R.E.M.

Lifes rich pageant album

A birdy and a hand for life's rich demand
The insurgency began and you missed it
I looked for it and I found it
Miles Standish proud congratulate me
When the land and sky murders you (???)
Life's rich demand creates supply and demand
Of the powers the only book that matters
Silence means security silence means approval
We have Zenith on the TV tiger run around the tree
Follow the leader run the churn into butter
Let's begin again begin the begin
Let's begin again like Martin Luther Zen
The mythology begins the begin
Answer me a question I can't itemize
I can't think clearly look to me for reason
It's not there I can't even rhyme begin the begin
Example the finest example is you
Let's begin again begin the begin
Let's begin again
Begin The Begin (Another interpretation)
========================================

And the rest of it follows this pattern
Birdie in the hand, for the lights which demand
The insugency which began and we missed it
The philanderers tied the murderer's shoes
These Days
==========

Now I'm not feeding off you I will rearrange your scales
If I can and I can
Marching the ocean marching to the sea
I had a hat I put it down into some quicksand
Picked it up slapped it on my head
All the people gather
Carry each his burden
We are young despite the years we are concern
We are hope despite the times
Settle on these days
Happy throngs take this joy wherever, wherever....

I wish to meet each one of you
And you meet you if I can and I can
We have many things in common name three
Now I'm not feeding off you I will rearrange your scales
If I can and I can
I wish to meet each one of you and you me you
Fall On Me
==========
Intro : a little ditty around a C chord
There's a problem feathers iron
Bargain buildings weights and pulleys
Feathers hit the ground before the weight can leave the air
Buy the sky and sell the sky and tell the sky and tell the sky
Chorus :
Don't fall on me
(What is it up in the air for)
(It's gonna fall)
Fall on me
(If it's there for long) (It's gonna fall)

Fall on me
(It's over it's over me) (It's gonna fall)
There's the progress we have found
A way to talk around the problem
Building towered foresight isn't anything at all
Buy the sky and sell the sky and bleed the sky and tell the sky
Chorus
Bridge :
Well I could keep it above
But then it wouldn't be sky anymore
So if I send it to you, you've got to promise to keep it home
Buy the sky and sell the sky and lift your arms up to the sky
And ask the sky and ask the sky
Chorus to fade
Fall On Me

Underneath The Bunker
=====================
Here is a transcription to Underneath The Bunker!!! The first part
is played 2 times at the beginning and then the second part 2 times
and then finally play the first part twice again. The song then ends
on the E chord.
The First Part

The Second Part

I will hide and you will hide
And we shall hide together again
Underneath the bunker in the night
I have water I have rum
Waiting for cold and dark shall come
Underneath the bunker in the night
The Flowers Of Guatemala
========================
(Intro: E A)
(Buck plays E on 7th fret, A on 5th fret, I believe)
(verse)
I took a picture that I'll have to send
People here are friendly and content
People here are colorful and bright
The flowers often bloom at night
(chorus)
Amanita is the name
The flowers cover everything
The flowers cover everything
(repeat pattern for verse)
There's something here I find hard to ignore
There's something that I've never seen before
Amanita is the name they
Cover over everything
(chorus)
(bridge)
Don't look into the sun
Don't look into the sun
(solo)
(play verse chords)

repeat chorus
repeat verse
I Believe
=========
{On this song, you can simulate that little guitar melody by starting
off with a plain jane E-chord, then playing an Esus4, and then stretch
your pinky down to the 4th fret of the D string to make that F# note.}
When I was young and full of grace
and spirited a rattlesnake
When I was young and fever fell
My spirit I will not tell
You're on your honor not to tell
I believe in coyotes and time as an abstract
Explain the change the difference between
What you want and what you need there's the key
Your adventure for today what do you do
Between the hours of the day
And change is what I believe in
When I was young and give and take
And foolish said my fool awake
When I was young and fever fell
My spirit I will not tell
You're on your honor on your honor
Trust in your calling make sure your calling's true
Think of others the others think of you
Silly rule golden words make practice practice makes perfect
Perfect is a fault and fault lines change
I believe my humor's wearing thin
And change is what I believe in
I believe my shirt is wearing thin
And change is what I believe in
When I was young and full of grace
And spirit hid a rattlesnake
When I was young and fever fell
My spirit I will not tell
You're on your honor not to tell
I believe in example
I believe my throat hurts
Example is the checker to the key
I believe my humor's wearing thin
And I believe the holds are slipping
I believe my shirt is wearing thin
And change is what I believe in

Hurrah we are all free now
What noisy cats are we
Girl and dog he bore his cross
A long low time ago people talk to me
Johnny Reb what's the price of pans
Forty a piece or three for one dollar
Hey captain don't you want to buy
Some bone chains and toothpicks
Night weaves her hair chains
Years you wouldn't bring back sing
Wooden beams and dove tails sweep
I struck that picture ninety times
I walked that path a hundred ninety
Long low time ago people talk to me
A pistol hot cup of rhyme
The whiskey is water the water is wine
Marching feet Johnny Reb what's the price of heroes
Six and one half dozen the other
Tell that to the captain's mother
Hey captain don't you want to buy
Some bone chains and toothpicks
Night weaves her hair chains
Swan swan hummingbird
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
