R.E.M. - Only In America/I Will Survive
(1996 Fan Club Single - Blue/Gold Sleeve)
I filled in the Lyrics which were missing in the live recording.  This is a
great song to learn on acoustic.  Look it up on Kazaa.

Intro: Am F G C F Dm E

(Strum each chord once)
Am                          F
At first I was afraid I was petrified,
G                             C
Left thinking I couldn't live without you by my side.
    F                                    Dm
But then I spent so many nights thinking how you did me wrong
           E
And I grew strong, and I learned how to get along
(Begin slowly strumming chords)
          Am              F
So you're back from outer space
       G                                    C
I just walked in to find you here with that sad look upon you face
  F
I should have changed that stupid lock
  Dm
I should have made you leave your key
   E
If I'd have known for just one second you'd be back to bother me
Am     F
Now go, walk out the door.
          G                             C
Just turn around now, 'cause you're not wellcome anymore.
       F                           Dm
'Cause you're the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye
              E
You think I'd crumble, you think I'd lay down and die!
Am         F
No not I.  I will survive.
   G                            C
As long as I know how to love I know I'll stay alive;
         F
I've got all my life to live, and
         Dm
I've got all my love to give
       E
I will survive.
(Strumming picks up speed and sounds louder)
          Am
Go on now go.
              F
Walk out that door
          G
Just turn around now
           C                 F
You're not wellcome anymore
                                 Dm
Weren't you the one who tried to break me with goodbye?
              E
You think I'd crumble, you think I'd lay down and die.
       Am           F
No not I, I will survive.
   G                            C
As long as I know how to love I know I'll stay alive.
F                                Dm
I've got all my life to live and I've got all my love to give.
       E               Am       F
I will surive.  I will survive.
          G    C  F  Dm              E
I will survive. . .    You think I'd crumble,

you think I'd break down and die.
          Am           F    G  C                F      Dm       E
Oh no not I, I will survive . . .     I will survive.

Am . . . (Strum each note slowly beginning with the A string in Am chord)

. . . End Am with fade . . .
