Parakeet chords by R.E.M.

Chords with lyrics

G+G    B minorBm   E MajorE
you wake up in the morning
  G+G    B minorBm   E MajorE
and fall out of your bed
G+G    B minorBm    E MajorE
mean cat eat parakeets
  D MajorD     C majorC   H
and this one's nearly dead.
  G+G   B minorBm    E MajorE
you dearly wish the wind shift
  G+G   B minorBm   E MajorE
and greasy windows slide
G+G  B minorBm   E MajorE
open for the parakeet
   D MajorD    C majorC   H
who's colored bitter lime.

E minorEm    C majorC
open the window
  A minorAm       B minorBm  D MajorD
and lift into your dreams
E minorEm   C majorC
lately, baby
A minorAm       D MajorD    H7
you can barely breathe.

 G+G   B minorBm    E MajorE
a broken wrist an accident
  G+G     B minorBm     E MajorE
you know that something's wrong
  G+G    B minorBm    E MajorE
you fold the leavings of your past
 D MajorD   C majorC      H
no one knows you've gone.
  G+G    B minorBm      E MajorE
the sunspot flares of the early
     G+G   B minorBm   E MajorE
nineties light up your wings.
  G+G    B minorBm    E MajorE
and scan the shortwave radio
   D MajorD    C majorC   H
it's tracking outer rings.

E minorEm    C majorC
open your window
  A minorAm     B minorBm  D MajorD
to lift into a dream
E minorEm  C majorC
baby, baby
A minorAm       D MajorD    H7
you can starts to breathe

  G+G  B minorBm    E MajorE
the tectonic dispatcher shifts
  G+G     B minorBm  E MajorE
to smooth the ocean floor
  G+G    B minorBm   E MajorE
and flattens out to warmer winds
  D MajorD     C majorC   H
of Brisbane's sunny shore.
   G+G    B minorBm   E MajorE
where buddhas tend to mending wrists
 G+G   B minorBm     E MajorE
a tea made from the leaves
  G+G   B minorBm  E MajorE
of eucalyptus fragrances
  D MajorD  C majorC  H
and coriander seeds.

E minorEm    C majorC
open the window
  A minorAm     B minorBm  D MajorD
to lift into a dream
E minorEm  C majorC
baby, baby
A minorAm        B minorBm  D MajorD
you can starts to breathe.
E minorEm    C majorC
open your window
  A minorAm     B minorBm  D MajorD
to lift into a dream
E minorEm  C majorC
baby, baby
A minorAm       D MajorD    H7
you can starts to breathe

  G+G    B minorBm   E MajorE
you wake up in the morning
  G+G   B minorBm   E MajorE
to warm Pacific breeze
   G+G     B minorBm   E MajorE
where mean cars chew on licorice
  D MajorD   C majorC     G# minorG#m
and cannot climb the trees.
