R.E.M. - Parakeet: chords

     G      Bm      E
you wake up in the morning
     G       Bm       E
and fall out of your bed
G    Bm       E
mean cat eat parakeets
      D         C      B
and this one's nearly dead.

You dearly wish the wind would shift
And greasy window slide
Open for the parakeet
Who's colored bitter lime

Chorus:
Em        C
open the window
    Am               Bm   D
and lift into your dreams
 Em    C
Baby, baby
 Am              D    B7
you can barely breathe.

A broken wrist An accident
You know that something's wrong
You fold the leavings of your past
No one knows you've gone

The sunspot flares of the early
Nineties light up your wings
And scan the shortwave radio
It's tracking outer rings

Chorus

The tectonic dispatcher shifts
To smooth the ocean floor
And flattens out to warmer winds
Of Brisbane's sunny shore
Where Buddhas tend to mending wrists
A tea made from the leaves
Of eucalyptus fragrances
And coriander seeds

Chorus:
Open the window
To lift into a dream
Baby, baby
You can start to breathe
Open the window
To lift into a dream
Baby, baby
You can start to breathe

You wake up in the morning
To warm Pacific breeze
Where mean cats chew on licorice
And cannot climb the trees
