Parakeet chords by R.E.M.

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

Em    C
open the window
  Am       Bm  D
and lift into your dreams
Em   C
lately, baby
Am       D    H7
you can barely breathe.

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

Em    C
open your window
  Am     Bm  D
to lift into a dream
Em  C
baby, baby
Am       D    H7
you can starts to breathe


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

Em    C
open the window
  Am     Bm  D
to lift into a dream
Em  C
baby, baby
Am        Bm  D
you can starts to breathe.
Em    C
open your window
  Am     Bm  D
to lift into a dream
Em  C
baby, baby
Am       D    H7
you can starts to breathe

  G    Bm   E
you wake up in the morning
  G   Bm   E
to warm Pacific breeze
   G     Bm   E
where mean cars chew on licorice
  D   C     G#m
and cannot climb the trees.
