This song, also done by REM, must be one of the toughest songs in the
world to sing.  I normally get through the first verse, and mumble my
way through the other ones.  At parties, most people don't notice.  If
all else fails.......and it will fail...........go back to the chorus,
it's the only part everyone knows anyone.  Enjoy,

TIM


THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT

G                                       C
That's great it starts with an earthquake
                                G
Birds and snakes and aeroplanes
                         C
Lenny Bruce is not afraid
G
Eye of a hurricane listen to yourself churn
C
World serves its own needs dummy serve your own needs
G
Speed it up a notch speed grunt nose street burn
    C
The ladder starts to clatter with dinner fight down height
Bb
Wire in a fire room represent the southern gangs
        A
In a government for hire and a combat site

Lefty wasn't coming in a hurry
With the furies breathing down your neck
Team by team reporters grapple trunk tethered crop
Look at that low plane fine then
Uh oh overflow population cornered
But it'll do save yourself serve yourself
World serves its own needs listen to your heartbeat
Tell me that the reds are in the reverend in the right right
You patriotic patriotic slam fight right might feeling pretty psyched

         G            D          Am
It's the end of the world as we know it
         G            D          Am
It's the end of the world as we know it
         G            D          Am                  C
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine

Six oclock TV hour don't get caught foreign tower
Slice and burn return listen to yourself churn lock him in uniform
And book-burning blood-letting every motive escalate
Automotive incinerate light a candle light a motive
Step down step down watching heel crush crush
Uh oh this means no fear cavalier renegade steer clear
A tournament a tournament a tournament of lies
Offer me solutions offer me alternatives and I decline

It's the end of the world as we know it
It's the end of the world as we know it
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine

The other night I drifted nice continental trip to find
Mount Saint Edelite Leonard Bernstein
Leonid Brezhnev Lenny Bruce and Lester Bangs
Birthday party cheesecake jellybeans boom
You symbiotic patriotic slam foot neck right right
