R.E.M. - It's the End of the World

Originally in G, I play in E

Vox on the 5 for basically the whole song

I play all the IVmaj7’s as IV’s

EThat’s great, it starts with an Amaj7earthquake

Birds and snakes, an Eaeroplane, Lenny Bruce is Amaj7not afraid

EEye of a hurricane, listen to yourself churn

Amaj7World serves its own needs, don’t misserve your own needs

ESpeed it up a knock, speed, grunt, no, strength no

Amaj7Ladder starts to clatter with fear fight, down height

GWire in a fire, representing seven games

In a F#mgovernment for hire and a combat site

ELeft of west and coming in a hurry with the furies breathing

DoAmaj7wn your neck

ETeam by team reporters baffled, trump, tethered, cropped, look at

Plane, fine, then get one beat each

Amaj7That low plane, fine, then

EUh oh, overflow, population, common group, but

Amaj7It’ll do, save yourself, serve yourself, world serves its

EOwn needs, listen to your heart bleed, tell me with the

Amaj7Rapture and the reverent in the right, right

You Gvitriolic, patriotic, slam, fight, bright light

F#mFeeling pretty psyched

ESix o’clock, TV hour, don’t get caught in foreign tower

Amaj7Slash and burn, return, listen to yourself churn

ELock him in uniform, and book burning, blood letting

Amaj7Every motive escalate, automotive incinerate

ELight a candle, light a motive, step down, step down

Amaj7Watch a heel crush, crush, uh oh, this means

ENo fear, cavalier, renegade, steer clear

A tAmaj7ournament, a tournament, a tournament of lies

GOffer me solutions, offer me alternatives and IF#mdecline

EI feel fAmaj7ine EAmaj7EDD

The oEther night I dreamed of knives, continental drift divide

Amaj7Mountains sit in a line, Leonard Bernstein

ELeonid Breshnev, Lenny Bruce and Lester Bangs

Amaj7Birthday party, cheesecake, jelly bean, boom

You Gsymbiotic, patriotic, slam, but neck, F#mright? Right
