Intro: B

Verse:

It's only when your poison spins into the life you'd hoped to live

and suddenly you wake up in a shaken panic now

You had set me up like a lamb to slaughter

Garbo as a farmer's daughter

Unbelievable, the gospel according to who?

I lay right down

Chorus:

All your sad and lost apostles

hum my name and flare their nostrils

Choking on the bones you tossed to them

now I'm not one to sit and spin

because living well's the best revenge

Baby, I am calling you on that

Verse:

Don't turn your talking points on me.

History will set me free

The future is ours and you don't even rate a footnote now!

So who's chasing you? Where did you go?

You disappear mid-sentence

In a judgement crisis I see my in and go for it

You weakened shill.

Chorus:

All your sad and lost apostles

hum my name and flare their nostrils

Choking on the bones you tossed to them

now I'm not one to sit and spin

because living well is the best revenge

and baby, I am calling you on that

Verse:

You savor your dying breath

I forgive but I don't forget

You work it out, let's hear that argument again

Camera three... GO NOW!

Chorus:

All your sad and lost apostles

hum my name and flare their nostrils

Choking on the bones you tossed to them

now I'm not one to sit and spin

because living well is the best revenge

and baby, I am calling you on that

Baby, I am calling you on that

Baby, I am calling you on that

End on B

Why're you tryin' to se-cond guess me?

I am tired of se-cond guessing.

What will be your look this season?

Who will be your book this season?

Oh.... Oh.... Oh....

Here we are Here we are Here we are

Why're you tryin' to se-cond guess me?

I am tired of se-cond guessing.

What will be your look this season?

Be in my club, write a book this season

Oh.... Oh.... Oh....

LETTER NEVER SENT

Chords by: Jeremy Price

Corrections by: Jonathan Blanks (joblanks@vt.edu)

Tuned guitar down 1/2 step

Intro:

1 a & a 2 a & a 3 a & a 4 a & a 1 a & a 2 a & a 3 a & a 4 a & a

After the beginning part there are these series of chords :

And then the chorus:

Heaven's yours Heavens yours Heavens yours...etc

There there is this part:

When I'm moving too fast Where's my new address?

Lyrics:

It's been pretty simple so far, vacation in Athens is calling me

And knock, knock, knock on wood, I thought I'd left you behind

Heaven is yours, heaven is yours, heaven's yours where I live

The thought of the catacombs left my soul at home

This letter never sent

And it's so far, it's so dark, i'm so lost

Heaven's yours, heaven's yours, heaven's yours where I live

(Another story, another story for a while, someone show me)

When I'm moving too fast, where's my new address?

The water is evening now, the catacombs are filling in

If my soul was made of stone, no, not, not so dark, dark

And it's so far, it's so dark, i'm so lost

And it's so far, it's so far, it's so far

Heaven's yours, heaven's yours, heaven's yours where I live

(Another story, another story for a while, someone show me)

Heaven's yours, heaven's yours, heaven's yours where I live

(Another story, another story for a while, someone show me)

Staring Down The Barrel of The Middl Distance

Verse:

E D2 x However many times necessary

Pre-Chorus Chords:

A5 G5 x How ever many times necessary

Chorus Chords:

(All these patterns just happen many times over)

Now the hope for the future took a pounding in the parking lot

And the answer for today is all I got

When your name is called the lights went down

The time is the essence excuse me

And I'm blinking at the vanishing point of what I thought

Staring down the barrel of the middle distance

God knows I've tried

I close my eyes

I close my eyes

I close my eyes

I greet despair to a standard prayer

If you call for the future I don't care

And I turn you round to face me here

There's a compass raised with a familiar tone

With a voice that needles me to the bone

Staring down the barrel of the middle distance

God knows I've tried

I close my eyes

I close my eyes

Whose position shifts cause its been effect

If you can't hit play cause the button sticks

Ignorance is bliss, I can't say

There's a compass raised with familiar tone

With a voice that needles you to the bone

You're left with chaos, static and delay

Staring down the barrel of the middle distance

Staring down the barrel of the middle distance

God knows I've tried

I close my eyes

I close my eyes

I close my eyes

Staring down the barrel of the middle distance

God knows I've tried

I close my eyes

I close my eyes

DISTURBANCE AT THE HERON HOUSE (Version 1)

(Solo taken from Wayne Ellis' version)

{Intro riff:}

Dsus2 {Peter is just picking through

"They're going wild," the call came in a Dsus2 chord during the

At early morning pre-dawn, then verses}

"The followers of chaos out of control

They're numbering the monkeys

The monkeys and the monkeys,"

The followers of chaos out of control

The call came in to Party Central

"Meeting of the green and simple,"

Try to tell us something we don't know

{Intro riff x 2}

"They're meeting at the monument,"

The call came in the monument

To liberty and honor under the honor roll

"They've gathered up the cages the cages and courageous,"

The followers of chaos out of control

The call came in to Party Central

"Meeting of the green and simple,"

Try to tell us something we don't know

{Solo:}

{Intro riff x 4}

"Disturbance at the Heron House"

A stampede at the monument

To liberty and honor under the honor roll

The gathering of grunts and greens

Cogs and grunts and hirelings

A meeting of a mean idea to hold

"When feeding time has come and gone

They'll lose the heart and head for home

Try to tell us something we don't know"

{Intro riff to end}

Everyone allowed, Everyone allowed

Intro: E5

[Verse]

Mr. Richards, your position is a messenger pigeon,

left behind you when the camp moved on.

You thought that you had listened but the words had never crystallized,

into a truth that you might own, hey hey

[Chorus]

Mr Richards your decision, pay attention pay attention

[Verse]

Mr. Richards your forgiven for a narrow lack of vision,

but the firesare still raging on...

The public's got opinions and these consequences border on the compound that

razed where zealots sang, hey, hey

[Chorus]

Mr. Richards, your decision, pay attention, pay attention

[Bridge]

So listen, your intention, sign the paper, stamp the ribbon,

You're mistaken if you think we'll just forget.

You can thump your chest and rattle, stand in front of your piano but,

We know, what's going on, Yes, we know what's going on,

We're the children of the choir hey,

And we know what's going on.

[Verse]

Mr. Richards your conviction, had us cheering in the kitchen,

now the jury's eating pigeon pie,

So tell me how is prison, have they taught you how to listen?,

We've begun to bridge the schism, pay attention pay attention,

[Chorus]

Mr. Richards your decision, pay attention, pay attention.

[Bridge]

You can thump your chest and rattle,stand in front of your piano but,

We know what's going on, Yes we know what's going on,

We're the children of the choir hey, from the compound fire hey,

And we know what's going on,

Yes we know what's going on.

Notes:

In the verse it seems that Peter does not hit the high e string but he

strums every chord once and then the stays at the melodic strings til the

next chord.

If the storm doesn't kill me

the government will

D5 Am7 Fill1

I've gotta get that out of my head

It's a new day today and the coffee is strong

D Am7 Fill11

I finally got some rest

So a man's put to task and challenges

I was taught to hold my head high

Collect what is mine,

Make the best of what today has

D* C* Fill2

Houston is filled with promise

D* C*

Laredo's a beautiful place

D* C* Fill2

and Galveston sings like that song that I loved

Its meaning has not been erased

And so there are claims forgiven

And so there are things that are gone

Houston is filled with promise

Laredo is a beautiful place

and Galveston sings like that song that I loved

Its meaning has not been erased

And some things, they fall to the wayside

Their memory is yet to be stilled

Belief has not failed me

And so I am put to the test

New Test Leper

I can't say that I love Jesus

that would be a hollow claim.

He did make some observations

and I'm quoting them today.

"Judge not lest ye be judged."

what a beautiful refrain.

The studio audience disagrees.

Have his lambs all gone astray?

Call me a leper

Call me a leper

Call me a leper

"You are lost and disillusioned!"

what an awful thing to say.

I know this show doesn't matter.

It means nothing to me.

I thought I might help them understand

but what an ugly thing to see.

"I am not an animal"

subtitled under the screen.

Call me a leper

Call me a leper

Call me a leper

{Bridge}: Bm D

When I tried to tell my story

They cut me off to take a break.

I sat silent 5 commercials

I had nothing left to say

The talk show host was index-carded

All organized and blank

The other guests were scared and hardened

What a sad parade.

What a sad parade

Call me a leper

Call me a leper

Call me a leper

R.E.M. – Cuyahoga

BASS INTRO [CAN BE PLAYED ON GUITAR]

E|--------------------------------------------| × 1

VERSE 1

Let's put our heads together

and start a new country up.

Our father's father's father tried,

erased the parts he didn't like.

Let's try to fill it in,

bank the quarry river, swim.

We knee-skinned it you and me;

We knee-skinned that river red.

BRIDGE

This is where we walked,

this is where we swam.

Take a picture here,

take a souvenir.

VERSE 2

This land is the land of ours,

this river runs red over it.

We knee-skinned it you and me;

we knee-skinned that river red.

And we gathered up our friends,

bank the quarry river, swim.

We knee-skinned it you and me;

underneath the river bed.

BRIDGE

This is where we walked,

this is where we swam.

Take a picture here,

take a souvenir.

CHORUS

Cuyahoga.

Cuyahoga, is gone.

VERSE 3

Let's put our heads together,

start a new country up.

Underneath the river bed

we burned the river down.

BRIDGE

This is where they walked, swam,

hunted, danced and sang.

Take a picture here,

take a souvenir.

CHORUS

Cuyahoga.

Cuyahoga, is gone.

BREAK

Rewrite the book and rule the pages,

saving face, secured in faith.

Bury, burn the waste

Behind you.

E|--------------------------------------------| × 1

VERSE 4

This land is the land of ours,

this river runs red over it.

We are not your allies,

we can not defend.

BRIDGE

This is where they walked,

this is where they swam.
