Harbourcoat
by REM

Transcribed by Phil Saunders

Thanks to Scott A. Yanoff , who figured out the
chords.  My transcription was made easier by his work.  There are two
guitars going in parts of the tune; you can regard this transcription as a
distillation of the parts.  It may not be exact, but it should be close.
I'm pretty sure the chord shapes are right, but you can play with some of
the picking patterns a little.  Remember to tune down a half step to play
with the record.

 They crowded up together with their noses worn off
 A handshake is worthy it's all that you've got
 Metal shoes on wood it pushed her right back
 There's a splinter in your eye, it reads react

Interlude

 They shifted the statues for harboring ghosts
 Redden their necks color their clothes
(or "Red menace color their clothes"???)
 Then we danced with the rest but the menance got out
 She gathered the corners and called it her gown

Chorus
 Please find my harborcoat can't go outside without it
 Find my harborcoat can't go outside without it

 They crowded up together with their noses worn off
 A handshake is worthy it's all that you've got
 Metal shoes on wood pushed her right back
 There's a splinter in your eye it reads react R-E-A-C-T

{break  Em  with 12th fret harmonics  played fast and
 furiously}

Chorus

 They've shifted the statues for harboring ghosts
 Redden their necks color their clothes
 Then we danced with the rest but the menance got out
 She gathered the corners and called it her gown
 She said...
{end on F#m}
