"Monster" album by REM

(Solo taken from _Guitar World_ January 1995)

"What's the frequency, Kenneth?" is your Benzedrine, uh-huh

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

I thought I'd pegged you an idiot's dream

Tunnel vision from the outsider's screen

I never understood the frequency, uh-huh

You wore our expectations like an armored suit, uh-huh

A D Bm G A D A *Fill1 G

I'd studied your cartoons, radio, music, tv, movies, magazines

A D Bm G A D Bm *Fill2 E

Richard said, "Withdrawal 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

Solo:

Butterfly decal, rearview 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 armored suit, uh-huh

I couldn't understand

You said that irony was the shackles 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

End on D.

Walking down the street

She's a real woman-child

Oh my kiss breath turpentine

I am smitten

I'm the real thing (I'm the real thing)

Have you seen her come around?

My crush with eyeliner

I'm imbibed

I'm infatuated

It's all too much pressure

She's all that I can take

What position should I wear?

Cop an attitude? (Fake her)

How can I convince her? (Fake her)

What can I make myself be?

Life is strange, yeah (Life is strange)

What can I make myself be (Fake her)

To make her mine?

I am smitten

I'll do anything (I'll do anything)

A kiss breath turpentine,

my crush with eyeliner

I am smitten

I could be your Frankenstein

my crush with eyeliner

I am smitten

I'm the real thing (I'm the real thing)

Won't you be my valentine?

My crush with eyeliner

KING OF COMEDY

Chords by: Bryan Killingsworth (akilling@pen.k12.va.us)

Make your money with a suit and tie

Make your money with a true denial

Make your money with expert advice,

If you can wing it (before chorus hold 1st A on this line)

Make your money with a power ply

Make your money with a buyout bribe

Make it lie as long as you mean it

Chorus:

I'm not King of Comedy

Grease the pig, give a squeeze (squeeze me)

Make your money with exploitation

Make it holy illumination

Say a prayer at every station

Don't forget to ask for mercy

Make your money with a pretty face

Make it easy with product placement

Make it charged with controversy

I'm straight, I'm queer, I'm bi

I'm not king of comedy,

I'm not your magazine,

I'm not your television

{Bridge:} G5 Slide (8x)

Make your money, make it rich

make it young and make it quick

Make your money on the jukebox, baby,

let's pick up sticks

Make your enemies make your moves

Make your critics stumble through

Make it smart and make it schmooze

Make it look easy

I'm not king of comedy,

I'm not your magazine,

I'm not your television

I'm not your movie screen

I'm not commodity (all together now)

{Following chords are picked:}

I'm not commodity

I'm not commodity

I'm not commodity

I'm not commodity

I DON'T SLEEP, I DREAM

[Riff]:

B----5--5---5sl/3--0h3---

[Riff]

I'm looking for an interruption,

do you believe?

You looking, did my dreams

Be prepared for anything

You come into my little scene

Hooray hooray hip hip hooray

There's one thing I can guarantee:

You won't have to dig, dig too deep

Said leave me to lay, but touch me deep,

I don't sleep, I dream

I'll settle for a cup of coffee, but you know what I really need

[Riff]

Are you looking to drive my dreams?

You here to run my screens?

You come, deliver my demons

Hooray hooray hip hip hooray

Are you coming to ease my headache?

Do you give good head?

Am I good in bed?

I don't know, I guess so

I don't sleep, I dream

I'll settle for a cup of coffee, but you know what I really need

[Riff]

I'm looking for an interruption,

can you believe?

Some medicine for my headache

Hooray hooray hip hip hooray

I'm pitching for a new direction

Pinch me when I wake

Don't tell me my dreams are fake

you leave me to lay, you touch me deep,

I don't sleep, I dream

I'll settle for a cup of coffee, but you know what I really need

Leave me to lay, but touch me deep,

I don't sleep, I dream

I'll settle for a cup of coffee, but you know what I really need

[Riff to end]

STAR 69

You don't have to take the bar exam to see

What you did is Ignoramus 1 0 3

Where have I got to hang my hat

you don't have line to me all this just to be your friend.

I was there to tell you

extortion and arson, petty larceny.

I know you called. I know you called. I know you called.

I know you called. I know you called. I know you hung up my line.

Star 69.

I know all about the warehouse fire.

I know squirrelies didn't chew the wire.

Three people have my number, the other two were with me.

I don't stand tall, but I'm not your patsy.

This time you have gone too far with me.

I know you called. I know you called. I know you called.

I know you called. I know you called. I know you hung up my line.

Star 69.

{Break:} B-3bw3r(pickoff)0-

Why'd you put your quarter down on me?

This reads like some dark Inside Edition, Hard Copy.

I can't be your character witness, I can't be your alibi.

Don't arrange the FBI, here this spy versus spy.

You my friend are guilty as can be.

I know you called. I know you called. I know you called.

I know you called. I know you called. I know you hung up my line.

I know you called. I know you called. I know you called.

I know you called. I know you called. I can't be your alibi.

Star 69.

Thanks to Chris Bray (csb1@engr.uark.edu) for lyrics and first draft of TAB.

Fill:

Pattern 1:

Pattern 2:

[Fill] [Pattern 1]

[Pattern 1]

I don't know why you're mean to me

[Pattern 2]

When I call on the telephone

[Pattern 1]

and I don't know what you mean to me

but I want to turn you on,

[Pattern 2]

turn you up, figure you out, want to take you on

These words, "You will be mine"

These words, "You will be mine, all the time"

[Fill]

[Pattern 1]

The Fool might be my middle name

[Pattern 2]

But I'd be foolish not to say

[Pattern 1]

Going to make whatever it takes,

ring you up, call you down, sign your name, secret love

[Pattern 2]

Couldn't I take you in and make you mine?

These words, "You will be mine"

These words, "You will be mine, all the time", oh

I tripped and fell, did I fall?

What I want you to feel,

I want to feel it now

[Pattern 1]

You know with love come strange currencies

[Pattern 2]

And here is my appeal:

[Pattern 1]

I need a chance, a second chance, a third chance, a fourth chance,

a word, a signal, a nod, a little breath

[Pattern 2]

just to fool myself, catch myself, to make it real, real

These words, "You will be mine"

These words, "You will be mine, all the time", oh

These words, "You will be mine"

These words haunt me, hunt me down, catch in my throat, make me pray,

say love's combined, oh

[Fill]

End on a C chord
