I Took Your Name R.E.M.
This is transcribed as I hear it from the live version. Part of it is
questionable, but it sounds okay in my head.
[E] [A5] [C] [A]
e:---0-----x-----0-----0-----------| B:---0-----x-----1-----2-----------| G:---1-----x-----0-----2-----------| D:---2-----x-----2-----2-----------| A:---2-----0-----3-----0-----------| E:---0-----0-----0-----0-----------|
Intro: E | A5 | E
The A5 should be played only three times before reverting to E.

2ND VERSE
I sequenced your arrival
I sealed your fate
I pushed the button and erased your master tape
I wrote the sales pitch
I threw the brake switch
I dragged your big ass daddy roth car out of that ditch

3RD VERSE
I crossed your great divide

I called your bluff until I blew your circuits wide
I'll be your albatross
Your devil, dog, Jesus, God
I don't wanna be Iggy Pop but if that's what it takes, hey
