song: The Great Beyond

artist: R.E.M.

Intro

I´ve watched the stars fall silent

from your eyes

All the sights that I have seen

I can´t believe that I

believed I wished that you could see

There´s a new planet in the solar system

There is nothing up my sleeve

I´m pushing an elephant up the stairs

I´m tossing up punchlines that were never there

Over my shoulder a piano falls

Crashing to the ground

And all this talk of time

Talk is fine

And I don´t want to stay around

Why can´t we pantomime, just

close our eyes and sleep sweet dreams

Being here with wings on our feet

I´m pushing an elephant up the stairs

I´m tossing up punchlines that were never there

Over my shoulder a piano falls

Crashing to the ground

I´m breaking through I´m bending spoons

I´m keeping flowers in full bloom

I´m looking for answers from the great beyond

I want the hummingbirds, the dancing bears

Sweetest dreams of you

Look into the stars

Look into the moon

I´m pushing an elephant up the stairs

I´m tossing up punchlines that were never there

Over my shoulder a piano falls

Crashing to the ground

I´m breaking through I´m bending spoons

I´m keeping flowers in full bloom

I´m looking for answers from the great beyond

I´m breaking through I´m bending spoons

I´m keeping flowers in full bloom

I´m looking for answers from the great

Answers from the great, answers

I´m breaking through I´m bending spoons

I´m keeping flowers in full bloom

I´m looking for answers from the great beyond

I´m breaking through I´m bending spoons

I´m keeping flowers in full bloom

(Here's a little agit for the never believer)

I´m looking for answers from the great

(Here's a little ghost for the offering)

Answers from the great, answers

REM- Bad Day--best video ever!

Intro, played throughout verses

A public service announcement followed me home the other day.

I paid it nevermind. Go Away.

Shits so thick you could stir it with a stick-free Teflon whitewashed presidency.

We're sick of being jerked around, wear that on your sleeve.

Bridge

Broadcast me a joyful noise unto the times, lord, count your blessings.

We're sick of being jerked around we all fall down.

Verse

Have you ever seen the televised St. vitus subcommittee prize

Investigation dance? Those ants in pants glances.

Well,look behind the eyes. It's a hallowed hollow anesthetized

"save my own ass, screw these guys" smoke and mirror lock down.

Bridge

Broadcast me a joyful noise unto the times, lord, count your blessings.

The Papers wouldn't lie! I sigh, Not one more.

Chorus

(x2)

It's been a bad day.

Please don't take a picture.

It's been a bad day.

Please.

Verse

We're dug in deep the price is steep. The auctioneer is such a creep.

The lights went out, the oil ran dry we blamed it on the other guy.

Sure, all men are created equal. Heres the church, heres the steeple.

Please stay tuned-we cut to sequel. Ashes, ashes, we all fall down.

Bridge

Broadcast me a joyful noise unto the times, lord, count your blessings.

Ignore the law of fear. Ugh, this means war.

Chorus

It's been a bad day.

Please don't take a picture.

R.E.M. – What’s The Frequency, Kenneth?

Intro

Verse 1

“What’s the frequency, Kenneth?” Is your Benzedrine, uh-huh.

I was brain-dead, locked out, numb, not up to speed.

I thought I pegged you an idiot’s dream.

Tunnel vision from the insider’s screen.

I never understood the frequency, uh-huh.

You wore our expectations like an armoured suit, uh-huh.

Verse 2

I’d studied you’re cartoons, radio, music, TV, movies, magazines.

Richard said, “withdraw in disgust is not the same as apathy.”

A smile like the cartoon, tooth for a tooth.

You said that irony was the shackles of youth.

You wore a shirt of violent green, uh-huh.

I never understood the frequency, uh-huh.

INSTRUMENTAL [BUCK'S NEW VERSION, NOT FROM THE ORIGINAL RECORD]

Verse 3

“What’s the frequency, Kenneth?” Is your Benzedrine, uh-huh.

Butterfly decal, rear-view mirror, dogging the scene.

You smile like the cartoon, tooth for a tooth.

You said that irony was the shackles of youth.

You wore a shirt of violent green, uh-huh.

I never understood the frequency, uh-huh.

You wore our expectations like an armoured suit, uh-huh.

Verse 4

I couldn’t understand.

You said that irony was the shackled of youth, uh-huh.

I couldn’t understand.

You wore a shirt of violent green, uh-huh.

I couldn’t understand.

I never understood, don’t fuck with me, uh-huh.

<>[VERSE 1]

<!--<span-->B>

Oh, life is bigger

It's bigger than you

And you are not me.

The lengths that I will go to,

The distance in your eyes,

Oh no, I've said too much,

I set it up.

<>[CHORUS]

<!--<span-->B>

That's me in the corner,

That's me in the spotlight

Losing my religion.

Trying to keep up with you.

And I don't know if I can do it.

Oh no, I've said too much,

I haven't said enough.

<>[BRIDGE]

<!--<span-->B>

I thought that I heard you laughing,

I thought that I heard you sing.

I think I thought I saw you try.

<>[VERSE 2]

<!--<span-->B>

Every Whisper of every waking hour

I'm choosing my confessions,

Trying to keep an eye of you

Like a hurt lost and blinded fool, fool

Oh no, I've said too much,

I set it up.

<>[VERSE 3]

<!--<span-->B>

Consider this, consider this,

The hint of a century,

Consider this: the slip

That brought me to my knees failed.

What if all these fantasies

Come flailing around?

Now I've said too much.

Losing my religion.

Trying to keep up with you.

I haven't said enough.

<>[BRIDGE]

<!--<span-->B>

I thought that I heard you laughing,

First VERSE

Look up, what do you see?

All of you and all of me

Fluorescent and starry

Some of them, they surprise

The bus ride, I went to write this, 4:00 a.m.

This letter

Fields of poppies, little pearls

All the boys and all the girls sweet-toothed

Each and every one a little scary

I said your name

I wore it like a badge of teenage film stars

Hash bars, cherry mash and tinfoil tiaras

Dreaming of Maria Callas

Whoever she is

This fame thing, I don't get it

I wrap my hand in plastic to try to look through it

Maybelline eyes and girl-as-boy moves

I can take you far

This star thing, I don't get it

Chorus

I'll take you over, there

I'll take you over, there

Aluminum, tastes like fear

Adrenaline, it pulls us near

Picking Style:

Play with a pick or finger

While fretting the entire chord

Intro, same as chorus:

Verse 1

(* For all the verses, the F's, C's, and Am's are played as barre

chords, the F's in A formation, the C's and Am's in E form. He

upstrokes them in pairs, on what sounds like a big hollowbody electric.

The placement of the chords over the words here is inteneded only to

to denote their *approximate* temporal location. Listen to the song

and you'll be able to hear and feel where they actually go.*)

This here is the place where I will be stayin'

There isn't a number you can call on the payphone, let it ring a long,long,

long, long time

If I don't pick up, hang up, call back let it ring some more

[Untranscribable Stipe yodel]

If I don't pick up, pick up, the sidewinder sleep, sleep, sleeps in a coil

Chorus 1

*I won't even try to pretend that I know what he's

Verse 2

There's scratches all around the coinslot, like a heartbeat baby, tryin' to

wake up

But this machine can only swallow money, you can't lay a patch by computer

design

With just alot of stupid, stupid signs

["Tell her" yodeled]

Tell her she can kiss my ass and say that you were

Only kidding, that way she'll know that it's really, really, really,

really me

Chorus 2

(*Same as chorus one, including transition*)

Verse 3

(*Short verse*)

Baby eat some soup, does it really grab me today I need something more

sub-stub-sub-substantial

A can of beans, some black eyed peas, some Nescafe and ice

A candy bar, a fall(*en/in'*) star, or a reading from Doctor Seuss

Chorus 3

Bridge

(*During the bridge, Am and Bm are played as A barres, and the picking

pattern is like this:

The C below is picked in the same pattern, i.e. A str, D str, e str, B str*)

The cat in the hat came back, and wrecked alot of havoc

On the way, always had a smile and a reason to pretend

That their world, was flat back brown, too little, need to sleep but to dream

The sidewinder sleeps on his back

Chorus 3 and outro:

(*The chorus is the same*)

We got a boogy-woogy groove on this one

Chorus

Call me when you try to wake her up, call me when you try to wake her

Call me when you try to wake her up, call me when you try to wake her

Call me when you try to wake her up, call me when you try to wake her

While you party

You've been looking

But your searching never ends

You've been going

With the wrong crowd

You've got all the right friends

I just don't want you anymore

I don't wanna be with you anymore

I just don't want you anymore

Rave on!

Fall to...fall to...fall to...fall too

Fall to...fall to...fall to...fall too

I don't wanna be with you anymore

I just don't want you anymore

I don't wanna be with you anymore

I just don't want you anymore

I know you say

Maybe some day

I need never be alone

I know I say

It's the right way

But you'll never be alone

For a long, long time

I don't gotta hang out

With the folks...that just aren't mine

I don't wanna be with you anymore

I just don't want you anymore

I don't wanna be with you anymore

I just don't want you anymore

The whole sond goes like this. Play the root of the chord first

then the 4th 5th and 6th srings follow and then back up.

When the day is long and the night, the night is yours alone

When you're sure you've had enough of this life, well hang on

Don't let yourself go, everybody cries

and everybody hurts sometimes

Sometimes everything is wrong, now it's time to sing along

When your day is night alone (hold on, hold on)

If you feel like letting go (hold on)

When you think you've had too much of this life, well hang on

Everybody hurts, take comfort in your friends

Everybody hurts,

Bridge

Don't throw your hand, oh no, don't throw your hand

when you feel like you're alone, no, no, no, you are not alone

If you're on your own in this life, the days and nights are long

When you think you've had too much, of this life, to hang on

Well everybody hurts, sometimes

Everybody cries, everybody hurts, sometimes

But everybody hurts sometimes so hold on, hold on, hold on,

Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on,

Everybody hurts

You are not alone

"At My Most Beautiful"&#8232;R.E.M. - At My Most Beautiful

From the album - UP (1998)

x3

I've found a way to make you

I've found a way

A way to make you smile

I read bad poetry

Into your machine.

I save your messages

Just to hear your voice.

You always listen carefully

To awkward rhymes.

You always say your name,

Like I wouldn't know it's you,

At your most beautiful.

I've found a way to make you

I've found a way

A way to make you smile

At my most beautiful

I count your eyelashes,

Secretly.

With every one, whisper I love you.

I let you sleep.

I know you're closed eye watching me,

Listening.

I though I saw a smile.

I've found a way to make you

I've found a way

A way to make you smile

NIGHTSWIMMING (Easy Chords - for Acoustic Strumming)

REM

Intro

(x1)

Verse 1

Night - swimming...

deserves a quiet night.

The..

photograph on the dashboard,

taken years ago,

turned around backwards so the windshield shows.

Every streetlight reveals the

picture in re-verse.

Still it's so much clearer.

I forgot my shirt at the

water's edge. The moon is low to-

-night.

Intro

(x1)

Verse 2

Night - swimming...

deserves a quiet night. I’m

not sure all these people under-

-stand. It’s not like years

ago. The fear of getting

caught, of recklessness and

water. They cannot see me

naked. These things they go

away, replaced by every(day).

Verse 3

-day. Night - swimming...

remembering that night. Sep-

-tember's coming soon. I'm

pining for the moon. And

what if there were two side by

side in orbit around the fairest

sun? That bright, tight for-

swimming.

Verse 4

You, I thought I knew you.

You, I can-not judge.

You, I thought you knew me. This one’s

laughing quiet-ly under-

-neath my breath. Night-

swimming.

Nightswimming deserves a quiet night.&#8232;

The photograph on the dashboard, taken years ago,&#8232;

Turned around backwards so the windshield shows.&#8232;

Every streetlight reveals the picture in reverse.

I forgot my shirt at the water's edge.

&#8232;The moon is low tonight.&#8232;&#8232;

Nightswimming deserves a quiet night.

&#8232;I'm not sure all these people understand.&#8232;

It's not like years ago,&#8232;

The fear of getting caught,

&#8232;Of recklessness and water.&#8232;

They cannot see me naked.&#8232;

These things, they go away,&#8232;

Replaced by everyday.&#8232;&#8232;

Nightswimming, remembering that night.

&#8232;September's coming soon.

&#8232;I'm pining for the moon.&#8232;

And what if there were two&#8232;

Side by side in orbit&#8232;

Around the fairest sun?

&#8232;That bright, tight forever drum&#8232;

Could not describe nightswimming.&#8232;&#8232;

You, I thought I knew you.&#8232;

You I cannot judge.&#8232;

You, I thought you knew me,

&#8232;this one laughing quietly

underneath my breath.&#8232;

Nightswimming.&#8232;

&#8232;The photograph reflects,

&#8232;Every streetlight a reminder.&#8232;

Nightswimming

deserves a quiet night,

deserves a quiet night.
