R.E.M. - Chorus And The Ring: chords

 A                    D             A
Hey there now young wholly, swing along
             D                   A
Quote the scriptures, keep them guessing
           D              A
Which pit you crawled from

Just defy it, just deny it
Was it fun?
Your time has come
What have you done?
What have you done?

Chorus:
D                  Bm              D
That's when the insults start to sting
             E
You can't remember anything
D            E                   D
The Chorus chime in, the Greek Chorus
        E           A
The machine of God singing

It's the poison that in measures brings
Illuminating vision
It's the knowing with a wink
that we expect in Southern women
It's the wolf that knows
which root to dig to save itself
It's the octopus that crawled back to the sea

Chorus:
That's when the insults start to sting
You can't remember anything
The Chorus chime in, the Greek Chorus
The machine of God ring

Hammered, shooting plywood in the backyard
Laughing cause the racket makes
the blackbirds sing
Write the holy terror
Suck the marrow from the bones
Singe your own wings burning books
You got the Chorus and the ring

Chorus:
That's when the insults start to sting
You can't remember anything
The Chorus chime in, the Greek Chorus
The machine sings
That's when the insults start to sting
You can't remember anything
The Chorus chime in, the Greek Chorus
The machine sings
That's when the calibration brittle
As a stick gets you the gold ring
And the tar museum Che Guevara wink
Gold ring
Gold ring

Sing
Sing
Sing
Sing
