R.E.M. - Green Grow The Rushes: chords

D                  G
The wheelbarrow's fallen
Bm          E
Look at my hands
         D                   G
They've found some surplus cheaper hands
Bm                 E
Rubbing palms and pick and choose
                D   G Bm E
Who will they choose?
             D  G Bm E
Here is the news

Look at that building
Look at this man
Haloed and whitewashed
Gone to find a cheaper hand
He'll offer a pound
Offer a pound

Chorus:
A               G
Green grow the rushes go
A               G
Green grow the rushes go
A               G
Green grow the rushes go
     Bm
The compass points the workers home

Pay for your freedom
Or find another gate
Guilt by associate
The rushes wilted a long time ago
Guilty as you go

Stay off that highway
Word is, it's not so safe
The grasses that hide the greenback
The amber waves of gain again
The amber waves of grain

Chorus

 D              D G Bm A
La-la-la la la lye
 D              D
La-la-la la la lye (green grow the rushes go)
 D              D
La-la-la la la lye (green grow the rushes go)
 D              D
La-la-la la la lye
                         G Bm A
(green grow the rushes go)

 D              D
La-la-la la la lye (green grow the rushes go)
 D              D
La-la-la la la lye (green grow the rushes go)
 D              D
La-la-la la la lye (green grow the rushes go)
