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
It’s the Eend of theBworld as we kF#mnow it
It’s the Eend of theBworld as we kF#mnow it
It’s the Eend of theBworld as we kF#mnow it
And I feel fAine
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
With “might I have some time alone” for the rest of the song
It’s the Eend of theBworld as we kF#mnow it
It’s the Eend of theBworld as we kF#mnow it
It’s the Eend of theBworld as we kF#mnow it
And I feel fAine
EI feel fAmaj7ine EAmaj7EDD
It’s the Eend of theBworld as we kF#mnow it
It’s the Eend of theBworld as we kF#mnow it
It’s the Eend of theBworld as we kF#mnow it
And I feel fAine
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
It’s the Eend of theBworld as we kF#mnow it
It’s the Eend of theBworld as we kF#mnow it
It’s the Eend of theBworld as we kF#mnow it
And I feel fAine
