays the Eb
chord on the seventh fret (with open Eb and Bb strings). It sounds like
there's more going on due to the interaction of these parts.
------
LETTER NEVER SENT
This, as most songs on Reckoning, is based on the D chord. I play it

by making a D chord but without putting my first finger on the high E
string. This makes it easier to do the fingerings needed for this
song. Basically it goes pretty much like this :
-----------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------3-----------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------
0-0-0-0-4-4-4-4-2-2-2----0---0-----------------------------------
2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-0-0-0------3-------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------
After the beginning part there are these series of chords :
D D D D G G C C C C D D D D G G C C C C
And then the chorus:
A G A G A G
Heaven's yours Heavens yours Heavens yours...etc
There there is this part:
Bm A D Bm A G
When I'm moving too fast Where's my new adress
CAMERA
So, let's call this "riff a".
D(4) !0-----------0-2-!3-------------0-!2---------------!----------------!
A(5) !----------------!----------------!----------------!------0---0---0-!
D(4) !0-----------0-2-!3-------------0-!2---------------!----------------!
A(5) !----------------!----------------!----------------!1-----1---0---0-!
That's the first eight measures of the song. In fact, that's the bass line for
all the verses. If you have a bass and a guitar both, the bass should play
this throughout (except for the chorus) and the guitar should not come in until
the third line of the first verse ("when the party lulls..."). If you have
just a guitar, then you should play this for the first two lines of the first
verse.
We'll call this "riff b".
e(1) !5-------------5-!----------------!------3---------!0-----0-----0---!
B(2) !3-----------3---!------3---------!----0-----0-----!--3-----3-----3-!
G(3) !2---------2-----!--2-------2-----!--2---------2---!----0-----0-----!
D(4) !0-------0-------!3-----------3-0-!2-------------2-!----------------!
There is, of course, ad lib. on the actual recording, but this is the basic
pattern.
And this is "riff c".

(slide)
e(1) !------------5/10!8---------------!7-------------!----------------!
B(2) !----------3-----!--------------10!---------10p8h!10----10--------!
G(3) !--------2-------! (pull-off and hammer-on)
D(4) !0---------------!
or, another way that might be easier:

e(1) !------------5/10!8-------------5h!7---------5--p3!5-----5---------!
B(2) !----------3-----!
G(3) !--------2-------!
D(4) !0---------------!
(the more I play it over, the better I like this fingering...)
Also, throughout the chorus, there's a pretty typical sus4/add2 chord pattern;
for example, on the D chord, do something like this to the note on e(1):
e(1) !2-----2-2-3---5-!--3---2---0---2-!
Do the same thing on the second string while playing the A chord at the end of
the chorus. On the C chord, hammer-on to the third fret on the second string
(Cadd2) in a similar pattern.
Now that _that's_ all done with...
verse 1
/From the inside room when the front room green
riff a
\Becomes your special book, it was simple then
riff b When the party lulls, if we fall by the side
riff b Will you be remembered? Will she be remembered? (Asus4/A)
chorus
G D C D
Alone in a crowd, a bartered lantern borrowed
G D C A
If I'm to be your camera, then who will be your film?
verse 2
riff b I fell by your bed once; I didn't want to tell you
riff b I should keep myself inbetween th pages
riff b Will you be remembered? Will she be remembered? (Asus4/A)
chorus
play riff c twice, then:
verse 3
riff c From the inside room when the front room green
riff b Becomes your special book, it was simple then
riff b I still like you; can you rememeber? (Asus4/A)
chorus twice
That's about all there is to it! Enjoy!

I saw a treehouse on the outskirts of the farm.

The power lines have floaters so the airplanes won't get snagged.
Bells are ringing through the town again,
Children look up, all they hear is sky-blue, bells ringing

Am C
Way to seal the hated heat.
G D
Way to put myself to sleep.
Am C
Way to shield the hated heat.
G D/Dsus4
Way to put myself, my children to sleep.
He piloted this song in a plane like that one.

She is selling faith on the Go Tell crusade.
Locomotive 8, Southern Crescent, hear the bells ring again.
Field to weed is lookin' thin

We've been on this shift too long."

My carpenter's out and running about, talking to the street
{same as before}
My pockets are out and running about
Barking in the street to tell what I have hidden there
Burn bright through the night, two pockets lead the way
Two doors to go between the wall was raised today
Raise the walls and shout its flaws, a carpenter should rest
So that when you tire of one side the other serves you best

{somewhere around her, there's that little break "Listen to the holler..."
chords are: F Fsus4 C D
The hills ringing hear the words in time

Listen to the holler, listen to my walls within my tongue
Can't you see you made my ears go tin?
the air quicken tension building inference suddenly
Life and how to live it
Raise the walls and shout its flaws, a carpenter should rest
So that when you tire of one side the other serves you best
Read about the wisdom lost, a knock, a knock, a knock
A secret knock one hammer's locked the other wisdom lost

My carpenter's out and running about, barking in the, listen to the holler
Listen, listen to the holler,

If I write a book it will be called "Life and How to Live It"

Old Man Kensey wants to be a sign painter

First he's got to learn to read
He's gonna be a clown on TV
Flags at his elbow, time to breathe
That's my folly, I believe
Drink up the lake Kensey's awake
That's my folly, that's my mistake
Old Man Kensey wants to be a goalie

First he's got to learn to count
He's gonna be a clown on a circus mount
Letters to be signed in sopped-up tar
Kensey's going far
John, Bill and Ed, stand on your head
That's my folly, I'm ready to go
Old Man Kensey wants to be a dog catcher

First he's got to learn to stand
He's gonna be a clown in a marching band
Letters to be signed ransom greed
That's my folly, I believe
Drink up the lake, John, Bill and Ed,
That's my folly, that's my mistake
Kensey's awake, stand on your head
That's my folly, I'm ready to go
CAN'T GET THERE FROM HERE

The wheelbarrow's fallen

Look at my hands
They've found some surplus cheaper hands
Rubbing palms and pick and choose,
who will they choose? Here is the news.
Look at that building, look at this man

Haloed and whitewashed
Gone to find a cheaper hand
he'll offer a pound, offer a pound.
Green grow the rushes go

The compass points the workers home
Pay for your freedom, find another gate

Guilt by associate, the rushes wilted a long time ago
Guilty as you go
Stay off that highway, word is it's not so safe

The grasses that hide the greenback
The amber waves of gain again
The amber waves of gain

The compass points the workers home

From: Steve-o Bananafish
Tuning: DADGBE (that's dropped D)

[Note: The solo guitar line is marked as being tuned EADGBE. It's a different
guitar. It doesn't really matter, however: since the solo line doesn't go
down to the 6th string, you can play both parts on the same guitar without
trouble.]

If you stand and holler, these prayers will talk

Michael built a bridge... Michael tore it down

LYRICS
She didn't want to get pinned down by her prior town
Get me to the train on time, here take this nickel make a dime
Take this penny and make it into a necklace when I leave
What is at the other end, I don't know another friend
Another wife, another morning spent
Listen, listen to the auctioneer
Another engine, another engine
We never wrote the reasons that I need explained

Some things are givens, and others get away
This time its for myself you call it what you may
Okay, we won't say goodbye so long, so much more
Listen to the auctioneer
Listen to the bargain holler

Listen to the barter holler
Get me to the train on time here take this nickel make a dime
Take this penny and make it into a necklace when I leave
What is at the other end, an I don't know another friend
Another wife, another morning spent
Do I stand the bargain holler?

Listen to the barter holler
GOOD ADVICES
The basic chords for this song are E, D and A, although not the normal
open E, D and A. There's also an Em and some picking as well.
Here are the chords as I hear them, but due to the numerous guitar
tracks on the studio version, your guess is as good as mine:
E D A Em D-lick
E-0------0-----0----0-----2-----0--------------------------------------|
B-0------0-----0----0-----3-3-----3---3--------------------------------|
G-9------7-----6----0-----2---2-----2----------------------------------|
D-9------7-----7----2-----0--------------------------------------------|
A-7------5-----0----2--------------------------------------------------|
E-0------X-----X----0--------------------------------------------------|
The song fades in on the E chord and the verses go:

E
When you greet a stranger, | Verse II:
D | When you greet a stranger,
Look at his shoes. | Look at her hands,
A E | Keep your money in your hands,
Keep your money in your shoes, | Put your travel behind.

I'd like it here if I couldn't | Keep your memories in your shoes,
Even see you from a long way away. | Put your travel behind.
CHORUS (as above):
Break:
Em
At the end of the day,
When there are no friends.
Verse V: (wierd but it works) Verse VI:

And there are no lovers. | Familiar face, a boring place,
Who are you going to call for? | I'll forget your name.
What do you have to change. | I'd like it here if I couldn't
(Mike Mills in the background) | Even see you from a long way away.

WENDELL GEE
C Dm
That's when Wendell Gee takes a tug
G G7 Em G
Upon the string that held the line of trees
C Dm
Behind the house he lived in
G G7
He was reared to give respect
Em G F
But somewhere down the line he chose
C Em F
To whistle as the wind blows
F C G C
Whistle as the wind blows, with me
{same as before}
He had a dream one night
That the tree had lost its middle
So he built a trunk of chicken wire
To try to hold it up
But the wire, the wire turned to lizard skin
And when he climbed inside
F C Em F
There wasn't even time to say
F C G F
Goodbye to Wendell Gee
C Em F
So whistle as the wind blows
C G C (second time through, play F)
Whistle as the wind blows, with me
C Em F
If the wind were colors
C G F
And if the air could speak
C Em F
Then whistle as the wind blows
C G C
Whistle as the wind blows

off with a plain jane E-chord, then playing an Esus4, and then stretch
your pinky down to the 4th fret of the D string to make that F# note.}

'Buskers' Version (Verses)

---------------------------
If you aren't playing in a band, the verses aren't very inspiring

to play. Below are the 2 bars used in the verses, which include
the bass line arranged for guitar. It may take practice to get the
picking and string skips working together. The bracketed notes are
optional - they aren't part of the bass line but fill out the wide
interval skips, giving the part a fuller sound.

TAB Key
---------
X - mute with palm of hand

~ - hold note
^ - emphasise note
rake - exagerate the strumming of the chord
(but not enough for it to be an arpeggio)
Notes
------
The song mix is pretty infuriating if you are trying to unravel what
all the instruments are doing in it. The guitar is less prominant than
the bass, drums and vocals. The drums contain alot of high-hat work and
general percussion which can be mistaken for low level acoustic guitar.
The guitar has a clean tone throughout.
The guitar in the verses is very sparse, the bass and drums fill things
out. The verses are nominally the same, slight differences are labelled
as 'fills'.
The choruses are easier to hear, all are similar. The differences are
labelled as fills. Make sure the open-E-string is emphasised (when
indicated). All the notes are shown as occuring on a beat, this isn't
strictly true, the guitar plays 'around' the beat - but it's as accurate
as ascii tab can show, listen to the record to get the proper 'feel'.
The interlude may countain an acoustic guitar deep down in the mix. Its
very difficult to hear exactly whats going on. The chords above the tab
show what the guitar is likely to be playing.

I listen to the finest worksong,
Chorus :

Your finest hour

Chorus
Bridge: | A |

Chorus
Finest Worksong
===============
{on this song, it is often effective to raise the finger that you're
barring the B chord with to give it a suspended feel and create an
A note in the bass! This song is about 90% style. The chords alone
don't cut it! Oh well.....}
B
I listen to the finest worksong
E F# E F#
Your finest hour
{same as before}

Your finest hour
{break A single notes: A G F# G A}

Your finest hour
{end with Em and various harmonics}
Welcome To The Occupation

=========================
The intro goes like this:
E--0-- X=Mute this string

B--0--
G--0-- I don't know the name of this chord
D--2-- but i'm sure it has one. anybody?
A--0--
E--X-- Anyways, the intro is this chord, then
a Dsus2: E--0--
| B--3--
| G--2--
|--------------> D--0--
A--0--
Then the, verses go:
Em G Em Dsus2 (either strum or pick the 1,2 & 3

Hang your collar up inside strings)
Hang your dollar on me
Listen to the water still
Listen to the causeway run (you are?)
note- When going from the Em to the G and back again,

walk the bass notes up (eg. A
and back down too E--0--2--3--
Em G
[the "Man educated" part is the 1st chord of the intro (maybe Am7)
[again, followed by this chord, which may not be correct
[and, again, I don't know what it's called:
E--0-- It's sort of like the shape of an augmented

B--3-- chord.
G--4--
D--4--
A--5--
E--X--
Man educated primitive and wild

Em G Em Dsus2
Here we stand and here we fight
All your fallen heroes
Held and died and skinned alive
Listen to the Congress fire
(as above i.e. "Man educated . . .")
Offering the educated primitive and loyal

Hang your collar up inside
Hang your freedom higher
Listen to the buyer still
Listen to the Congress
Where we propagate confusion
Primitive and wild
- at this point, there is an instrumental break where

you play:
Fmaj7 Em (x2) (I think)
then, coming out of this and into the final verse,

play (rather aggressively):
G D
(back to this again)
Em G Em Dsus2
Sugar cane and coffee cup
Copper steel and cattle
An annotated history the forest for the fire
(same as before)
Where we open up the floodgates

Freedom reigns supreme
Em G Em Dsus2
Listen to me
then the "outro" tagged on the end goes:

Em Dsus2 Em (maybe Em7?)

Disturbance At The Heron House

(D) -0-0-0-(0)-0-0-0-0-0-2---0-
(A) -every other time, play this string open...
{I'm pretty sure that Peter is just picking a Dsus2 chord throughout
the whole verse, but Mills is doing other "stuff" on the bass. I play
the chords Dsus2 and Dsus2/C just to make it interesting. I probably
should pull out McCabe's Guitar Shop and see what they did there, huh?}

WORLD LEADER PRETEND

{intro Em Bm Em Bm Em Bm G A }
D G C D
I sit at my table and wage war on myself
D G C D
It seems like it's all...it's all for nothing
D G C
I know the barricades, and
D D
I know the mortar in the wall breaks
G C D
I recognize the weapons, I used them well
Em Bm
Em Bm
This is my mistake. Let me make it good
Em Bm G A
I raised the wall, and I will be the one to knock it down
I've a rich understanding of my finest defenses

I proclaim that claims are left unstated,
I demand a rematch
I decree a stalemate
I divine my deeper motives
I recognize the weapons
I've practiced them well. I fitted them myself
It's amazing what devices you can sympathize...empathize

I raised the walls, and I will be the one to knock it down
{I lose track of where the chords occur over the words. They just
switch between Am and C until the last part of this section...}
Am C Am C
Reach out for me and hold me tight. Hold that memory
Am C Am A G
Let my machine talk to me. Let my machine talk to me
This is my world
And I am the world leader pretend
This is my life
And this is my time
I have been given the freedom
To do as I see fit
It's high time I've razed the walls
That I've constructed
It's amazing what devices you can sympathize...emapathize

I raised the walls, and I will be the one to knock it down
You fill in the mortar. You fill in the harmony

You fill in the mortar. I raised the walls
And I'm the only one
I will be the one to knock it down

I'm not supposed to be like this

But it's okay
Hey those kids are looking at me

They're laughing and they're running over here

Divide your cultured pearls and paste

Of all the things I cannot taste
This is not the wasted race

I am not the type of dog

That could keep you waiting
For no good reason
Run a carbon-black test on my jaw
And you will find it's all been said before

I can swing my megaphone and long arm the rest

It's easier and better

To just beat it from the chest
Of desire G
{verse}
I could walk into this room
And the waves of conversation are enough
To knock you down in the undertow
So alone so alone in my life
Feed me banks of light
And hang your hairshirt on the lowest rung
It's a beautiful life
And I can hang my hairshirt
Away up high in the attic of the wrong dog's life chest
Or bury it at sea
All my life I've searched for this
Here I am here I am in your life
My life
Your life

I remember traffic jams
Motor boys and girls with tans
Nearly was and almost rans
I remember this
{Main Riff x 4}
{Riff #2}
History is made

Recollect it wasn't fair
{Riff #2}
Remembering it wasn't fair outside

The willow at high tide
The lowest ebb and highest tide
The simple wave I must confide
I guess we took a slow ride
{Riff #3}
I guess it's just a gesture

I remember this defense
Progress fails pacific sense
All those sweet conspiracies
I remember all these things

I sat there looking ugly, looking ugly and mean.
Knew what you were saying you were saying to me.
Baby's got some new rules, baby said she's had it with me.
It seems a shame you waste your time on me.
Seems a lie to waste your time for me.
{Ab5 riff} {C#5 riff}

Left me to love, What it's doing to me.
{C#5 riff}
There's a lot of honey in this world, baby this honey's from me.
Got to do what you do, do it with me.
It seems a shame you waste your time for me.

{C#5 riff}
Knocked silly, knocked flat, sideways down.
These things they pick you up, turn you around.
Say your piece, say you're sweet for me.
It's all the same to share the pain with me.
It's all the same. Save the shame for me.

{C#5 riff}
Baby's got some new rules, baby says she's had it with me.
There's a fly in the honey and baby's got a baby with me.
That's a part, that's a part of me.

(over and over again for the whole song... the two lines above are played
for each line)
Nightswimming deserves a quiet night

The photograph on the dashboard taken years ago
Turn around backwards so the windshield shows
Every streetlight reveals a picture and a verse
Still It's so much clearer
I forgot my shirt at the water's edge
The moon is low tonight
Nightswimming deserves a quiet night

i'm not sure all these people understand
It's not like years ago
The fear of getting caught
The recklessness in water
They cannot see me naked
These things they go away
Replaced by every day
Nightswimming remembering that night

September's coming soon
i'm pining for the moon
and what if there were two
Side by side in orbit
Around the fairest sun
A bright type could never drawn
could not describe, Nightswimming
You I thought I knew you, you I cannot judge,

you I thought you knew me, this one laughing quietly, underneath my breath
Nightswimming
The photograph reflects every streetlight a reminder

Nightswimming deserves a quiet night, deserves a quiet night

Here comes that awful feeling again
Welcome the ugly animal.
I hold my breath to what you sing,
My pyro b-ba-ba ball and chain,
I'm not afraid, I messed it, messed it, messed it, messed it up

I've got my telescope head in the haystack

I'm getting tired of your dodgeball circus act

Put pepper in my coffee, I forgot to bark on command

YOU
>From Bryan Killingsworth (akilling@pen.k12.va.us):
'You' off Monster is Dm, Gm for the verse and it holds Am

for awhile and goes to C for the chorus (I think)...with a Dm
riff during the verses (the notes are pretty much in the chord,
hammer-on on the 2nd fret of G string and open D string).
Let the sun beat through the clouds,

Let me kiss you on the mouth.
All my childhood toys with chew marks in from a smile.
Let me hold your syrup close to mine.
Let me watch you, Hollywood and Vine.
And I want you like the movies, touch me now.
I love you crazy, just keep on.
I love you madly, just keep watch.
You wipe my lips,
You turn me on.
My attentions are turned to you.
Did I dream you were a tourist

in the Arizona sun?
I can see you there with luna moths
and watermelon gum.
I woke up in the sleeping bag,
With nowhere else to run.
You're standing in the bathroom
telling me its all in fun.
You wipe my lips,
You turn me on.
I can whisper in your ear.

I can write a calendar year
I can wing around your Saturn smile, shut out the moon
I walked the tension wire line.
And I learned to disrespect the signs.
And I want you like a Pisces rising, even though
You wipe my lips,
You turn me on.

wrong place, wrong time.

The story of my life in trying times.

I didn't wear glasses cause I thought it might rain.
Now I can't see anything.

I cracked through time, space, Godless and dry.
I point my nose to the northern star,
watch the decline from a hazy distance.

That's what keeps me down
I say they aren't gonna like me
I say they don't know thier plane
Never left the ground.
(Chorus) x 1
Lift me, lift me,

I'll attain my dream.
I lost myself, I lost the,
Heartache calling me.
I lost myself in sorrow.

I lost myself in pain.
I lost myself in gravity.
Memory, leave, leave, leave.
(Chorus) x 2
In my hands my eyes are still

I walk into the sea
Shoot myself in a different place
And leave it.
Wait for this to take me,

It longed for my release.
Waited for the calling,
To leave, leave
Leave, leave, leave, leave

Leavin', Leavin'

I move across, innocence lost
All flashing pulsar
I move across the earth in my new pattern shirt
I pass satellites
"You're so bitter," your complaint

I can't give you anything.
I don't know who you're livin for
I don't know you at all anymore
F Bb
I'd sooner chew my leg off,
Dm C
Than be trapped in this cell

How easy to think of all of this as bittersweet me
Am C G (Riff B)
I can't taste it
I'm tired and naked.
I don't know what I'm hungry for
I don't know what I want anymore
Move across, candy floss

I move like a tank
Move across the room
With heart full of glue, I'm stronger than you think
Oh my peer,
Your venier is wearing thin and cracking.
The surface and forms underneath,
Underneath is lacking

how easy to think of all of this as bittersweet me
I couldn't taste it
I'm tired and naked.
You move across, innocence lost,

All static and desire,
You're blue in the face from a makeup case,
You set yourself on fire
You strip down, lay yourself out

I know you can't fake it,
But are you tired and naked?
Are you tired and naked? Well,

how easy to think of all of this as bittersweet me
I couldn't taste it
I'm tired and naked

Lyrics:
I never thought of this as funny

It speaks another world to me
I wanna be your Easter bunny
I wanna be your Christmas tree.
I'll strip the world that you must live in

of all its godforsaken greed.
I'll ply the tar of your feathers
I'll pluck the thorns out of your feet.
You and me.
You and me.
You and me.
And if I choose your sanctuary.

I'll want to wash you with my hair.
I'll want to drink of sacred fountains
and find elixirs hidden there.
I'll eat the lotus and peyote.

I'll want to hear the caged-bird sing.
I'll want the secrets of the temple.
I'll want the finger with the ring.
You and me.
You and me.
You and me.
And if you made me your religion.

I'll give all the room you need.
I'll be the drawing of your breath.
I'll be cup if you should bleed.
I'll be the sky above the Ganges
I'll be the vast and stormy sea.
I'll be the lights that guide you inland.
I'll be the visions you will see.
Visions you will see.
You will see.
You will see.
You and me.
You and me.
You and me.

All the ashtrays, cities and the freeway drives

Broken casino and waterslide
Eighteen-wheeler, payback dice.
Gravity pulls on the power line.
Jet stream cuts the desert sky.

This is a land could eat a man alive.
Say you'd leave it all behind.
{Bridge}: D, G
There's a radio tower that's egging me on

Back to the place where you never belong.
Where people thrive on their own contempt.
Whatever meaning is long gone, spent.
If you had to guess or make bet,
would you place yourself inside of it?
the mountains yawn, the clouds let out a sigh.
"Tricked again." Let go, okay.

Updated chords for Suspicion using basics from DJ Allen, with a slight
variation on his use of G and Bb. I've tried G (320033) and
G/Bb (x10033) and found it a nice option. You decide.
Also added extra chords at the end of the chorus, which also form the
repeat at the end of the song.
I've only added the effected parts of the song here. Repeat througout as
needed.

HOPE
you want to go out friday

and you go forever
you know that it sounds childish
that you've dreamt of aligators
you hope that we are with you
and you hope you're recognized
you want to go forever
you see it in my eyes
F
I'm lost in the confusion
and it doesn't seem to matter
C
you really can't believe it
and you hope it's getting better
you want to trust the doctors

their procedure is the best
but the last try was a failure
and the intern was a mess
and they did the same to Matthew
and he bled 'til sunday night
they're saying don't be frightened
but you're weakened by the sight of it
F
you lock into a pattern
and you know that it's the last ditch
C
you're trying to see through it
and it doesn't make sense
F
but they're saying don't be frightened
and they're killing alligators
C
and they're hog-tied
and accepting of the struggle
you want to trust religion

and you know it's allegory
but the people who are followers
have written their own story
so you look up to the heavens
and you hope to see a spaceship
and it's something from your childhood
you're thinking don't be frightened
Em
you want to climb the ladder
you want to see forever
C
and you want to go forever
F
and you want to cross your dna
C
to cross your dna with something reptile
F
amd you're questioning the sciences
and questioning religion
C
you're looking like an idiot
and you no longer care
F
and you want to bridge the schism,
C
a built-in mechanism to protect you
F
and you're looking for salvation
and you're looking for deliverance
C
and you no longer care

At my most beatiful - R.E.M.
One of the many great songs from the new album, I just picked it out,
believe it's correct. The bass notes on F/A and Bb/F sound a lot better
if played on a real bass and/or a piano, but if you only have a guitar,
I guess that's better then nothing...

THE APOLOGIST
tabbed by miKe. (ericseis@hotmail.com)

[second half of solo from Chris Lawrence]
This is a cool song played mostly by jamming on Am (open or fifth fret).

Just pile on the distortion and hit single or pairs of strings in the chord
pretty much at random. As long as you keep the 'feel' of the song you can't go
far wrong.
Near the end of the song, as things lose what little definition they had,
just attack the Am(V) and interject with little riffs and jams.
Little Riffs:
e|--7-8b-7-5----5---- or e|--7-8-/11-- perhaps e|-5-5-5-5-5-5-5---

b|-----------8-(5)--- maybe b|----------- this b|-5-5-5-5-5-5-5---
Am riff: (this is the odd organ backing)

g|--6-8--6/8/6--
d|--7-9--7/9/7--
End riff: (this is the riff that gets played in the final 'bridge')
g|------4--4-5
d|--7--7------

SAD PROFESSOR
From: JamieWire@postmaster.co.uk
Here's the correct version as played by Mike Mills on Rockpalast.
Tuning - some kind of open D.
E (bass string) A D A D D (treble string)
Performance notes: the double tuning of the 'b' and the 'e' to get two 'd'
notes gives a really ethnic kind of drone. Mike has strong hands - this
song is not easy to play unless you're a barre master!
Mix up and down strokes. Listen to the rhythm - these are the notes but
they're tabbed wrong!

Only 4 chords:
D (open) A(barre) G(barre) F(barre) )(E-shaped barres)
The transitions from A-G and G-A and A-F are usually slides.
In the chorus the song skips two beats (after 'i started a chapter' and
'everybody hates a drunk') so be careful.
If anything's wrong, correct it and curse me for being incompetent.

YOU'RE IN THE AIR
From: Tom Davies (raoul2001@hotmail.com)
Here is a tab for some bits of "You're In the Air" - probably one of my
favourite tracks off of "Up", and therefore, the one no-one has
transcribed yet. (If these tabs don't look like they make sense, it's
because of the unequal spacing for letters in my e-mail program - in a
plain text format (i.e. in Notepad or something like that), the number
of dashes is fine!)
Some of the guitar parts are swamped underneath keyboards and organs and
other antiquated analogue noise, so I haven't got them (yet!).
The main verse riff that accompanies "you wanted a challenge that's
calling you higher" is something like this....
E-------------------|-----------------
B-------------------|-----------------
G-------------------|------------7-9--
D---7-10-7----9-----|---7-10-7-9------
A-0--------10---10--|-0---------------
E-------------------|-----------------
(The two sections are split up so you can easily read them - it's not an
attempt to use bars or anything musical!)
This call and response pattern repeats throughout the verse until, "You
say you want me..." which is then kinda blasted out by the organs and
bass. The general chord pattern is, however....
E-3---3---0---0---3---0----0--------0--
B-2---2---1---1---0---1----1--------1--
G-3---3---0---0---0---2----2--------0--
D-0---0---2---2---0---2----0--------2--
A-X---X---3---3---2---0----2--------3--
E-X---X---X---X---3---0----0--------0--
D / D / C / C / G / Am / Am w/B / C
You may want to just arpeggio these chords loosely until someone knows
what the actual pattern is.
Then into verse two - "brighten the stars, the weather is lifting".
Verse pattern is used again.
The second chorus is the same until the end when there's a little solo
bit (dead easy) which I think Peter plays on his electric sitar. It
goes...
E--------------------------------------------
B-----------------------------13-------------
G--14-14-12-14-14-12-14-14-12----14-12-12-14- (last two notes performed
D-------------------------------------------- in a sweet hammer-on)
A--------------------------------------------
E--------------------------------------------
This is repeated twice and then a final time, with a bit on the end.
E--------------------------------------------|---------
B-----------------------------13-------------|---------
G--14-14-12-14-14-12-14-14-12----14-12-12-14-|-7-9-9--- (more
hammer-ons)
D--------------------------------------------|---------
A--------------------------------------------|-------0-
E--------------------------------------------|---------
This open A string then goes straight back into the verse pattern for
verse three - "I want the stars to know they've won".
Etcetera, etcetera.
At the end, as Pete's doing his 'cer-azy' feedback, etc., there is an

alternate bit to the verse pattern, which goes.
E--------------
B--------------
G--------------
D---7-10-7--9--
A-0--------10--
E--------------
And that's as much as I know! Please - someone with a sampler get rid of
all those organs and find out what the nice jangly bits are in the
chorus and the solo bits!
Lyrics:
you wanted a challenge that's calling you higher I landed on my feet by

crawling I
remember standing alone trying to forget you idling I hate to admit that
that's my
reference point but there it is you say you want me
I'm what you found I'm upside sown you're in the air you're in the air
and I am breathing
brighten the staars the weather is lifting the heavens love a love like
this it's pulling
you higher twist it and turn this around it lights from within it
dribbles your chin now
brings a smile I'm lost again I'm lost again
and I am breathing
you
I want the stars to know they've won if only to beguile the sky has
opened up again in
heaven reconciled I want you naked I want you wild I want the stars to
know they win
give me that smile just give it me just turn it on I'm lost again
I'm what you found I'm upside down you're in the air I'm what you found
I'm upside down
you're in the air I'm what you found I'm upside down you're everywhere
you're in the air
and I am breathing you

Hi. I'm a huge fan, and I love your site. I have the Automatic for the People
songbook, and I'm going to get Out of Time. I play guitar, and I'm going to start
mandolin. Your site has been very helpful to me.
I think I figured out at least part of You're in the Air. Right after the
chorus, that sitar (I think that's what it is) plays a really cool riff. I think
this is how it is (on the high e string)
-7-7-5-7-7-5-7-7-5-10-7-5-7-
I've never written tab before, just music, so I apologize if that looks weird,
but that is how it goes. Remember, it is on the high e string. If my tab is
incorrect, you can probably figure it out by using the same format on the
string in various places.
Please mail me and tell me if you like it.
Here's the tab I've found around the net, hope it helps.

YOU'RE IN THE AIR
From: Tom Davies (raoul2001@hotmail.com)
Here is a tab for some bits of "You're In the Air" - probably one of my
favourite tracks off of "Up", and therefore, the one no-one has
transcribed yet. (If these tabs don't look like they make sense, it's
because of the unequal spacing for letters in my e-mail program - in a
plain text format (i.e. in Notepad or something like that), the number
of dashes is fine!)
Some of the guitar parts are swamped underneath keyboards and organs and
other antiquated analogue noise, so I haven't got them (yet!).
The main verse riff that accompanies "you wanted a challenge that's
calling you higher" is something like this....
E-------------------|-----------------
B-------------------|-----------------
G-------------------|------------7-9--
D---7-10-7----9-----|---7-10-7-9------
A-0--------10---10--|-0---------------
E-------------------|-----------------
(The two sections are split up so you can easily read them - it's not an
attempt to use bars or anything musical!)
This call and response pattern repeats throughout the verse until, "You
say you want me..." which is then kinda blasted out by the organs and
bass. The general chord pattern is, however....
E-3---3---0---0---3---0----0--------0--
B-2---2---1---1---0---1----1--------1--
G-3---3---0---0---0---2----2--------0--
D-0---0---2---2---0---2----0--------2--
A-X---X---3---3---2---0----2--------3--
E-X---X---X---X---3---0----0--------0--
D / D / C / C / G / Am / Am w/B / C
You may want to just arpeggio these chords loosely until someone knows
what the actual pattern is.
Then into verse two - "brighten the stars, the weather is lifting".
Verse pattern is used again.
The second chorus is the same until the end when there's a little solo
bit (dead easy) which I think Peter plays on his electric sitar. It
goes...
E--------------------------------------------
B-----------------------------13-------------
G--14-14-12-14-14-12-14-14-12----14-12-12-14- (last two notes performed
D-------------------------------------------- in a sweet hammer-on)
A--------------------------------------------
E--------------------------------------------
This is repeated twice and then a final time, with a bit on the end.
E--------------------------------------------|---------
B-----------------------------13-------------|---------
G--14-14-12-14-14-12-14-14-12----14-12-12-14-|-7-9-9--- (more hammer-ons)
D--------------------------------------------|---------
A--------------------------------------------|-------0-
E--------------------------------------------|---------
This open A string then goes straight back into the verse pattern for
verse three - "I want the stars to know they've won".
Etcetera, etcetera.
At the end, as Pete's doing his 'cer-azy' feedback, etc., there is an
alternate bit to the verse pattern, which goes.
E--------------
B--------------
G--------------
D---7-10-7--9--
A-0--------10--
E--------------
And that's as much as I know! Please - someone with a sampler get rid of
all those organs and find out what the nice jangly bits are in the
chorus and the solo bits!
Lyrics:
you wanted a challenge that's calling you higher I landed on my feet by

crawling I
remember standing alone trying to forget you idling I hate to admit that
that's my
reference point but there it is you say you want me
and I am breathing
brighten the staars the weather is lifting the heavens love a love like
this it's pulling
you higher twist it and turn this around it lights from within it
brings a smile I'm lost again I'm lost again
and I am breathing
you
opened up again in
know they win
I'm upside down
you're in the air

To Chris
My name is Adam Bruce and this is the first song I've posted on the net and
I think this site is great. I noticed you were missing the chords and Tab for
You're in the air, so here is the chord sheet. The Tab may follow if I get the time.
Anyway this should make the archive more complete, I think you'll find it is very
close to the actual, but as I'm sure you know some REM song's will never sound perfect
by anyone else because of all the technical changes and mixing. I've had a lot of music
from your site and its very good so keep it up. I also have some small corrections to
make to strange currencies, but I'll do this some other time.
If you ever want to talk REM, or anything else E-mail me any time.
Cheers!

WALK UNAFRAID
tabbed by miKe. (ericseis@hotmail.com)
(N.B. ~~~ = hold note using e-bow.)
Intro:
First just tap and scratch around on the fifteenth(ish) fret, then
a|-------------------------------------------
E|--5~6~~/11~10~~~~/5~6~~~/11~10~~/15~~~~
(this is all played on the bottom string with an e-bow, but lots of
distortion should do the trick just as well.)
Verses:
The chords aren't actually played. In the verses, instead Peter
just uses an e-bow and plays the root notes, i.e.
(A) (F) (A) (F) for the Am F

E|--5~~~~/1~~~~/5~~~~/1~~~~-- progression
and
(D) (C) (D) (C) for the D C
E|--10~~~~/8~~~~/10~~~~/8~~~~-- progression
Peter doesn't this all the time during the verses, sometimes he'll just kinda'
slide up and down a string, making eerie noises, while the bass just thumps out:
(A) (F) (A)

E|--5---5---5-5--5---/1---1---1-1---1---/5- and so on.
Chorus:
The Em - G - D chords are played as normal in the chorus.
And the intro riff twice to end.

Why Not Smile - R.E.M.
(Oxford American Version)

From: Matt Egan (mde1583@rit.edu)
This is a great, mellow tune from the Oxford American Magazine "Why Not Smile."
Here are the lyrics, chords and a bit of tab.
I don't think that this is perfect, but it's a easonable facsimile, and I think
it sounds decent.
This is the first tab that I've posted, so I'd love to hear some feedback. Thanks.

The rest of the song pretty much follows that pattern.

You should probably be able to figure it out.
If not, drop a line, and I'll see what I can do.
At the (*) there is some little fill. It's something like this:

PARAKEET
here's my shot at "parakeet," which i think is the best song on UP.
it's a great sound, great especially for halloween. it was kinda hard
to get the chords considering that there is no guitar in this song
(okay there might be some weird riffs played in the chorus), it's
keyboard transcribed for guitar, so the chords might not be exactly
right, but i think they're pretty close. i know that the bass notes
are right, at least. if the chords don't sound right, try out power
chords, those are alright in this song. in fact, there's one chord
that i'm a little iffy on, and that's the C# in the verses. you be the
judge. i'm pretty sure about the rest. enjoy.
here's that spooky-sounding riff that mike plays on the keyboard in the chorus:
d--1-2-4-5

EMPHYSEMA
this is a cool instrumental, and although there isn't any guitar on the track,
i went ahead and tabbed out the bass and organ or whatever that instrument
is -- accordian? moog synth? i don't know. a note about the tab: the way
its spaced and typed, the organ is above the bass, and the bass notes are
played wherever they're tabbed in relation to the organ -- if a bass note
is directly under an organ note, they're played at the same time. if it's
between two notes, well, i think you can figure it out. i didn't tab out
the organ for the bridge, i figured it'd be too much so i just typed something
else. i think that's it. questions? comments? David Wagner (wagner@mindspring.com)

Its not that she wasnt rewarded..........
Am F C Em
Bridge: F G F G
Chorus: Am C G
She just wants to be somewhere
Am C G
She just wants to be
Lyrics:
It's not that she walked away,

her world got smaller.
All the usual places, the same destinations,
only something's changed.
It's not that she wasn't rewarded

with pomegranate afternoons
and Mingus, Chet Baker and chess.
It's not the stampede and fortune

of prim affectations
she's off on a right and she knows now
it's greater than the whole
of the past
it's greater
and now she knows.

she just wants to be.
It's not that the transparency

of earlier incarnations
now we're back on, we're enriched
and loaded
with beautiful vulnerability
and now she knows.
Now is greater
and she knows that.

Now is greater
now is greater
and she knows that

It's not like the angels

could truly look down
stir up the trappings
and light on the ground.
Remind us of what, when,
why or who?
The how's up to us, me and you
and now is greater than the whole
of the past
is greater and now she knows that.
Now she knows.

DISAPPEAR
Am
I dragged my feet across the seat
Jumped out the passenger side
The only thing worth looking for
Is what you find inside
C Bm Am
But that had not yet appeared
Am
Lost invisible here.
Tel Aviv and Agadir
Toned in for almost
Before I learned to see
C Bm Am
The vanishing point appeared.
G D C Bm Em
I looked for you everywhere.
G D C Bm Em
Am
There is a calm, I haven't come to the end
I spent half my life figuring what comes next
I telescoped in I finally win
I finally win the prize.
C Bm Am
That now eyes see comets perfect timing squeeze
Am
Head first fighting everything
The crushing force of memory
Erasing all i've been
C Bm Am
The vanishing point appeared.
G D C Bm Em
G D C Bm Em
G D C Bm Em
Tell me why you're here
G D C Bm Em
I came to disappear.

Can you believe it?
Am I living in the beautiful vacuum?
Because I can't see it

Easy to poke yourself square in the eye
Harder to like yourself, harder to try
These are espouses
Postcards and neoprene
Roses a dollar a stem
Everyone’s sleeping or pulling the long haul and
Keys in the cooler its three A.M.
And Saturn is beckoning no one

It’s off on its own
It’s offering up
Late shift can bring in store, burn out the lights

Telescope roof towards the northwestern sky
You pulled the ladder and no one's the wiser
You find your sights and discover
Saturn is orbiting nothing

He’s off on its own
He’s breaking from home
Harder to look yourself square in the eye

Easy to take off
You found the ladder in the pattern of your wrist

You’ve seen and you’ve marked horizons
Mother was difficult, she made you cry
Cover the mirror, look to the sky
You climbed into your rocketship trying
Lift up and hold out your hands


Saturn returns when you chase down, it slows

Throw them into a new gravity
Harder to look yourself square in the eye
Easy to poke yourself, easy as pie
Easy to take off, harder to fly
Harder to wake Galileo

Mercury is rising still

Turn the fan on high
I won't step on my own shadow

No one wants to cry.
Someone put a pox on me

I spit in their eyes
Summer turns to high.
Lift my bed sheet keep in sandles

Circle search and there are candles
Summer's here but night is raising hopes and dragonflies
If those hopes are overshadowed

cotton-candy, caramel-wafer.
Summer turns to high

Summer high
After wine and nectarines the fireflies in turn

Move like syrup through the evening with the sweet resign
I won't fight for can't happen
I'm preoccupied

Summer high.

Lyrics:
hey there now young one

you swing alone, quote the scriptures,
keep them guessing which bed you crawled from
justify, just deny

was it fun?
your time has come
what have you done?
what have you done?
that's when the insults start to sting

you can't remember anything
the chorus chiming
every chorus the machine of God
singin'.
it's the poison that it measures

brings illuminating vision
it's the knowing with the wink
that we expect in Southern women
it's the wolf that knows which trip to dip to save its soul
it's the octopus that crawled back to the sea.

the chorus chiming
every chorus the machine of God
hey.....
hammered, shooting plywood in the backyard

laughing 'cause the racket makes the blackbird sing
like the holy terror
suck the marrow from the bone
since you're always burning books
you got the chorus and the ring

the chorus chiming
every chorus the machine sings.

the chorus chiming
every chorus the machine sings.
that's when the calibration brittle

as a stick hits you
the gold ring in the time museum
cheaper than a link
gold ring
gold ring.
sing.
sing.
sing.
sing.

Tonight's alive
The beachball is set to fly
Those well-tequilla-guzzled smiles of strangers.
I ____________
I ____________
You give a little sneeze and dance the rhu-rhu-rhu-rhu-rhumba
This life is sweet.

You're dancin' in the street.
Who knows who we might meet?
You're too fine.
The little weekend's here.

Thursday has an ear.
Her coffee-clash career, she talks to strangers.
And kissing by the sea.

Particular to me.
Tea ___________ sing and dance the rhu-rhu-rhu-rhu-rhumba.
This life is sweet.

You're dancin' in the street.
Who knows who, you and me
You're too fine.
We flash the seaside sky

with starfish butterflies
to cast a spell and
welcome locals
weekenders and strangers.
You're too fine.

You're too fine.
You're too fine.

Chords for this part: Em D G Am
A man walks away when every muscle says to stay

How many yesterdays - they each weigh heavy
Who says what changes may come?
Who says what we call home?
I know you see right through me, my luminescence fades
The dusk provides an antidote, I am not afraid
I've been a million times in my mind
This is really just a technicality, frailty, reality
Uh, it's time to breathe, time to believe

Let it go and run towards the sea
They don't teach that, they don't know what you mean
They don't understand, they don't know what you mean
They don't get it, I wanna scream
I wanna breathe again, I wanna dream
I wanna float a quote from Martin Luther King
I am not afraid
I am not afraid
I am not afraid
I am not afraid
I am not afraid
I am not afraid
I am not afraid

Make It All Ok
Intro: F
F Am Dm C
You threw away the ballast and you rowed your boat ashore
Gm C /|
Didn't you, now? Didn't you? / |
F Am Dm C |
You made your ultimatum too big to ignore __|
Gm C
Didn't you, now? Didn't you?
Am
So you worked out your excuses,
D
turned away and shut the door.
Am __
The world's too vast for us now, | |
D /
and you wanted to explore /
Em C |__|
It's a long, long long road
Em C
And I don't know which way to go
Em Dm C Bb
If you offered me your hand again I'd have to walk away.
When I saw you at the street fair, you called out my name /|
You said we could start over, try and make it all okay. |
Didn't you, now? Didn't you? __|
So our past has been rewritten

and you threw away the pen. __
You'd said that I was useless, | |
but now you'll take me in again /
Well Jesus loves me fine. /
And your words fall flat this time. |__|
Was it my imagination, or did I hear you say,
"We don't have a prayer between us."
Didn't you believe that I have finally turned away? /|

Anything to hold onto to help me through my day. |
Didn't you, now? Didn't you? __|
Am D
Jesus loves me fine.
Am D
But his words fall flat this time.
Em C
It's a long, long long road
Em C
And I don't know which way to go
Em C
If you offered me your world, did you think I'd really stay?
Em C
If you offered me the heavens, I would have to turn away.
Em Dm C
Was it my imagination, or did I hear you say,
Bb
"We don't have a prayer between us."
Bb Bb
Didn't you, now? Didn't you, now?

If I look I'm not sure that I could face you. |__|
Am C Dm
Not again. Not today. Not today.
If hatred makes a play on me tomorrow /|

And forgiveness takes a back seat to revenge / |
There's a hurt down deep that has not been corrected |
There's a voice in me that says you will not win. __|
__
And if I ignore the voice inside, | |
Raise a half glass to my home. /
But it's there that I am most afraid, /
And forgetting doesn't hold. It doesn't hold. |__|

Now I don't believe and I never did

That two wrongs make a right.
F
If the world were filled with the likes of you

Then I'm putting up a fight. Putting up a fight.
Dm Am C Dm
Putting up a fight. Make it right. Make it right.
Now love cannot be called into question. /|

Forgiveness is the only hope I hold. / |
And love... love will be my strongest weapon. |
I do believe that I am not alone. __|
__
For this fear will not destroy me. | |
And the tears that have been shed /
It's knowing now where I am weakest /
And the voice in my head. In my head. |__|
__
Then I raise my voice up higher | |
And I look you in the eye /
And I offer love with one condition. /
With conviction, tell me why. |__|
Tell me why.
Am
Tell me why.
C
Look me in the eye.
Dm
Tell me why.

Verse:
B
It's only when your poison spins into the life you'd hoped to live
A
and suddenly you wake up in a shaken panic now
B
You had set me up like a lamb to slaughter
Garbo as a farmer's daughter
Unbelievable, the gospel according to who?

A
I lay right down
Chorus:
F#
All your sad and lost apostles
A E
hum my name and flare their nostrils
F# A A/Ab/G/F#
Choking on the bones you tossed to them
F#
now I'm not one to sit and spin
A E
because living well's the best revenge
D A E
Baby, I am calling you on that
Verse:
B
Don't turn your talking points on me.
History will set me free

A
The future is ours and you don't even rate a footnote now!
B
So who's chasing you? Where did you go?
You disappear mid-sentence
In a judgement crisis I see my in and go for it

A
You weakened shill.

At the summer camp where you volunteered
D A Em G
No one saw your face, no one saw your fear
D A Em A
If that apparition, it just appeared
D A Em G
Took you up and away from this space
D A Em A D A Em G
In sheer humiliation, of your teenage station

Nobody cares, no one remembers

In the verse it seems that Peter does not hit the high e string but he
strums every chord once and then the stays at the melodic strings til the
next chord.

D5 Am7 Fill1
I've gotta get that out of my head
D Am7 C G
It's a new day today and the coffee is strong
D Am7 Fill11
I finally got some rest
So a man's put to task and challenges

I was taught to hold my head high
Collect what is mine,
Make the best of what today has
D* C* Fill2
Houston is filled with promise
D* C*
Laredo's a beautiful place
D* C* Fill2
and Galveston sings like that song that I loved
F G
Its meaning has not been erased
And so there are claims forgiven

And so there are things that are gone
Houston is filled with promise

Laredo is a beautiful place
and Galveston sings like that song that I loved
Its meaning has not been erased
F
And some things, they fall to the wayside
G D5
Their memory is yet to be stilled
F
Belief has not failed me
G D5
And so I am put to the test

(Verse chords)
Sinking fast, the weight chained to my feet

No time to argue with belief
I'm not alone, a thousand others dropping
Faster than me
What put me here?
Nothing to hold on to
Nowhere to brake
(Chorus Chords)
Where is the ripcord, the trapdoor, the key?

Where is the cartoon escape-hatch for me?
No time to question the choices I make
(END OF CHORUS chords)
I've got to follow another direction (although fall down is much cooler)
(Verse chords)
The last thing I remember was climbing up the stairs

I threw the window open in challenge and despair
I don't know what I needed
I needed time
I needed to escape
I saw the future turn
Upside-down and hesitate.
(Chorus Chords)

I've got to follow another direction
*F#* *A* *G*
Accelerate.
(Verse chords)
The vista I see now is changing

Uncertainty is suffocating
Our hope has never felt so great and
Lit up down
A pounding pulse
To make it go
Make it slow down,
Go.
(Chorus Chords)

I've got to follow another direction.
(Verse chords)
The city's burning, it's like it's ready to explode

Accelerate to make it slow
Make it go
Accelerate to make it slow
Make it go
I'm incomplete
I'm incomplete
I'm incomplete.

Song: SING FOR THE SUBMARINE
opening/verse chord progression:
Bm C/Bm
It feels in dreams
That everything is there for you
The city breathes and pulses
It's fuel electron blue
I knew that you could see right through it

So this is where I give in to the machine
Lift up your voice feel gravity's pull
Drown out the siren's ring (or silent dream)
Oh...
Am
It's all here where I keep it
Dm
It's all in the submarine
Am
It's all a lot less frightening
Dm
than you would have had it be
Am
But that's the good news my darling
Dm
It is what it's going to be
B Bb G Em
So sing, sing for the submarine
Back to verse:
I tried to explain how it all begins

How its all destroyed and built again
I knew that you could not believe me
But now you're here and it's different
How the light shines in your eyes
In every second or situ
It's then that I realised
That the world as we know it
The High speed train
We'll pick it all up and start again
Chorus Chords:

Break Down: F# B-Bb D-C# C#-D-E5-F#
Back to verse chords:
The city did not collapse in a shudder

The rain it never came
At least my confessions made you laugh
I know it's a little crazed
But these dreams...
they seem so real to me
CHORUS:
So this is where you trust me

And this where it begins
Your tear you let it in
Tyrel and his mechanical owl
A moth disguised as a leaf...
Don't tell me what tomorrow brings
Climb into the hidden machine and
sing sing sing sing sing sing
sing sing for the submarine
"Horse To Water"
B
I could have kept my head down
B
I might have kept my mouth shut
B
I should have held my own,
B
You lead a horse to water and you watch him drown.
SAME PROGRESSION AGAIN:

You're only as big as your battles.
Rattle my cage with your shadow.
I'm a phantom-weight with a mouth full of feathers,
Don't you know that what comes around goes around?
Em B
I'm not that easy,
A5 B
I am not your horse to water.
Em B A5
I hold my breath I come around, round, round.
VERSE PROGRESSION AGAIN:
Don't darken my doorstep again,

You're mixing up living in chin-chin,
You're mixing up lose with win-win,
You lead a horse to water and you watch him drown.
You stumble on glass top table,

TV's chewing shock-gone cable
Pump me up a beanstalk fable
And I'll call this entertainment
'cause Humpty's falling down.
CHORUS:
I'm not that easy,
VERSE
Pick a fight an ultra-buzzy bubble
Friday night fuckin' fried-up pub crawl
Phantom-weight with a mouth full of feathers,
Don't you know that what comes around goes around?
CHORUS
I'm not that easy,
It's not that easy

I am not your horse to water
I hold my breath, I come around, round, round

The whole song is just 3 chords in one constant progression
Em G5 A5 G5
Listen to the song to get the strum pattern
Solo:
G---15b-14-12 (repeat as much as necessary)
lyrics:
Out there are silver dressed darlings
And ramen mein delights
When ginger hair gets all fired up
She beats them in the night
That redhead walking, uh
Don't get close
She'll warn you with her growl
She's a bud cuttin', star studded, leather chested girl
Out there a redhead walkin'
Redhead walkin'
The redhead walkin'
Better listen keep your distance from the crimson crime warpath
O kiss that girl
Kiss that girl
Kiss that girt
Yeah, she'll cut your heart like diamonds
End of story
You bet you're gonna lose it to that hellbound crimson glory
There — a redhead walkin'
A redhead walkin'
A redhead walkin'
Heed what this wise man says
Keep away from redheads…
(Stipe Screams) AAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(Ow! that hurt!)
