Burning Down

R.E.M

 ABm
From the back of my neck, oh oh oh
 ABm
Wired a glass jaw, oh oh
 ABm
Plantation burning your boat is coming in 
 ABm
Strum your jew's-harp, you're reeking gin

 EF#m
Running water in a sinking boat
 EF#E
Going under but they've got your goat

Burning down - my hands are tied my feet are bound
Burning down - can't you see that my hands are bound

Johnny Mike is reading in the yard
His story's timely, oh oh oh
What river is it anyway, radio
Not in a boat, in your ear

 BmC#m
You pick your island in the sun
 BmC#E
Take your island off he's got a gun

Burning down - my hands are tied my feet are bound
Burning down - can't you see that my hands are bound

He's cooking in the woods, a brush fire in your neck
Feeling mighty mighty, oh oh oh
 BmC#m
You can pick your island in the sun
 BmC#E
Take your island off he's got a gun






A Bm C# C#m E F# F#m
