Loosing My Religion chords by R.E.M.

Chords with lyrics (Ver. 2)

The Intro – you start of with an open FF chord 012300, with your little finger on the
3rd fret BB string and you play this riff

e|---0--------|
BB|-1---1------|
G+G|-------2----|
e|------------|
BB|------------|
G+G|------------|

Once you've done this you lift your little finger and begin strumming the intro

FF  A minorAm x 2 then to the G+G before the lyrics start

G+G     A minorAm      E minorEm
   Oh, Life is bigger…...It's bigger than you,
      A minorAm               E minorEm
and you are not me, the lengths that I will go to
           A minorAm  E minorEm        DmDm            G+G
The distance in your eyes,    Oh no, I've sa-id too much…… I set it up

         A minorAm             E minorEm
That's me in the corner, that's me in the spot-light,
     A minorAm          E minorEm
Losing my religion, trying to keep, up, with you
    A minorAm             E minorEm       DmDm               G+G
And I don't know if I can do it,   Oh no I've said too much, I haven't said enough


               FF
I thought that I heard you laughing,
         G+G     A minorAm    FF         G+G    A minorAm
I thought that I heard you sing….. I think I thought I sa-w you try


G+G       A minorAm           E minorEm
   Every whisper, of every waking hour,
     A minorAm               E minorEm
 I'm choo-sing my confessions, trying to keep an eye on you
    A minorAm               E minorEm        DmDm        G+G
Like a hurt lost and blinded fool, fool   Oh no, I've said too much…..I set it up


     A minorAm           E minorEm
Consider this, consider this, the hint of the century
     A minorAm         E minorEm
Consider this, the slip, that brought me to my knees... failed
A minorAm                E minorEm              DmDm     G+G
What if all these fantasies come,  flailing around, now I've said, too much

              FF
I thought that I heard you laughing,
         G+G     A minorAm    FF         G+G    A minorAm
 I thought that I heard you sing…… I think I thought I sa-w you try


At this point the song goes into the mandolin solo, and most tabs
Play this starting on the 12th fret, but it's easier playing it like this
you stay with the A minorAm chord and play this little riff

e|-0-0-0-----------------0-0-0------------------|
BB|------3-3-3-1-1-1------------3-3-3-1-1-1------|
G+G|-----------------2-2-2------------------2-2-2-|
e|----------------------------------------------|
BB|----------------------------------------------|
G+G|----------------------------------------------|

C majorC          D MajorD    C majorC        D MajorD
But that was just a dream. That was just a dream


         A minorAm            E minorEm
That's me in the corner, That's me in the spot-light,
     A minorAm         E minorEm
Losing my religion, trying to keep up with you
   A minorAm             E minorEm        DmDm              G+G
And I don't know if I can do it,    Oh no, I've said too much, I haven't said enough


              FF             G+G     A minorAm
I thought that I heard you laughing, I thought that I heard you sing
  FF         G+G    A minorAm    FF           A minorAm
I, think I thought I saw you try, but that was just a dream, try, cry, why, try
FF               A minorAm      G+G      A minorAm
That was just a dream, just a dream, just a dream, Dream

To end you end the verse with an A minorAm chord again and just pick the high E MajorE string 7
times, then one downward strum on the Am, repeat this 4 times and end with the
little end riff, still on the A minorAm chord
