Monty Got A Raw Deal

Biography:

R.E.M. was an American rock band from Athens, Georgia, formed in 1980 by drummer Bill Berry, guitarist Peter Buck, bassist/backing vocalist Mike Mills, and lead vocalist Michael Stipe. One of the first alternative rock bands, R.E.M. was noted for Buck's ringing, arpeggiated guitar style, Stipe's distinctive vocal quality and obscure lyrics, Mills's melodic basslines and backing vocals, and Berry's tight, economical style of drumming.

R.E.M. released its first single—"Radio Free Europe"—in 1981 on the independent record label Hib-Tone.

MONTY GOT A RAW DEAL

Intro: Gm Bb

Gm Bb
Dm C G

Gm Bb Gm Bb
Monty this seems strange to me, the movies had that movie thing
Gm Bb Dm C G
But nonsense has a welcome ring and heros don't come easy

Gm Bb Gm Bb
Now nonsense isn't new to me, I know my head I know my feet
Gm Bb Dm C G Dm C G
But mischief knocked me in the knees so just let go, just let go

Gm Bb Gm Bb
I saw the ocean meet the man, I saw you buried in the sand
Gm Bb Dm C G
A friend was there to hold my hand, so walk on by

Gm Bb Gm Bb
So I went walking through the stream, I saw you strung up in a tree
Gm Bb Dm C G Dm C G
A woman out there said to me, said hold your tongue, hold your tongue

Bb Dm C G Bb Dm C G
You don't owe me anything, you don't want this sympathy [waste your breath]
Bb Dm C Dm C G
Don't you waste your breath [waste your breath] for the silver screen

Gm Bb Gm Bb
That nonsense doesn't mean a thing, they tried to bust you in a sting
Gm Bb Dm C G
But virtue isn't everything so don't waste time

Gm Bb Gm Bb
Now Here's a rhyme that you must hear, put this on your reel to reel
Gm Bb Dm C G Dm C G
Mischief through a rotten deal, Monty's laying low, he is laying low
Dm C G Dm C G
Just let go, just let go

Bb Dm C G Bb Dm C G
You don't owe me anything, you don't want this sympathy [waste your breath]
Bb Dm C Bb Dm C G
Don't you waste your breath [waste your breath] Monty this seems strange to me
