R.E.M. fue una influyente banda estadounidense surgida en 1980 en el Estado de Georgia (EE.UU.), pionera del denominado rock alternativo e inspiración de bandas de desarrollo posterior.
En la década de los 70, plena era punk, un estudiante de arte llamado Michael Stipe conoce a un coleccionista de LP´s de los años 60 llamado Peter Buck. Ambos se unen a dos músicos experimentados, Mike Mills y Bill Berry, y comienzan a tocar en pubs locales en la ciudad de Athens.
¡Cuatro años de duro trabajo!Este mes de mayo cumplimos cuatro años al aire. Seguimos trabajando en la difusión de este maravilloso instrumento, ¡gracias por participar en nuestra historia!

This name I got we all agreed See could stop stop it will rid We could bind it in the cist We could gather, throw a fit
Up to buy, Katie buys a kitchen-size, but not me in Setting trap for love, making a waste of time, sitting still
I'm the sign and you can read. I'm the sign and you're not deaf. We could bind it in the cist. We could gather, throw a fit.

{same as intro} I can hear you. I can hear you. I can hear you.
You can gather when I talk, talk until you're blue You could get away from me. Get away from me.

Lyrics:
Steady repetition is a compulsion mutually reenforced. Now what does that mean? Is there a just contradiction? Nothing much. Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep. If I should die before I wake, I pray the Lord, hesitate.
Got to punch Right on target Twisting tongues Gotta stripe down his back all nine yards down her back
Give me a couple, Don't give me a couple of pointers, Turn to lies and conversation fear
Got to punch Right on target Twisting tongues Gotta stripe down his back all nine yards down her back
Give me a couple, Don't give me a couple of pointers, Turn to lies and conversation fear
What is my mind? What is my mind?
Steady repetition is a compulsion mutually reenforced. Now what does that mean? Is there a just contradiction? Nothing much. Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep. If I should die before I wake, oh come on, hesitate, hesitate.
Got to punch Right on target Twisting tongues Gotta stripe down his back all nine yards down her back
Give me a couple, Don't give me a couple of pointers, Turn to lies and conversation fear
intro is of course strings and notes, but if you play an A chord it sounds good. Then after the intro before the song kicks in I think it is a B or B5. From what I can tell the verse is E then B (orB5) and the last line of the verse is E and the chorus goes B//A// and there may be a G in there somewhere but maybe it's just the bass playing a G.

{once again, there's a melody line played on the E string with the chords, it just alternates between D Dsus2 and Dsus4; with the Bm chord, its easier to play a "cheater" chord (no barre) then pick out the notes. Or I guess you could play straight chords if you're a weenie}
