Capo: 2
An REM cover off GBS's 1997 album, "Play". None of the chords on here sound correct to me. So, I decided to finally figure out the chords myself. Very easy, only 3 chords. Not nearly as easy to sing, however! -Standard Tuning- -Capo on the 2nd fret- -The chords are played as follows:- *All chords relative to the capo* D: xx0232 A: x02220 G: 320003 (PM) = Palm mute the chord (Ring) = Let the chord ring [Intro] D (PM) A (PM) G (Ring) G It's the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine [Verse 1]
DThat's great, it starts with an Gearthquake, birds, snakes, an aDeroplanes, Lenny Bruce is Gnot afraid. DEye of a hurricane, listen to yourself churn - wGorld serves its own needs, dummy serve your own needs. FDeed it off an aux speak, grunt, no, strength, LGadder start to clatter with fear fight down height. DWire in a fire, representing seven games, a Ggovernment for hire and a combat site. DLeft of west and coming in a hurry with the furies breathing Gdown your neck. DTeam
by team reporters baffled, trumped, tethered cropped.
GLook at that low playing! Fine, then. DUh oh, overflow, population, common food, Gbut it'll do. Save yourself, serve yourself. World serves its Down needs, listen to your heart bleed dummy with the Grapture and the revered and the right, right. You vitriDolic, patriotic, slam, fight, bright light, fGeeling pretty G (PM) psyched.
[Chorus]
It's the Dend of the Aworld as we kGnow it It's the Dend of the Aworld as we kGnow it It's the Dend of the Aworld as we kGnow it, and I feel fine
[Verse 2] Six o'clock - TV hour. Don't get caught in foreign towers. Slash and burn, return, listen to yourself churn. Locking in, uniforming, book burning, blood letting. Every motive escalate. Automotive incinerate. Light a votive, light a candle. Step down, step down. Watch your heel crush, crushed, uh-oh, this means no fear cavalier. Renegade steer clear! A tournament, tournament, a tournament of lies. Offer me solutions, offer me alternatives and I decline. [Chorus] (x2) *Palm mute on the 2nd chorus* It's the end of the world as we know it It's the end of the world as we know it It's the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine [Verse 3] The other night I dreamt of knives, continental drift divide. Mountains sit in a line, Leonard Bernstein. Leonid Brezhnev, Lenny Bruce and Lester Bangs. Birthday party, cheesecake, jelly bean, boom! You symbiotic, patriotic, slam book neck, right? Right. [Chorus] (x2) It's the end of the world as we know it It's the end of the world as we know it It's the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine [End on D]
