I always wonder why did we bother?
Distanced from one, deaf to the other.

Dm C G
Gm Bb Gm Bb
Monty this seems strange to me, the movies had that movie thing
Gm Bb Dm C G
But nonsense has a welcome ring and heros don't come easy
Gm Bb Gm Bb
Now nonsense isn't new to me, I know my head I know my feet
Gm Bb Dm C G Dm C G
But mischief knocked me in the knees so just let go, just let go
Gm Bb Gm Bb
I saw the ocean meet the man, I saw you buried in the sand
Gm Bb Dm C G
A friend was there to hold my hand, so walk on by
Gm Bb Gm Bb
So I went walking through the stream, I saw you strung up in a tree
Gm Bb Dm C G Dm C G
A woman out there said to me, said hold your tongue, hold your tongue
Bb Dm C G Bb Dm C G
You don't owe me anything, you don't want this sympathy [waste your breath]
Bb Dm C Dm C G
Don't you waste your breath [waste your breath] for the silver screen
Gm Bb Gm Bb
That nonsense doesn't mean a thing, they tried to bust you in a sting
Gm Bb Dm C G
But virtue isn't everything so don't waste time
Gm Bb Gm Bb
Now Here's a rhyme that you must hear, put this on your reel to reel
Gm Bb Dm C G Dm C G
Mischief through a rotten deal, Monty's laying low, he is laying low
Dm C G Dm C G
Just let go, just let go
Bb Dm C G Bb Dm C G
You don't owe me anything, you don't want this sympathy [waste your breath]
Bb Dm C Bb Dm C G
Don't you waste your breath [waste your breath] Monty this seems strange to me

SO. CENTRAL RAIN ("In The Attic" Version)
Well, I've bought the "new" (actually, it's a EMI compilation)
R.E.M. album, and I heard that "Time After Time/Red Rain/So. Central Rain"
live medley that contains a really nice version of "So. Central Rain".
It's just Michael singing and Peter playing.
To play this version, just replace the C on the bass solo:
e --0---------------
B ----1-----1-------
G ------------(0)---
D ------0h2---------
A -3--------------3-
and the G on the other bass solo:
e ---3---------
B -----3-------
G -----------0-
D -------------
A -------0h2---
E -3-----------
(actually, Peter doesn't play this way, but I think
this way is OK, too!)
Play the other chords in harmonics.

At night I drink myself to sleep and pretend
I don't care if you're not here with me
'Cause it's so much easier to handle
All my problems if I'm too far out to sea
But something better happen soon
Or it's gonna be too late to bring you back
E D B A B
It's not as though I really need you
E F#m B A B
If you were here I'd only bleed you
F#m C#m F#m C#m A

(DON'T GO BACK TO) ROCKVILLE (Version 2)
transcribed by Jeff Elkins (jeff.elkins@nashville.com)
Corrections/additions always welcome.
This is my first post. I transcribe for myself quite frequently (solo or
duo acoustic arrangements), but don't usually put it down on paper (or
computer). I decided that it was time to share! Here's a tune that was
re-done by 10,000 Maniacs - further evidence of it's _timelessness_, in my
opinion.
* = fretted note play all strings marked "o", mute (or don't
@ = add for 4th play) strings marked "x"
% = add for 2nd

Performance Notes:
I play this with many open strings except in the REFRAIN, which is
really straight bar chords. The F#m in the chorus is probably a straight
F#m bar chord - Mike Mills plays the low F# on bass. BUT, I prefer to play
the following F#m7add4 chord (because it "jangles" and sounds fuller than
the bar chord):
F#m7+4 xooooo
------
6|||*|| <-- These two notes slide up
||*||| <-- from the E chord...
||||||
finger with your pinky --> |*||||
[If you use this chord, you will definitely want to play the "B.."]
In order to play this all on guitar (there is a piano in the
verses) you need to add notes to the E and A. chords - the E chord bounces
off-and-on an A note (the 4th) and an F# note (the 2nd) in the verse. The
A. does likewise with a D note (4th) and the open B string/note
(2nd).
This song is NOT that complicated. To start out, play the song
without all the 4th's, 2nd's, etc., and get a feel for it (stress the 2nd
and 4th beats). Then, play around with it until _YOU_ like the way that it
sounds.

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
Green grow the rushes go
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
Green grow the rushes go
Green grow the rushes go
Green grow the rushes go
The compass points the workers home

CUYAHOGA (Version 1)
There are two ways to play the intro riff. The more accurate way is to tune
your low E string down to D. If you want to be able to play normal chord
shapes, though, this way is better:

D(4) 0-----0-----0-|
A(5) |--5-----5-5-----|--2-------2-----|--5-5---5-5-----|

Lyrics:
Let's put our heads together and start a new country up
Our father's father's father tried, erased the parts he didn't like
Let's try to fill it in, bank the quarry river, swim
We knee-skinned it you and me, we knee-skinned that river red
This is where we walked, this is where we swam
Take a picture here, take a souvenir
This land is the land of ours, this river runs red over it
We knee-skinned it you and me, we knee-skinned that river red
And we gathered up our friends, bank the quarry river, swim
We knee-skinned it you and me, underneath the river bed
This is where we walked, this is where we swam
Take a picture here, take a souvenir
Cuyahoga
Cuyahoga, gone
Let's put our heads together, start a new country up,
Underneath the river bed we burned the river down.
This is where they walked, swam, hunted, danced and sang,
Take a picture here, take a souvenir
Cuyahoga
Cuyahoga, gone
Rewrite the book and rule the pages, saving face, secured in faith
Bury, burn the waste behind you
This land is the land of ours, this river runs red over it
We are not your allies, we can not defend
This is where they walked, this is where they swam
Take a picture here, take a souvenir
Cuyahoga
Cuyahoga, gone
Cuyahoga
Cuyahoga, gone

Play these 4-bars twice over the verse sections, and one over the last 4-bars
of the bridge. This part is only an 'idea', all occurances of Guitar3 differ.
Play notes on the high strings with up/down strokes, let all notes ring.
TAB Key
--------
b - bend a semitone (1 fret)
h - hammer on
p - pulloff
/ - slide up
\ - slide down
rake - exagerate the strumming of the chord
(but not enough for it to be an arpeggio)
Notes
------
Guitar1 is heavily distorted and plays power chords over each
chorus (and first beat of each verse). It is also used in the
first 4 bars of each bridge.
Guitar2 plays the main parts. The sound is quite clean - with a
little processing (maybe a chorus effect). Let all notes ring.
The intro and choruses may have been double tracked (*). The solo
uses Em pentatonic - around the open position.
Guitar3 appears in the verses and last 4 bars of the bridge, both
parts are similar. It consists of first position, Em and Dsus2
chords - played in an acoustic/delta blues style, emphasising open
strings.
This part isn't obvious, but it adds to the record - filling the
sparse melody lines played by Guitar2. This is played freely. I
didn't imagine anybody wanting to wade through loads of freestyle
rhythm guitar TAB, for a part thats barely noticeable on a casual
listen. I've only included a sanitised example of the style used.
Feel is more important than the exact choice of notes, which vary
throughout.
The stereo mix makes isolating guitar parts, difficult. Listening
to each stereo channel separately makes things clearer.
The guitars in the intro and choruses appear in both channels.
In the verses, Guitar1 and Guitar3 are in the right channel, and
Guitar2 in the left channel.
The guitar solo appears in both channels, but is strongest in the
left.
In the Bridge, Guitar1 is found in both channels, Guitar2 in the
left and Guitar3 in the right channel.

IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT (AND I FEEL FINE)
(lyrics from official lyric sheet)
G Cmaj7
That's great, it starts with an earthquake,
G Cmaj7
birds and snakes, an aeroplane - Lenny Bruce is not afraid.
G
Eye of a hurricane, listen to yourself churn
Cmaj7
world serves its own needs, don't misserve your own needs.
G
Feed it up a knock, speed, grunt no, strength no.
Cmaj7
Ladder structure clatter with fear of height, down height.
Bb
Wire in a fire, represent the seven games
Am
in a government for hire and a combat site.
G Cmaj7
Left her, wasn't coming in a hurry with the furies breathing down your neck.
G
Team by team reporters baffled, trump, tethered crop.
Cmaj7
Look at that low plane! Fine then.
G Cmaj7
Uh oh, overflow, population, common group, but it'll do.
Save yourself, serve yourself.
G
World serves its own needs, listen to your heart bleed.
Cmaj7
Tell me with the rapture and the reverent in the right - right.
Bb Am
You vitriolic, patriotic, slam, fight, bright light, feeling pretty psyched.
G Dsus2 Am
It's the end of the world as we know it

(*You could use either a D, D/G, or a G here, whatever suits you best.)
Maybe tonight you're cryin
Like a poor wounded dove
Tell me you'll soon be flying
Into the Arms, into the arms of love
Maybe tonight you're takin
You couldn't get enough
Honey you'll soon be wakin'
Into the Arms, into the arms of Love
[Interlude, use same three lines of chords that run through the sung verse.]
Maybe the world is falling
It wasn't strong enough
Tell me you'll soon be crawling
Into the Arms, into the arms of Love

FIRST WE TAKE MANHATTAN (Leonard Cohen)
Dm Am
They sentenced me to twenty years of boredom
Dm Am
For trying to change the system from within
Dm Am
I'm coming now I'm coming to reward them
G F E Am
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin
Dm Am
I'm guided by a signal in the heavens
Dm Am
I'm guided by this birthmark on my skin
Dm Am
I'm guided by the beauty of our weapons
G F E Am
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin
C G F
I'd really like to live beside you, baby
C Am
I love your body and your spirit and your clothes
C Am
But you see that line there moving through the station
G F E Am
I told you I told you I told you I was one of those
Dm Am
You loved me as a loser but now your worried that I just might win
Dm Am
You know the way to stop me but you don't have the discipline
Dm Am
How many nights I prayed for this: to let my work begin
G F E Am
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin
Dm Am
I don't like your fashion business, mister
Dm Am
I don't like these drugs that keep you thin
Dm Am
I don't like what happened to your sister
G F E Am
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin (chorus)
Dm Am
And I thank you for those items that you sent me
Dm Am
The monkey and the plywood violin
Dm Am
I practiced every night and now I'm ready
G F E Am
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin
Dm Am
Remember me, I used to live for music
Dm Am
Remember me, I brought your groceries in
Dm Am
It's Father's Day and everybody's wounded
G F E Am
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin

Lyrics:
He's got his work, and she comes easy
They each come around when the other is gone
Me, I think I got stuck somewhere in between
I wouldn't confide in the prodigal son,
The dye has been cast, the battle is won
The bullets were blanks, a double locked gun
I couldn't admit to a minute of fun.
And they come and they come and they come
I accept it with a gentle tongue
No words spoken, no beat is skipped
Take it, stomp twice, ring bell
Tether that ringing, freeze
Enough with the rifle and talk already
We all know what it means
Take this conversation to your great divide
I can only swallow what I ate,
And I don't hate him, and I don't hate her.
And they come and they come and they come
I accept it with a gentle tongue
No heart broken, no ? kept
Don't talk to me about being alone
Don't talk to me about being alone
Don't talk to me about being alone
Reach for each other before you leave
Reach peace, P-E-A-C-E
Don't threaten me with a gentle tease,
Don't threaten me with angry
Please please please don't try to tell me what I am
And they come and they come and they come
I accept it with a gentle tongue
No words spoken, no ? except
Don't talk to me about being alone
Don't talk to me about being alone
Don't talk to me about being alone....

well, that's it. I'm not too sure about the "don't talk to me" part...I

We all know what it means
Take this conversation to your great divide
I can only swallow what I ate,
And I don't hate him, and I don't hate her.
And they come and they come and they come
I accept it with a gentle tongue
No heart broken, no ? kept
Don't talk to me about being alone
Don't talk to me about being alone
Don't talk to me about being alone
Reach for each other before you leave
Reach peace, P-E-A-C-E
Don't threaten me with a gentle tease,
Don't threaten me with angry
Please please please don't try to tell me what I am
And they come and they come and they come
I accept it with a gentle tongue
No words spoken, no ? except
Don't talk to me about being alone
Don't talk to me about being alone
Don't talk to me about being alone....

usually just use a D with a walking down bass line, and it sounds
alright, although it's wrong.

FIRST WE TAKE MANHATTAN (Leonard Cohen)
Dm Am
They sentenced me to twenty years of boredom
Dm Am
For trying to change the system from within
Dm Am
I'm coming now I'm coming to reward them
G F E Am
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin
Dm Am
I'm guided by a signal in the heavens
Dm Am
I'm guided by this birthmark on my skin
Dm Am
I'm guided by the beauty of our weapons
G F E Am
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin
C G F
I'd really like to live beside you, baby
C Am
I love your body and your spirit and your clothes
C Am
But you see that line there moving through the station
G F E Am
I told you I told you I told you I was one of those
Dm Am
You loved me as a loser but now your worried that I just might win
Dm Am
You know the way to stop me but you don't have the discipline
Dm Am
How many nights I prayed for this: to let my work begin
G F E Am
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin
Dm Am
I don't like your fashion business, mister
Dm Am
I don't like these drugs that keep you thin
Dm Am
I don't like what happened to your sister
G F E Am
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin (chorus)
Dm Am
And I thank you for those items that you sent me
Dm Am
The monkey and the plywood violin
Dm Am
I practiced every night and now I'm ready
G F E Am
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin
Dm Am
Remember me, I used to live for music
Dm Am
Remember me, I brought your groceries in
Dm Am
It's Father's Day and everybody's wounded

First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin

Lyrics:
He's got his work, and she comes easy
They each come around when the other is gone
Me, I think I got stuck somewhere in between
I wouldn't confide in the prodigal son,
The dye has been cast, the battle is won
The bullets were blanks, a double locked gun
I couldn't admit to a minute of fun.
And they come and they come and they come
I accept it with a gentle tongue
No words spoken, no beat is skipped
Take it, stomp twice, ring bell
Tether that ringing, freeze
Enough with the rifle and talk already
We all know what it means
Take this conversation to your great divide
I can only swallow what I ate,
And I don't hate him, and I don't hate her.
And they come and they come and they come
I accept it with a gentle tongue
No heart broken, no ? kept
Don't talk to me about being alone
Don't talk to me about being alone
Don't talk to me about being alone
Reach for each other before you leave
Reach peace, P-E-A-C-E
Don't threaten me with a gentle tease,
Don't threaten me with angry
Please please please don't try to tell me what I am
And they come and they come and they come
I accept it with a gentle tongue
No words spoken, no ? except
Don't talk to me about being alone
Don't talk to me about being alone
Don't talk to me about being alone....

those wherever and whenever you like. That final harmonic is my "personal

I'm not sure but I think that in the last line of each verse, it sounds like there's an extra chord that's not in your version.
I think there's an F# after the first A, like this:

SPONGE (Vic Chesnutt) from Sweet Relief II (Last Updated: 8/23/96)
From: Trygve Sandven Håland (trygve@bitcon.no)
I bought the "Sweet Relief II" album just the other day, and I have just
listened to it a couple of times, but I tried playing along to Sponge,
and it sounded like they played something like Dm Bb for the verses and
Dm F for the chorus (or vice versa). The Dm's may also have been Dsus2
(that is x00230).
Lyrics:
pleasure is melting like chocolate
my blue ribbon gumption is gone
all my gravy must have soaked into something
and the world...
the filthy steps, the cold concrete
the phony earth below my feet
the ancient odor of the streets
yes the world it is a sponge
and when the crisis passes
when the coast is clear
I'll be buffed down to a liquid
and the world it is a sponge
throughout this entire ugly outing
I've been mumbling the convex of what I should be shouting
but I'll soon be silent you'll soon hear nothing
'cause the world it is a sponge
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.

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:

ACADEMY FIGHT SONG (Mission of Burma)
Lyrics From: Evan (baka@flash.net)
Verse progression:
1 & 2 & 3 & 4 &
A5 - - B5 - - (x4)
1 & 2 & 3 & 4 &
D5 - - B5 - - (x2)
1 & 2 & 3 & 4 &
A5 - - B5 - - (x2)
(play that whole thing twice for each verse; - means strum on that beat)
Chorus progression:
F#5 G5 E5 A5 (one measure on each of these chords).
Break:
The bass line (just make power chords over it) is something like:
A---9---9-7---7-5---5-4---4-2---2-5---5---???
(Verse)
Walking to my room
Ask me jerky questions
Don't mean what you say
Immaculate protection
(Verse)
Play by all the rules
So close to the chest
Show that all's not lost
And this is not a waste.
(Chorus)
Stay just as far from me as me from you.
Make sure that you are sure of everything I do.
'Cause I'm not, not, not, not, not, not, not, not
Knockin' on
Your academy
(Verse)
The halls smell like piss
The rooms are underlit
Still it must be nice
You're such a perfect fit
(Verse)
What's that I hear?
The sound of marching feet
It has a strange alure,
It has a strange... alure
(Chorus)
Stay just as far from me as me from you.
Make sure that you are sure of everything I do.
'Cause I'm not, not, not, not, not, not, not, not
Knockin' on
Your academy
Your academy
(Break)
(Chorus chords)
Maybe you're right,
I shouldn't judge
What's wrong or right,
This is too much
I'm not judging you,
I'm judging me.
And my academy.
Your academy
My academy.
Your academy
BABY BABY (The Vibrators)
From: David Wagner (102017.1777@CompuServe.COM)
intro:
C#m A (slide up to a) B (8x)
be sure to pick through those chords!
verse: (mmmm...you're so pretty...)
A E B (3x) , then
C#m A B
chorus: (baby, baby, baby...)
E A B (4x)
the solo chords are the same as the intro (just don't pick through them here)
after the solo, do the chorus 8 times (i think) and fade out...
Lyrics:
Mmmm...You're so pretty
Not to talk to you would be a crime
Let me put my arms around you
Just wanna use up a little of your time
And I'm going...
Baby baby baby
Baby baby baby
Baby baby baby
Won't you be my girl?
You're eyes, they're so pretty
The clothes you wear, so fine
Won't you come around to my place
Just wanna use up a little of your time
And I'm going...
Baby baby baby
Baby baby baby
Baby baby baby
Won't you be my girl?
Come on, come on, come on
[SOLO]
Baby baby baby
Won't you be my girl?
Baby baby baby
Won't you be my girl?
Baby baby baby
Won't you be my girl?
Baby baby baby
Won't you be my girl?
Baby baby baby
Won't you be my girl?
Baby baby baby
Won't you be my girl?
Baby baby baby
Won't you be my girl?

CHRISTMAS TIME IS HERE
once again, these chords are pretty rough, since there is no guitar in the
song, just piano and drums. but i gave it my best shot, and here's what i
came up with:
verse:
F Bbm F Bbm
Fmaj7 G/B Bbm F
bridge:
C G#7 C G#7
Cmaj7 A Bb Bb
it'd probably sound better if you used these as bass notes instead of
playing the actual chords. any corrections are much appreciated and
proably more correct than these.

the guitar in the ending is out of tune, that's why it sounds so weird. i
wouldn't be surprised if they were drunk when they recorded this...

silver bells, silver bells
it's christmas time in the city
ring-a-ling, hear them ring
soon it will be christmas day

hear the snow crunch, see the kids bunch
this is santa's big scene
and above all this bustle, you'll hear...

Solo:
Verse-1:
Ending: Repeat last line with prog-3 again, then
repeat last line with prog-3b, very slowly.
(It's nice to add a descending scale between the
F9+6 & E7+5 chords. Try an Fmaj scale from middle-F,
and ending on the low-E.)

TOYLAND
i gave this one a try and the chords i got sound pretty rough. there's a
slim chance that these chords are right -- any corrections would be much
appreciated (and more correct than these chords, most likely).
A/C# B
Toyland, toyland
A E
Dear little girl and boy land
Fm C
While you dwell within it
A/C# C
you are ever happy there
(chords same as before)
Childhood's toyland
mystic and merry toyland
once you pass its borders
you can never return again
(repeat each "stanza" again)
NOTE: it would probably be better to substitute power chords or bass notes
with the chords in here. by bass notes, i mean that the bass line for one
verse would be this:
C# B A E F C C# C (repeat)
or something along those lines. if you use power chords, these would
probably work the best in this song:
A/C#: X422XXX
B: X2440X
A: X022XXX
E: 022XXX
Fm: X331XX
C: X355XX

i know that the two lines have the same chords in the same order, but their
timing is different. the second time, you hold the Bm longer, so it's
kinda like this:

lyrics:
World was on fire
No one could save me but you.
Strange what desire make foolish people do
I never dreamed that I'd meet somebody like you
I never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you
No, I don't want to fall in love
[This girl is only gonna break your heart]
No, I don't want to fall in love
[This girl is only gonna break your heart]
With you
With you
What a wicked game to play
To make me feel this way
What a wicked thing to do
To let me dream of you
What a wicked thing to say
You never felt this way
What a wicked thing to do
To make me dream of you
And I wanna fall in love
[This girl is only gonna break your heart]
And I don't want to fall in love
[This girl is only gonna break your heart]
World was on fire
No one could save me but you
Strange what desire make foolish people do
I never dreamed that I'd love somebody like you
I never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you
And I wanna fall in love
[This girl is only gonna break your heart]

HOT JAVA
this is a really cool song that REM played a lot during their 1995 monster
tour. they introduced the band during this song most of the time.
unless you (or someone you know) have a bootleg from the tour with this
song on it, or have an extremely rare cd that only
you know about, you'll probably have a really hard time finding a
copy of this song. this transcription is according to the 11/21/95 show.
this song has a real old-1920's country feel to it; i think it was
originally by floyd cranmer, but i may be wrong...
intro: Bm (strum pattern: down, quickly 7 times, then...)
D--0-0--0-2-4-5
verse: (4 beats per chord, unless otherwise noted)
G G G D
G G7 G (2 beats) Em (2b) C(1b) D(1b)
hot java, goodbye dixie cup
hey neighbor (peter?), do you have a cup of sugar i can borrow?
bridge:
Bm Em Bm Em
Am D A(strum pattern: down down, down down down) D
let's hear it for luscious jackson!!! (opening act of the show)
closing: see intro

I WILL SURVIVE
in this song, play a B7 like this: X21200
Am F
first i was afraid, i was petrified
G C
left again, i couldn't live without you by my side
F B7
but then i spent so many nights thinking how you did me wrong
E E
and i grew stong, and i learned how to get along
Am
so you're back, from outer space
G C
i just walked in to find you with that sad look upon your face
F
i should've changed that stupid lock,
B7
i should've made you leave your key
E
if i'd have known for just one second you'd be back to bother me
Am F
now go, walk out the door
G C
just turn around now, 'cause you're not welcome anymore
F B7
cause you're the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye
E
you think i'd crumble? did you think i'd lay down and die?
Am F
no, not I, i will survive
G C F B7
(that's all the words i know)
F
i will survive
Am F
go on, now, go, walk out that door
G C
just turn around now, you're not welcome anymore
F B7
weren't you the one who tried to break me with goodbye?
E
did you think i'd crumble? you think i'd lay down and die?
Am F
no, not i, i will survive
G C
as long as i know how to love, i know i'll stay alive
F B7
i've got all my life to live, i've got all my love to give
E
i will survive
Am F G C F B7
i will survive, i will survive
E
you think i'd crumble? you think i'd break down and die?
Am F G C
no, not i, i will survive
F B7 E
i will survive
(spoken by stipe:) Am

ONLY IN AMERICA (JAY AND THE AMERICANS)
This song is on the "Canadian Bacon" soundtrack. Good luck finding it, though,
because it's never been released. This was played on the REM Radio Hour on
November 3, 1996.
Intro:
E (power chord w/ distortion)
E D E D
E D E D
Only in America, can a guy from anywhere

D A D A
Only in America, land of opportunity, yeah
Bm A G A

take a giant step and reach right up and touch the stars
A G A G
Only in America, would a dream like this come true

could a guy like me start with nothing and end up like yoooooooooooooooooooooou
Solo: (see chords in first two parts of song for rhythm guitar --

during that ending there, Peter plays a riff over and over. it's in the same
area as the solo, pretty much.
WOLVES, LOWER
Transcription by: Marc van der Geest (marc@football.demon.nl)
intro/verse riff:
e:---0-------0------0-------0----0---------0---0---0---0---0----0----0-|
B:-8---8-/10--10--8---8-/10--10--8/10--10-------0---0-------0----0-----|
G:-9-----/11------9-----/11------9/11--11----9---8---6-----------------|
D:-------------------------------------------------------7----9----9---|
A:---------------------------------------------------------------------|
E:---------------------------------------------------------------------|
Repeat this several times. Then, as you continue into the 'in a corner
garden' part, you play this:
e:---0-----5-4-----|---0---0---0---0---5-4-------0---0---0---0---|
B:----0--------7-5-|----0---0-------0------7-5----0---0-------0--|
G:-----------------|-7---7---7---7---7---------6---6---6---6---6-|
D:-9----9----------|---------------------------------------------|
A:-----------------|-in a corner garden....----------------------|

B:-----7-5----0---0-------0-------7-5----0---0-----(0)-(0)-(0)-(0)-|
G:---------7---7---7---7---7----------6---6---6---9---8---6---4----|
D:-----------------------------------------------------------------|
A:-----------------------------------------------------------------|
E:-----------------------------------------------------------------|
chorus: (House in order....)
e:--5------------0------------3------------0------------|
B:--5------------0------------3------------0------------|
G:--6------------7------------4------------5------------|
D:--7------------7------------5------------5------------| 2 x
A:--7------------5------------5------------3------------|
E:--5-------------------------3-------------------------|
D D U U D U D D U U D U D D U U D U D D U U D U
Here you just have to strum those chords using up/down-strokes as noted.
Then: (Down there they're.....)
e:---3----3-----3----3----3-----3--|
B:----3----3----------3----3-------|
G:---------------------------------|
D:------5----5----------5----5-----| 2 x
A:---------------------------------|
E:-3---------------3---------------|
Then there's another verse. After the second chorus you get the 'bridge',
it's something like this:
e:--12-12-12-12----|---------------|
B:--12-12-15-14-12-|-12-12-14-12-x-|
G:--12-12-12-12-12-|-12-12-12-12-x-|
D:-----------------|-12-12-12-12-x-| 2 x
A:-----------------|---------------|
E:-----------------|---------------|
After this there's another intro riff.
The 3rd verse contains an extra guitar line that's played together with
the normal intro/verse riff.
"overdubbed riff":
e:----0---0---0---0---0---0---0----0---0-----0---0---0-|
B:-----0---0---0---0-----------0----0---------0---0----|
G:--9---7---9---7---9---7------------6---7/9---8---8---| repeat
D:--------------------------7----9---------------------|
A:-----------------------------------------------------|
E:-----------------------------------------------------|
The song ends with an Em chord:
e:-0--------(0)------|
B:-0------(3)-(2)----|
G:-0-----------------|
D:-2-----------------|
A:-2-----------------|
E:-0-----------------|
Suspicion yourself, suspicion yourself, don't get caught.

You take a walk and you try to understand
Nothing can hurt you
Unless you want it to
There are no answers
Many reasons to be strong
You take a walk you take a walk
You take a walk and you try to understand

Lyrics:
(derived from the liner notes to the gospel album "The Joy of Knowing Jesus,"
by The Revelaires)
Reverend Bill Funderburk sings "He Cared That Much For Me";
Charles Surratt introduces his own composition "On Calvary For Me";
"The Joy of Knowing Jesus" is a song of pure delight featuring John Barbee;
The pure tenor quality of the voice of Harold Montgomery
gives a special interpretation to the grand old hymn "The Old Rugged Cross";
Chill bumps appear and I am frozen in the web they weave as they reveal their
innermost selves with the outpouring of their hearts...
On and on the songs roll and soon you are caught up
in the sermon in each rendition as you come to feel
the devotion and dedication that is poured forth.
Suddenly, you know they are real, they mean it!
"Let your light so shine..."
could not be more aptly applied
as there shines a light from heaven on your heart
through their singing. As an artist, Rhonda Montgomery
exemplifies piano artistry. That's Rhonda! An artist!
This album can be the instrument to mend a broken heart
or to straighten out your life through the sincere testimony
in the songs of THE REVELAIRES. A must!

Repeat chorus untill end (Rhy. Fig.1)
Double stops are very important during the verses and the
solo. Use double stops during the solo. It makes
the song sound more complete.
WINDOUT
Chords/Tab by: John McGruther CIFV108@VAXA.STRATH.AC.UK
The song begins with what sounds like a middle A note, or part of an
A chord, with feedback. Not playable on clean guitar so must be
a second guitar line.
Riff 1
------
The chords here are E for 3 beats
Esus4 for 1 beat
D for 4 beats
E 022100
Esus4 022200
D xx0232
This is the "Windout...if you're out of wind" part
Riff2
-----
Simply a quiet but fast-strummed A for 6 beats
followed by a blast of G, with gusto, for 2 beats.
"Bridge" bit in the middle

From memory I think it ends on a long E chord.
Lyrics:
Windout - if you're out of wind
Windout - if you're really spent
Windout - if you're young and red
Yeah, tick tock, it's tine o'clock
Once is good enough, you really go...
So find out - if you're really spent
Find out - if you're out of wind
Windout - if you're out of sin
Winding up
There's no doubt - that you're feeling fine
No doubt - that you're out of mind
No doubt - that you're young and red
Windout - if you're really spent
Find out - if you're young and red
Windout - if you're out of wind
If you're young and red
Tick tock time to clock my band
Once is good enough, you really go...
Windout, find out, no doubt
Windout, find out, no doubt
Windout, windout, windout

'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.

Notes
-------
The verses of the song are all quite similar. Verses 1,2 and 3 are
made up of a (G#, C#)[3],F# - (G# C#)[3] F# C# progression over
8-bars. Each verse differs slightly an bars 4 and 8 - after the
first verse these changes are shown as 'fills'. The differences are
only slight.
In verses 4 and 5 (and also in the Outro) the original verse riff is
transposed down by a whole tone (by moving the original chords down
by 2 frets) giving a (F#, B)[3],E - (F# B)[3] E B progression. Again,
the riff played over the (F# B)[3] section is constant with only
slight changes occurring in bars 4 and 8. (These are also shown as
fills)
The 2 guitar solos are based on the F# minor pentatonic scale, using
the 'standard box' pattern (with extension) found at the second fret.
Both solos share the same first 4-bars.
Some of the notation in the guitar solos may need clarification....
The term '4brp2' (in the 4th bar of solo 1) is an attempt to notate
a fluid movement of the wrist used to fret the notes.
The note on the 4th fret is bent by 1 semitone (the same as the note
found on the 5th fret) then released and then pulled-off to the 2nd
fret - all in one movement. Other terms, such as 4mbp2, can be
explained in a similar way. The note at the 4th fret is bend slightly
(i.e. less than a semitone - listen to the record for the exact bend)
and the pull-off to fret 2. All in one movement. Listen to the record
and it should become clear.
The spoken word section contains 2 guitars. Guitar 1 plays the main
rhythm part, which is based on playing partial power chords. Guitar 2
plays diads, - these have a reggae type of feel to them, as they are
played on beats 2 and 4 of each bar. Guitar 3 is used to add a melody
over the C5 sections these are shown as double_fills 1 and 2. The fills
also sound as if they may have been doubled, to get a thicker sound.
The choruses are all different, but follow the same structure. They
are made up of partial chords - its just a matter of playing the
chords shown above the TAB to match the vocal phrasing to get the
'loose effect' heard on the record.

Notes
------
The intro features 3 guitars.
Guitar1 is used to play the riff around the second fret.
Guitar2 provides a powerchord accompanyment.
Deep in the mix guitar 3 doubles the riff played by guitar1, but
up an octive. This can be first heard halfway through bar 4.
The verse sections are nominally the same.
Guitar 1 has a clean sound and picks an arpeggiated Dsus2 pattern.
Let the picked notes ring as you play them.
Guitar 2 is distorted and plays powerchords, these should be allowed
to sustain over the picked sections.
The verses are tabbed for 2 guitars since the D5 played by guitar 2
rings over the picking part, also the 2 parts have quite dissimilar
sounds. These can be combined into 1 part.
For the chorus Guitar 1 plays chords and short melody lines, and
Guitar 2 plays power chords.
The guitar solo is quite easy and is essentially 2 different phrases
repeated over a C5 to F5 chord progression.

Notes
TAB Key
b - bend a semitone
X - mute with palm of hand
U - upstroke
D - downstroke
This is mainly a 2 guitar song. Guitar1 is in the right stereo channel
and guitar24 is in the left. Guitar2 has a cleaner sound than guitar1.
This song is a straight forward boogie kind of thing in the key of G. The
verses centre around G and C, and the chorus' centre around E5 and A5. I was a
bit of a 'train spotter' and tried to include all the rhythmic variations (as
well as ascii tab allows) because it sounds boring just played with a
straight shuffle feel.
The guitar solo has guitar1 picking out the melody, guitar2 playing the backing
chords and guitar3 playing a short, descending, 'walking bassline' sequence.
Guitars 1 and 3 can be included as one part quite easily but the way all the
notes are left ringing I would say there are 2 guitars on the record here.
The timings between the 2 guitars, as written above, should be pretty accurate
but check the record for details.
The choruses and 'Do Do' sections are filled out with an Organ (and handclaps)
IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT (AND I FEEL FINE)
(lyrics from official lyric sheet)
G Cmaj7
That's great, it starts with an earthquake,
G Cmaj7
birds and snakes, an aeroplane - Lenny Bruce is not afraid.
G
Eye of a hurricane, listen to yourself churn
Cmaj7
world serves its own needs, don't misserve your own needs.
G
Feed it up a knock, speed, grunt no, strength no.
Cmaj7
Ladder structure clatter with fear of height, down height.
Bb
Wire in a fire, represent the seven games
Am

Look at that low plane! Fine then.
G Cmaj7
Uh oh, overflow, population, common group, but it'll do.
Save yourself, serve yourself.
G

Six o'clock - TV hour. Don't get caught in foreign tower.
Cmaj7
Slash and burn, return, listen to yourself churn.
G
Lock him in uniform and book burning, blood letting.
Cmaj7
Every motive escalate. Automotive incinerate.
G
Light a candle, light a motive. Step down, step down.
Cmaj7
Watch a heel crush, crush.
G
Uh oh, this means no fear - cavalier. Renegade and steer clear!
Cmaj7
A tournament, a tournament, a tournament of lies.
Bb Am
Offer me solutions, offer me alternatives and I decline.

Play these 4-bars twice over the verse sections, and one over the last 4-bars
of the bridge. This part is only an 'idea', all occurances of Guitar3 differ.
Play notes on the high strings with up/down strokes, let all notes ring.
TAB Key
--------
b - bend a semitone (1 fret)
h - hammer on
p - pulloff
/ - slide up
\ - slide down
rake - exagerate the strumming of the chord
(but not enough for it to be an arpeggio)
Notes
------
Guitar1 is heavily distorted and plays power chords over each
chorus (and first beat of each verse). It is also used in the
first 4 bars of each bridge.
Guitar2 plays the main parts. The sound is quite clean - with a
little processing (maybe a chorus effect). Let all notes ring.
The intro and choruses may have been double tracked (*). The solo
uses Em pentatonic - around the open position.
Guitar3 appears in the verses and last 4 bars of the bridge, both
parts are similar. It consists of first position, Em and Dsus2
chords - played in an acoustic/delta blues style, emphasising open
strings.
This part isn't obvious, but it adds to the record - filling the
sparse melody lines played by Guitar2. This is played freely. I
didn't imagine anybody wanting to wade through loads of freestyle
rhythm guitar TAB, for a part thats barely noticeable on a casual
listen. I've only included a sanitised example of the style used.
Feel is more important than the exact choice of notes, which vary
throughout.
The stereo mix makes isolating guitar parts, difficult. Listening
to each stereo channel separately makes things clearer.
The guitars in the intro and choruses appear in both channels.
In the verses, Guitar1 and Guitar3 are in the right channel, and
Guitar2 in the left channel.
The guitar solo appears in both channels, but is strongest in the
left.
In the Bridge, Guitar1 is found in both channels, Guitar2 in the
left and Guitar3 in the right channel.

THE ONE I LOVE

harm X harm
*harm is a harmonic produced py placing the finger halfway between the
third and fourth frets, and then producing a harmonic in the usual way.
Sometimes, on the record, it works other times it sounds like a muted open
string.

The 'rapid fire' doublestops played on the E and B strings, by guitar 1, are
semi-quavers and for every beat should be counted as 1-e-&-a, 2-e-&-a, etc.
The part played by guitar 2 uses a bottleneck (slide) giving the notes
a more metallic, earie quality.

TAB Key
b - bend a semitone
r - release previous bend
p - pulloff
s - slide
mb - microtone bend (see record for further details)
mr - microtone release
X - mute with palm of hand
harm - harmonic
~ - hold note
Notes
Guitar 1 plays the most recognisable part of the song (the part which you hum
on your way to work ?), Guitar 2 plays similar lines to guitar 1 but
contains a few weird note choices and harmonics - giving the noise effect on
the track.
The inter-bar timings of the 2 guitar parts are reasonably accurate, but check
the record for details, particularly the 2 guitar parts on the chorus where
one guitar plays doublestops and the other slide. You don't need to be an
'expert blueshound' to play the slide bits, and if you don't have a slide you
can simulate the effect quite closely using finger slides.

KING OF BIRDS
Original chords by: ?
Corrections from: the-concourse-on-high
{Play the "D" chord like this: xx0235
And play around with it, like descending on that high E string (frets->5,3,2)
through one line of verse.}
Intro : D

A thumbnail sketch, a jeweler's stone
A mean idea to call my own
Old man don't lay so still you're not yet young
There's time to teach, point to point
Point observation, children carry reservations
G
Standing on the shoulders of giants leaves me cold, leaves me cold.
F# A D
A mean idea to call my own, a hundred million birds fly
D
Singer sing me a given, singer sing me a song
Standing on the shoulders of giants everybody's looking on
(Old don't lay so still you're not yet young)
G
Standing on the shoulders of giants leaves me cold
F# A B
A mean idea to call my own, a hundred million birds fly away
E B E --> D
away... awaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyieeeeeee
D
I am king of all I see, my kingdom for a voice
Old man don't lay so still, you're not yet young
There's time to teach, point to point
Point observation, children carry reservations
G
Standing on the shoulders of giants, leaves me cold
F# A D
A mean idea to call my own, a hundred million birds fly away.

Reached up and scratched his head
Fell down and hit the ground again

Why do the heathens rage behind the firehouse
Where Peewee sits upon the wall to preach?
This boy and girl that gather pearls
Of wisdom falling from his mouth
Wash off the blood, wash off the rum

At night I drink myself to sleep and pretend

(DON'T GO BACK TO) ROCKVILLE (Version 2)
transcribed by Jeff Elkins (jeff.elkins@nashville.com)
Corrections/additions always welcome.
This is my first post. I transcribe for myself quite frequently (solo or
duo acoustic arrangements), but don't usually put it down on paper (or
computer). I decided that it was time to share! Here's a tune that was
re-done by 10,000 Maniacs - further evidence of it's _timelessness_, in my
opinion.
* = fretted note play all strings marked "o", mute (or don't
@ = add for 4th play) strings marked "x"
% = add for 2nd

Performance Notes:
I play this with many open strings except in the REFRAIN, which is
really straight bar chords. The F#m in the chorus is probably a straight
F#m bar chord - Mike Mills plays the low F# on bass. BUT, I prefer to play
the following F#m7add4 chord (because it "jangles" and sounds fuller than
the bar chord):
F#m7+4 xooooo
------
6|||*|| <-- These two notes slide up
||*||| <-- from the E chord...
||||||
finger with your pinky --> |*||||
[If you use this chord, you will definitely want to play the "B.."]
In order to play this all on guitar (there is a piano in the
verses) you need to add notes to the E and A. chords - the E chord bounces
off-and-on an A note (the 4th) and an F# note (the 2nd) in the verse. The
A. does likewise with a D note (4th) and the open B string/note
(2nd).
This song is NOT that complicated. To start out, play the song
without all the 4th's, 2nd's, etc., and get a feel for it (stress the 2nd
and 4th beats). Then, play around with it until _YOU_ like the way that it
sounds.

This one goes out To the one I Love ....
Play these 4-bars twice over the verse sections, and one over the last 4-bars
of the bridge. This part is only an 'idea', all occurances of Guitar3 differ.
Play notes on the high strings with up/down strokes, let all notes ring.
TAB Key
--------
b - bend a semitone (1 fret)
h - hammer on
p - pulloff
/ - slide up
\ - slide down
rake - exagerate the strumming of the chord
(but not enough for it to be an arpeggio)
Notes
------
Guitar1 is heavily distorted and plays power chords over each
chorus (and first beat of each verse). It is also used in the
first 4 bars of each bridge.
Guitar2 plays the main parts. The sound is quite clean - with a
little processing (maybe a chorus effect). Let all notes ring.
The intro and choruses may have been double tracked (*). The solo
uses Em pentatonic - around the open position.
Guitar3 appears in the verses and last 4 bars of the bridge, both
parts are similar. It consists of first position, Em and Dsus2
chords - played in an acoustic/delta blues style, emphasising open
strings.
This part isn't obvious, but it adds to the record - filling the
sparse melody lines played by Guitar2. This is played freely. I
didn't imagine anybody wanting to wade through loads of freestyle
rhythm guitar TAB, for a part thats barely noticeable on a casual
listen. I've only included a sanitised example of the style used.
Feel is more important than the exact choice of notes, which vary
throughout.
The stereo mix makes isolating guitar parts, difficult. Listening
to each stereo channel separately makes things clearer.
The guitars in the intro and choruses appear in both channels.
In the verses, Guitar1 and Guitar3 are in the right channel, and
Guitar2 in the left channel.
The guitar solo appears in both channels, but is strongest in the
left.
In the Bridge, Guitar1 is found in both channels, Guitar2 in the
left and Guitar3 in the right channel.

birds and snakes, an aeroplane - Lenny Bruce is not afraid.
G
Eye of a hurricane, listen to yourself churn

Slash and burn, return, listen to yourself churn.
G
Lock him in uniform and book burning, blood letting.
Cmaj7
Every motive escalate. Automotive incinerate.
G
Light a candle, light a motive. Step down, step down.
Cmaj7
Watch a heel crush, crush.
G
Uh oh, this means no fear - cavalier. Renegade and steer clear!

A tournament, a tournament, a tournament of lies.

Offer me solutions, offer me alternatives and I decline.

{play the riff but start with the stuff on the 7th fret of
the low E string}
I fell asleep and read just about every paragraph.
Read the scene where gravity is pulling me around
Peel back the mountains peel back the sky
Stomp gravity into the floor
It's a Man Ray kind of sky
Let me show you what I can do with it
Time and distance are out of place here

Step up, step up, step up the sky is open-armed
{start the riff again}
When the light is mine, I felt gravity pull
Somewhere near the end it said
"You can't do this", I said "I can too"
Shift sway rivers shift, oceans fall and mountains drift
It's a Man Ray kind of sky
Let me show you what I can do with it
Step up, step up, step up the sky is open-armed
C D
When the light is mine, I felt gravity pull onto my eyes,
C D
holding my head straight (looking down).

This is the easiest task I've ever had to do...
I fell asleep and read just about every paragraph
Read the scene where gravity is pulling me around
Shift the swaying river's shift

Step up, step up, step up the sky is open-armed
When the light is mine, I felt gravity pull onto my eyes,
holding my head straight (looking down).
This is the easiest task I've ever had to do...
Reason had harnessed the tame
Holding the sky in their arms
{The end follows these chords: B C B C B C B C D B}
Gravity pulls me down

Listen to the holler, listen to my walls within my tongue
Can't you see you made my ears go tin?

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, talking to the street
My pockets are out and running about
Barking in the street to tell what I have hidden there
My carpenter's out and running about, barking in the, listen to the holler
My pockets are out and running about
Barking in the street to tell what I have hidden there
Listen, listen to the holler,

On one of the set lists in "It Crawled from the South" Peter has written
"Open G" next to this song, so I thought I'd try tabbing it in Open G tuning...
Tuning: DGDGBD
intro:
i cant tab the picking pattern, so listen to it and work it out...

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

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

{same as other verse}
When your hands are feeling empty
Stick head jumpin off the ground, 'round
Tris is sure to shirr the deers out
Brother Ray can sing my song
I've been there I know the way
Can't get there from here
I've been there I know the way
Can't get there from here
I've been there I know the way
Can't get there from here
I've been there I know the way

Hands down, Calechee bound
B D A B
Landlocked kiss the ground
Dirt of seven continents going round and round
Go on ahead Mr. Citywide hypnotized, suit and tied
Gentlemen, testify
.....F#
{same as before}
If your world is a monster
Bad to swallow you whole
Philomath they know the lowdown
Throw your trolls out the door
I've been there I know the way
Can't get there from here
I've been there I know the way
Can't get there from here
I've been there I know the way
Can't get there from here
I've been there I know the way
Thank you, Ray.

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
Green grow the rushes go
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
Green grow the rushes go
Green grow the rushes go
Green grow the rushes go
The compass points the workers home

KOHOUTEK
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.]

Michael built a bridge... Michael tore it down
If I stand and holler... will I stand alone?

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
Another engine, another engine
Listen to the bargain holler
Listen to the barter holler
Listen to the auctioneer
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
Listen to the auctioneer
Another engine, another engine
Do I stand the bargain holler?
Listen to the barter holler
Listen to the auctioneer

he adlibs a bit and instead of hitting the second "7" of the riff, he will

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.
D-lick |
Put your trouble behind. |

@SONG: GOOD ADVICES
When you greet a stranger look at his shoes
Keep your money in your shoes put your trouble behind
When you greet a stranger look at his hands
Keep your money in your hands put your travel behind
Who are you going to call for, what do you have to say
Keep your hat on your head home is a long way away
At the end of the day, I'll forget your name
I'd like it here if I could leave and see you from a long way away
When you greet a stranger, look at her shoes
Keep you memories in your shoes, put your travel behind
Who are you going to call for, what do you have to say
Keep your hat on your head
Home is a long way away
At the end of the day, when there are no friends
When there are no lovers, who are you going to call for
What do you have to change
A familiar face a foreign place I forget your name
I'd like it here if I could leave and see you from a long way away
Who are you going to call for, what do you have to say
Keep your hat on your head
Home is 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

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
This is my mistake. Let me make it good
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
This is my mistake. Let me make it good
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

Divide your cultured pearls and paste

I am not the type of dog
That could keep you waiting

Run a carbon-black test on my jaw

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
It's a beautiful life
My life
It's a beautiful 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

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

At the edge of the continent

Lyrics:
Now I'm not feeding off you, I will rearrange your scales
If I can, and I can
March into the ocean, march into the sea
I had a hat I put it down and it sunk, reached down,
yanked it up, slapped it on my head
All the people gather
Fly to carry each his burden
We are young despite the years we are concern
We are hope despite the times
All of the sudden, these days
Happy throngs, take this joy wherever, wherever....
I wish to meet each one of you
And you, me, you, if I can and I can
We have many things in common, name three (three, three, three)
I had a hat and it sunk, reached down,
yanked it up, slapped it on my head
All the people gather
Fly to carry each his burden
We are young despite the years we are concern
We are hope despite the times
All of the sudden, these days
Happy throngs, take this joy wherever, wherever you go.
Now I'm not feeding off you I will rearrange your scales
If I can and I can
I wish to eat each one of you and you, me, you
I had a hat and it sunk, reached down,
yanked it up, slapped it on my head
All the people gather
Fly to carry each his burden
We are young despite the years we are concern
We are hope despite the times
All of the sudden, these days
Happy throngs, take this joy wherever, wherever you...
carry each his burden
We are young despite the years we are concern
We are hope despite the times
All of the sudden, these days
Happy throngs, take this joy wherever, wherever you go.

And we shall hide together here
Underneath the bunkers in the row
I have water I have rum
Wait for dawn and dawn shall come
Underneath the bunkers in the row
CUYAHOGA (Version 1)
There are two ways to play the intro riff. The more accurate way is to tune
your low E string down to D. If you want to be able to play normal chord
shapes, though, this way is better:
G(3) --2------2----|
D(4) 0-----0-----0-|
A(5) |--5-----5-5-----|--2-------2-----|--5-5---5-5-----|
E(6) |3-----3-----3---|0-----0-------0-|3-----3-----3---|
D G Em G (repeat throughout verse)
Let's put our heads together and start a new country up
Our father's father's father tried, erased the parts he didn't like
Let's try to fill it in, bank the quarry river, swim
We knee-skinned it you and me, we knee-skinned that river red

This land is the land of ours, this river runs red over it
We knee-skinned it you and me, we knee-skinned that river red
And we gathered up our friends, bank the quarry river, swim
We knee-skinned it you and me, underneath the river bed
(see below...)

SWAN SWAN H
The Rhythm guitar is played on a 12 - string while the other part is
played on a regular 6 - string.
This song is in 6/8 time. In the intro, Peter plays an Am chord. On
beat four, he lifts up his finger on the second fret of the D string
then hammers it right back on. Its an old trick but one of my
favorites. He also does it on the Dm chord when it's played for a
whole 6 beats - except of course, he lifts his finger off of the G
string.

Tell that to the captain's mother,
Hey captain don't you want to buy,
Some bone chains and toothpicks?
Night wings, her hair chains

Hurrah, we are all free now
What noisy cats are we
Long, low time ago, people talk to me
A pistol hot cup of rhyme,
The whiskey is water, the water is wine

CRUSH WITH EYELINER
Song: Crush, With Eyeliner
Album: Monster
Tab: Ryan Bannon
Comments: So, Rickentalkers requested tab of "Crush, With Eyeliner". So, why not deliver?
The version I'm presenting mixes variations of Peter's live performance.
The most important element of this song is the amplified tremolo. I don't know if
it's from a pedal or his VOX amp. (Actually, I think the studio version uses his
amp, pedal on the tour). Please note that, when Peter plays it live, Nathan (December)
uses the tremolo, not Peter. So, if you listen to that opening chord on live Monster
shows, that's Nathan. Peter comes in right after that.
Again, this is just a template. Listen to different live versions and make stuff up
based on this. Also, where I have written down open strings between chords, that
usually means to strum between chords.

Ryan are you sure about that solo? I'm pretty sure that it's played like
this:

D|-gradual-----------------7----|--------------------------------------------|
A|------------------------------|--------------------------------------------|
E|-----play this part twice-----|--------------------------------------------|
Especially that first part is really different than what you tabbed. What do
the others think?
About the chorus: I think that one of the guitars just plays normal barre
chords, i.e. like this:
e|-7--7--x--5--5--x--3--3-/-5--5--5--x-------|
B|-9--9--x--7--7--x--3--3-/-5--5--5--x-------|
G|-9--9--x--7--7--x--4--4-/-6--6--6--x-------|
D|-9--9--x--7--7--x--5--5-/-7--7--7--x--etc.-|
A|-7--7--x--5--5--x--5--5-/-7--7--7--x-------|
E|-------------------3--3-/-5--5--5--x-------|
Actually I think that the guitar without tremolo is playing the above, and
the guitar with tremolo is playing what you tabbed.
And about the pre-chorus: I think the guitar with tremolo plays this:
e|------------0--------------------|-----------
B|------------0--------------------|-----------
G|-4--4--4--4-4---4-4-4------------|-----------
D|-4--4--4--4-4---4-4-4------------|--chorus---

E|---------------------------2qbr2-|-----------
qb=quarterbend
I read in an interview that Peter used the tremolo of his Mesa/Boogie
trem-o-verb amp on this song, so he didn't use a pedal. But maybe they did
use one live.

From: DJ Allan
I think Peter does a bend on that riff(which is slightly different during
the song than it is at the start.) This song is mostly improvised on the D
chords but I'm not sure which strings are being plaayed when. This is the
first few bars of the song. The rest is just variations on a theme.
If this is correct, then it is important to emphasise the right strings
on upstrokes and downstrokes to make the higher string ring when you need
them to.

Let the sun beat through the clouds,
Let me kiss you on the mouth.
All my childhood toys with chew marks in your 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,
{Hold C chord}
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.

I love you crazy, just keep on.
I love you madly, just keep watch.
You wipe my lips,
{Hold C chord}
You turn me on.
C C C#x D
My attentions are turned to you
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
C
I love you crazy, just keep on.
I love you madly, just keep watch.
You wipe my lips,
{Hold C chord}
You turn me on.

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.
Up to buy, Katie buys a kitchen-size, but not me in
Setting trap for love, making a waste of time, sitting still
I can hear you. I can hear you. I can hear you.

{same as intro}
I can hear you. I can hear you. I can hear you.
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
Setting trap for love, making a waste of time, sitting still
I can hear you. I can hear you. I can hear you.
I can hear you. I can hear you. I can hear you.
Can you hear me?

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
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
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
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
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.

This is obviously an electric guitar song. So it is really
neat to play if you have an amp with good overdrive. It
sounds better if you have a guitar with a pickup selector
switch like a Rickenbacker or a Les Paul, but that is just
for more flair and perfection.
Cool trick:
If you have a fairly good CD player, hit the pause button
(which should put the player in standby/play mode) then go
to track 6. Now you should have an INDEX button on your
remote, hit Index to number 2 (usually it is a smaller number
on the digital display right next to the track number). The
CD will automatically skip over the 1:01 min interlude/intro
on the acoustic guitar and right to the actual "beginning"
of the song!!! Pretty cool!! I assume this was done to
accomodate Radio DJ's who want not such a long song...
Now go check all of your other CDs to see who else did this!!
Amp Setting:
MEDIUM OVERDRIVE, MEDIUM GAIN, MEDIUM REVERB, MEDIUM CHORUS
* CAPO ON 1st FRET TO PLAY WITH THE ALBUM!!!
Guitar Riff:
(put pickup selector switch in middle position)
s = slide to.. h = hammer on.. p = pick off to..

Chorus:
(this really stands out so put pickup selector switch in MIDDLE position)

That's what keeps me,

That's what keeps me down.
C Am G
To leave it, to leave it,
F F* F
Leave it all behind.
The following verses and choruses are played the same
sometimes with the Guitar riff and the chords, sometimes
just chords. If you have two guitars (and two people)
play both!!
Shifting the dream
Nothing could bring me further from rougher tide.
We're shifting the dream.
It's charging the sea.
I know where I marked the signs.
Suffer dreams of a world gone mad
I like it like that and I know it.
I know him well, ugly and sweet
A temper madness who believed in extreme.
That's what keeps me
That's what keeps me
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

All flashing pulsar

I don't know you at all anymore

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
I'd sooner chew my leg off,
Than be trapped in this cell
how easy to think of all of this as bittersweet me
I couldn'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
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,
I'd sooner chew my leg off,
Than be trapped in this cell
how easy to think of all of this as bittersweet me
I couldn'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

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.

SO FAST, SO NUMB
From: Kevin Milans (kmilans@CapAccess.org)
Solo from the-concourse-on-high
D F C G
You're movin' through rough waters motel boy,
D F C
and swimming in your sleep.
D F C G
How could I be so blind, mis-sighted,
D F C
not to see there's something wounded deep?
D F C G
Anyone could scratch your surface now,
D F C
it's all amphetamine
D F C G
you're blasting yourself into the present
D F C
learn some vast indignity, say that,
F G
You say that you hate it,
F G
you want to re-create it
Em C G D
I've been around, I've been your lover.
Emm C F
I let it go at Kill Devil Hill,
Em C G G
You're coming onto something so fast, so numb
C
that you can't even feel.
You're drinking the raw Drano baby,
You do-si-do, saddo
You're you in cartilage, shark-eyed, shock horror, all present tense,
and boy your blood is running cold.
Listen, this is now, this is here, this is me,
this is what I wanted you to see.
That was then, was that, that is gone, this is past,
you cast yourself cast, passed by, gone down fast, you say,
F G
You say that you hate it,
F G
you want to re-create it
Em C G D
I've been around, I've been your lover.
Emm C F
I let it go at Kill Devil Hill,
Em C G G
You're coming onto something so fast, so numb
C
that you can't even feel.

You love it. You hate it.
You want to re-create it.
Now, this is here, this is me,
This is what I wanted you to see.
That was then, was that, that is gone.
That is what I wanted you to feel.
You love it. You hate it.
You spit it out, the bitter pill.
I've been around, I've been your lover
I let it go at Kill Devil Hill.
You're coming onto something so fast, so numb
that you can't even feel.
I've played this round, I've played your lover.
I've played it out to the hilt.
You're comin' on with something so fast, so numb
that you can't even feel.
you played around, you played me lover,
I let it go at Kill Devil Hill.
You're moving so hard, so fast, so numb
that you can't even feel.

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.

In regards to tricycle, I think that the second part (the riff after
the main riff) should be played on the D string, not on the A string as posted.

I'm not sure but I think that in the last line of each verse, it sounds like there's an extra chord that's not in your version.
I think there's an F# after the first A, like this:

The tab is for the mandolin part not the acousitic guitar part(but the chords are at the top of this page) The chords above the tab refer to the acoustic guitar and not to the mandolin parts, the reason I put them is for a reference to when you play what. Also I am too lazy to write all the parts eveytime they appear because there's a lot of repeating. Okay now that the explanation is done,

"Belong"
Chords by: David A. Grimmer (golias@winternet.com)
GUITAR 1:
The chords for the verses are always strummed with a slow downstroke near
the bridge on the first beat of each measure. They are G, C/G, Dsus4/G,
and back to G. At the same time the backup vocalist sings G, C, D, and
rests for the 4th measure.
G C/G G5
---------- ----------- -----------
E A D G B e E A D G B e E A D G B e
Head _ _ 0 0 _ _ _ _ _ 0 _ 0 _ X 0 0 _ _
Fret 1 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ * _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Fret 2 _ * _ _ _ _ _ _ * _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Fret 3 * _ _ _ * * * * _ _ _ _ * _ _ _ * *
The Refrain uses the same chords, but is strummed with the following
rhythm pattern:
1 e + a 2 e + a 3 e + a 4 e + a
s s s s e _ s e _ s s s s s s s
You can mess around with this pattern a little bit as the muse inspires
you, but since repetition is what really drives this song, you should
mostly stick to it.
GUITAR 2:
The part that was listed as the "guitar into" on your web page is
basically it. That part is also played during the first two verses. If
you want to give your second guitarist a little more to do, they can strum
along with the Guitar 1 during the refrain using another chord voicing. I
personally like this one (do not strum either E-string):
G C/G Dsus4/G
Fret 10 _ * _ _ _ _ _ * * _ _ _ _ * _ _ _ _
Fret 11 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Fret 12 _ _ * * * _ _ _ _ * _ _ _ _ * * X _
Fret 13 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ * _ _ _ _ _ _ _
BASS:
The meat & potatoes of this song, but not too tough to play. You may want
to let some of the vocal duties be handled by the bassist (but *not* the
spoken word part! The bass must stay on the beat, and the spoken vocals
must remain independent of it... This can become a lot like the old "pat
your head and rub your stomache" trick).
During the into & verses, stay put on the low G (yes, you are a petal
tone) using the following rhythm:
1 e + a 2 e + a 3 e + a 4 e + a
q _ _ _ e _ s e _ (rest)
For the refrain, play on G for the first measure, C on the second, and
back to G for the next two, using the following rhythm (mess around with it
a lot):
1 e + a 2 e + a 3 e + a 4 e + a
q _ _ _ e _ s e _ e _ s e _ e _
There are also two bass fills that are used un the refrian, both at the
end of a phrase. The first, and more frequest, is this:
q e se se e e
e |3---3-33-30-1-2|
The other is simply a desending G-maj scale:
e e se e e e se
g |----------------|
d |----54-2--------|
a |---------5-3-2--|
e |3-3-----------5-|
These fills can be inserted at will during the refrain, as long as some
tasteful restraint is used.
Lyrics:
Her world collapsed early Sunday morning.
She got up from the kitchen table,
folded the newspaper and silenced the radio.
Those creatures jumped the barricades
and have headed for the sea,
sea.
{Chorus:}
Oh............
Those creatures jumped the barricades
and have headed for the sea.
She began to breathe, to breathe at the thought of such freedom,
stood and whispered to her child, belong.
She held the child and whispered with calm, calm;
belong.
{Chorus:}
Oh............
She stood and whispered to her child, belong.
She held the child and whispered with calm, calm;
belong.
{Chorus:}
Those barricades can only hold for so long.
Her world collapsed early Sunday morning.
She took the child, held tight, opened the window;
a breath, this song, how long, and knew, knew; belong.
{Chorus:}
Oh............

You call it hoppin'

THE BALLAD OF CAT BALLOU
{Performed by Mike Mills on Rockline}
From: Romain.Brian@planetb.fr
The Ballad of Cat Balou ^× by Mike Mills
Translated by Romain Brian (Romain.Brian@planetb.fr)
There are actually two guitars playing together in this song; I just
managed to figure out the chords for the rythm guitar (at least I hope I
did so!) ^× Same thing about the lyrics, though since the names of the
outlaw and of the city are unkonwn to me, it's up to you to decide how it
should to be written. Of course, any corrections are welcome !
(Track available on bootlegs such as "Don't try this at home - Coversongs
1980-1994" and "Hail Hail Rock'n Roll volume 1 - Coversongs")
Intro played in Am

It's a hanging day, in Wolfcity (?), Wyoming,
C F C
in Wolfcity, Wyoming, in 1894
G
There's gonna drop Cat Balou
(silence) C
Right through the gallows floor
Am C
Well she killed a man in Wolfcity, Wyoming,
C
In Wolfcity, Wyoming
F C
She killed a man, it's true

And that is why they're hanging
(silence) C
They're hanging Cat Balou

She has the smile of an angel

Then there came to town
C C
A gun deadly and frightening
C C
A gun quicker than lightning
F C
The fastest gun you've seen
G (silence)
It was the gun in the hand of
C
Steely Kitchelean (???)
Am
Just one look at him
C C
And folks starting to shake
C C
Wild, wild as a snake
F C
Proud and fierce and mean

Then she road away
Just to where now was a mystery
But Cat roamed into history
Lent (?) her legend rule
She was the queen of the outlaws
Her highness Cat Balou
Cat Balou, Cat Balou
And now the story is all through
Cat Balou, Cat Balou
Say farewell to Cat Balou

played. But I hope this is helpful.

NARRATOR
C Bb F
F
When I was watching TV back in '73
A skinny old man sure appealed to me
Bb
His name by now, I'm sure you know
F
The man who played a starring role in Jacques Cousteau
F
And ever since then I've written the dude
Dreaming of swimming around the
coral reef
Bb
I'd even bought my camera and my scuba gear
F
If only Jacques had called to stop a career
C Bb F
A G
I wanna be a narrator
Bb A C
For the Jacques Cousteau show
F
Swimming under water with my microphone
I'd record noises in the aqua-zone
Bb
Chasing down the killer whale that's eating our crew
F
Just to bring the story (facts) back to you
I wanna be a narrator
For the Jacques Cousteau show
I've written the networks, sent my picture too
Done everything I could possibly do
I've given up trying to get through to him
Maybe he knows I don't know how to swim
I wanna be a narrator
For the Jacques Cousteau show
IT REPEATS THE SAME PATTERN THE REST OF THE SONG

The song Narrator has a little riff that Peter plays after
Michael sings his lines during the verse. It goes like this:
Riff during the F chord:

Riff during the Bb chord:

this is pretty straight forward
the part after this last part is a touch in the background, but its just two
climbs and descents along the G string that mirrors and or is just off the
vocals by a beat or so
the other part that I have to offer is the little bit I think separates
the chorus from the third verse, or there abouts
it seems to be just a veriation of the F chord

Lyrics:
your revolution is a silly idea, yeah
all your friend's are feeling had
it's like you need a reason to be feeling bad
you sport an armband when your good and mad
la la la la revolution (the future never happened)
i don't know why i'm feeling bad, yeah
i picked up a bad vibration
oliver north is running for senate
bomb the abortion clinic
reagan's defense is the deficit
the virus was invented
black man can't get aquitted
of the crimes that we committed
the future never happened, it never happened
la la la la revolution (the future never happened)
your revolution is a silly idea, yeah
you tried to look like a punk rocker
a whole lotta sneer, and little curl
i don't have time for your theatrics
everybody knows that you're a bad actress
i don't know why i'm feeling bad, yeah
but a scum is rising
la la la la revolution (the future never happened)
SCHEHERAZADE
From: David Wagner (102017.1777@CompuServe.COM)
intro: Dm G (2x) (note: it sounds better if you use bar chords!)
verse: Dm G (3x) E
chorus: A B C D ("when you're not there other guys...")
then for the part that goes "you can say what you want...":
E C D A
you can say what you want but she's SCHEHERAZADE
then for the bridge ("and you don't mind..."), do this 4X (using E-shaped bar
chords and suspendeds)
G (4 beats) A (4 beats)
Lyrics:
You say you make her feel all right
She says she wants you, but not tonight
You know the girl is telling lies
You try some magic in her eye
When you not there other guys come sticking around
And when you ask her what's going on
She'll only push you around
Say you don't want to talk about it
She'll tell you stories...she can bet
You know the girl ...she's telling lies
You try some magic in her eyes
But when you're not there other guys come sticking around
When you ask her what's going on
She'll only push you around
Put you down
You can say what you want
but she's SCHEHERAZADE
And you don't mind
And you call when she calls
You pay the price
You're bound to fall
And all the lies don't matter at all
You say you don't want to talk about it
She'll tell you stories
You can die
You know the girl is telling lies
You try some magic in her eye
But when you're not there other guys come sticking around
And when you ask her what's going on
She'll only push you around
Put you down
You can say what you want
She's SCHEHERAZADE

"TAINTED OBLIGATIONS" (As performed by the Community Trolls)
Chords by: Chris Bray (cbray@comp.uark.edu)
(This song has Michael Stipe singing lead vocals, and can be found on a number
of R.E.M. bootlegs, including "Those Were the Days", "Life's Rich Pageant
and More". I'm also pretty sure that Matthew Sweet is singing backing vocals.)
(D) (G) (D)
I saw the shoals at night, with the moon above.
(A7sus4)
I felt an obligation, and heard your voice again.
(D) (G)
If you were here once, you were here a hundred times.
(D) (A7sus4)
If I reached out tonight, I found I couldn't fight it.
B A B
If you were here once, you were here a hundred times.

Ohhhhhh
D G D
Best as a wishing star, I saw you better far away,
A7sus4
and I felt obligation, and heard your voice again.
D G D
Hear the rush of water, passing over the shoals.
A7sus4
Hear my heartbeat rather, if I reached out tonight.
B A B
If I reach out tonight and find I can't fight it,
A
and look to the stars, and wander towards a
D G D
heartfelt obligation, a place that you called home
A7sus4
and heard your voice again, but it's too late.
D G
You left long ago, and now you're probably dead and gone,
D A7sus4 B A
and I'm left here with the water and the shoals and a tainted obligation.

Won't you decide real fast
what are you gonna do?
I've almost given up hope
then what else is new?
You know that
I'm at the end of my rope trying to hang on to you
Because my patience is wearing thin just waiting for you
Won't you decide real fast
what are you gonna do
You better wait (WAIT!)
Don't go away now darling, wait (WAIT)
Why don't you stay?
You better wait (WAIT!)
Don't go away now, wait (WAIT!)
Why don't you stay?
I know that you're confused
it's no crime
You better hurry Sugar
cuz we're running out of time
Because my patience is wearing thin just waiting for you
Won't you decide real fast
what are you gonna do?

SO. CENTRAL RAIN ("In The Attic" Version)
Well, I've bought the "new" (actually, it's a EMI compilation)
R.E.M. album, and I heard that "Time After Time/Red Rain/So. Central Rain"
live medley that contains a really nice version of "So. Central Rain".
It's just Michael singing and Peter playing.
To play this version, just replace the C on the bass solo:
e --0---------------
B ----1-----1-------
G ------------(0)---
D ------0h2---------
A -3--------------3-
and the G on the other bass solo:
e ---3---------
B -----3-------
G -----------0-
D -------------
A -------0h2---
E -3-----------
(actually, Peter doesn't play this way, but I think
this way is OK, too!)
Play the other chords in harmonics.

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.

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.

There there is this part:

When I'm moving too fast Where's my new address?
Lyrics:
It's been pretty simple so far, vacation in Athens is calling me
And knock, knock, knock on wood, I thought I'd left you behind
Heaven is yours, heaven is yours, heaven's yours where I live
The thought of the catacombs left my soul at home
This letter never sent
And it's so far, it's so dark, i'm so lost
Heaven's yours, heaven's yours, heaven's yours where I live
(Another story, another story for a while, someone show me)
When I'm moving too fast, where's my new address?
The water is evening now, the catacombs are filling in
If my soul was made of stone, no, not, not so dark, dark
And it's so far, it's so dark, i'm so lost
And it's so far, it's so far, it's so far
Heaven's yours, heaven's yours, heaven's yours where I live
(Another story, another story for a while, someone show me)
Heaven's yours, heaven's yours, heaven's yours where I live
(Another story, another story for a while, someone show me)
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-------------10!7-------------!----------------!
B(2) !----------3-----!----------------!---------10p8h!10----10--------!
G(3) !--------2-------! (pull-off and hammer-on)
D(4) !0---------------!
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.
verse 1
/From the inside room when the front room greeting
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

riff b I should keep myself inbetween th pages
riff b Of the green light room if we fall by the side
riff b Will you be remembered? Will she be remembered? (Asus4/A)
chorus
play riff c twice, then:
verse 3

riff b Becomes your special book, it was simple then
riff b When the party lulls, if we fall by the side
riff b I still like you; can you rememeber? (Asus4/A)

Corrections/additions always welcome.
This is my first post. I transcribe for myself quite frequently (solo or
duo acoustic arrangements), but don't usually put it down on paper (or
computer). I decided that it was time to share! Here's a tune that was
re-done by 10,000 Maniacs - further evidence of it's _timelessness_, in my
opinion.

Performance Notes:
I play this with many open strings except in the REFRAIN, which is
really straight bar chords. The F#m in the chorus is probably a straight
F#m bar chord - Mike Mills plays the low F# on bass. BUT, I prefer to play
the following F#m7add4 chord (because it "jangles" and sounds fuller than
the bar chord):
F#m7+4 xooooo
------
6|||*|| <-- These two notes slide up
||*||| <-- from the E chord...
||||||
finger with your pinky --> |*||||
[If you use this chord, you will definitely want to play the "B.."]
In order to play this all on guitar (there is a piano in the
verses) you need to add notes to the E and A. chords - the E chord bounces
off-and-on an A note (the 4th) and an F# note (the 2nd) in the verse. The
A. does likewise with a D note (4th) and the open B string/note
(2nd).
This song is NOT that complicated. To start out, play the song
without all the 4th's, 2nd's, etc., and get a feel for it (stress the 2nd
and 4th beats). Then, play around with it until _YOU_ like the way that it
sounds.

Lyrics:
I can't see myself at thirty, I don't buy a lacquered thirty
Caught like flies, preserved for tomorrow's jewelery, again
Lighted in the amber yard, a green shellback, green shellback
Preserved for tomorrow's eyes, in tree beer tar-black brer sap,
The biggest wagon is the empty wagon is the noisiest,
The consul a horse, Jefferson I think we're lost
Who will tend the farm museums? Who will dust today's belongings?
Who will sweep the floors, hedging near the givens?
Rally round your leaders it's the mediator season
Diane is on the beach, do you realize the life she's led?
The biggest wagon is the empty wagon is the noisiest,
The consul a horse, oh man I think we're lost
The biggest wagon is the empty wagon is the noisiest,
A matter of course, Jefferson, Jeffer
Lighted in the amber yard, a green shellback, green shellback
Sky-lied, sty-tied, Nero pie-tied, in tree tar-black brer sap,
Reason has harnessed the tame, a lodging, not stockader's game
Another Greenville, another Magic Mart, Jeffer, grab your fiddle,
The biggest wagon is the empty wagon is the noisiest,
The consul a horse, Jefferson I think we're lost
The biggest wagon is the empty wagon is the noisiest,
The consul a horse, Jefferson I think we're lost

I mainly wanted to improve the main riff here. the chorus kinda stumps me..
i think the one gtr is playing just power chords on the bottom two strings,
and another is doing some mid-range stuff. who knows...

Here's the guitar solo from Suspicion... it's pretty heavily modulated
so expect me to be off on a few counts.

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
C
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
you want to go out friday
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
you're looking like an idiot
and you no longer care
you want to climb the ladder
you want to go forever
you want to go out friday
you want to go forever

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---

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
in a sweet hammer-on)
D--------------------------------------------
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
I'm what you found I'm upside sown you're in the air you're in the air
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.

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!

I din't care what I have to step over
I'm prepared to look you in the eye
look me in the eye
and if you see familiarity
then celebrate the contradiction
help me when I fall to
walk unafraid
I'll be clumsy instead
hold my love me or leave me
high.
walk unafraid
I'll be clumsy instead
hold my love me or leave me

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
G F#m E
you wake up in the morning
D C# E
and fall out of your bed
D C# E
mean cats eat parakeets
D C Eb
and this one's nearly dead.
G F#m E
you dearly wish the wind shift
D C# E
and greasy windows slide
D C# E
open for the parakeet
D C Eb
who's colored bitter lime.
Em (riff) C (riff)
open the window
Am Bm D
and lift into your dreams
Em (riff) C (riff) Am D Ebm
lately, baby, you can barely breathe.
(chords same as above)
a broken wrist, an accident
you know that something's wrong
you fold the leavings of your past
no one knows you've gone.
the sunspot flares of the early
nineties light up your wings.
and scan the shortwave radio
it's tracking outer range.
open the window
and lift into your dreams
baby, baby, you can start to breathe
the tectonic dispatcher shifts
to smooth the ocean floor
and flattens out to warmer winds
of brisbane's sunny shore.
where buddhas tend to mending wrists
a tea made from the leaves
of eucalyptus fragrances
and coriander seeds.
open your window
and lift into a dream
baby, baby, baby starts to breathe
open the window
and lift into a dream
baby, baby, baby starts to breathe
you wake up in the morning
to warm pacific breeze
where means cats chew on licorice
D C G#m
and cannot climb the trees.
end on some G#m riffs.
notes...i'm open to suggestions as to what that last chord is. it's really cool, and it's definetly a chord not used anywhere else in the song. okay, i think that's it.

had fate its ugly head
my actions make me beautiful
and dignify the flesh
me. I am free. free.
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)

PASSENGER (IGGY POP)
from: david wagner wagner@mindspring.com
okay, here are the chords to REM's cover of iggy's "the passenger," which is available
on the "at my most beautiful" single. they played it on "later with jools holland"
on october 27, 1998. it's a pretty easy song to play on guitar. i didn't write
all of the lyrics down b/c they're more or less the same, some lines change but
they're not that important i think...
lots of times, when peter plays an Am, he'll play it like this:
e--0------
B--0-h-1-
G--0-h-2-
D--0-h-2-
A--0-------
E-----------
chords for the entire song:
Am F C G
Am F C E7
first verse of lyrics:
i am the passenger
and i ride and i ride
i ride through the city's backside
and everything will be alright
and everything is yours and mine tonight

What they think we need, what they believe we need,
What we think we see, what they believe we see.
-SLIGHT CHANGES TO MELODY-
It's been a long, long road
And it keeps on going on.
The singer must sing his song,
And the winner must start the march,
And fall behind to walk with the people.
Then into King Of Birds:-
