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!

{intro EmBmEmBmEmBmGA }
DGCD I sit at my table and wage war on myself DGCD It seems like it's all...it's all for nothing DGC I know the barricades, and DD I know the mortar in the wall breaks GCD I recognize the weapons, I used them well
EmBm EmBm This is my mistake. Let me make it good EmBmGA I raised the wall, and I will be the one to knock it down
I've a rich understanding of my finest defenses I proclaim that claims are left unstated, I demand a rematch I decree a stalemate I divine my deeper motives I recognize the weapons I've practiced them well. I fitted them myself
It's amazing what devices you can sympathize...empathize This is my mistake. Let me make it good I raised the walls, and I will be the one to knock it down
{I lose track of where the chords occur over the words. They just switch between Am and C until the last part of this section...}
AmCAmC Reach out for me and hold me tight. Hold that memory AmCAmAG Let my machine talk to me. Let my machine talk to me
This is my world And I am the world leader pretend This is my life And this is my time I have been given the freedom To do as I see fit It's high time I've razed the walls That I've constructed
It's amazing what devices you can sympathize...emapathize This is my mistake. Let me make it good I raised the walls, and I will be the one to knock it down
You fill in the mortar. You fill in the harmony You fill in the mortar. I raised the walls And I'm the only one I will be the one to knock it down
