       Talk About The Passion

       ======================





       Riff :    B(2)  -3-3-------3-3--------

                 G(3)  -2-2-------2-2---------   C   Asus4

                 D(4): -0-0-0-2-4-0-0-0-2-4-0---    

       

       Empty bread empty mouths combien reaction

       Empty bread empty mouths talk about the passion

       Not everyone can carry the weight of the world

       

                     3                   3

                   / / /    /    /   | / / /   /     /

                    A       G    A   |  A      G     A

       

       G          D   Bm  A       A   Asus2    A Asus2

       Talk about the passion

       

       Empty bread empty mouths combien reaction

       Empty bread empty mouths talk about the passion

       F  Em    F Em      F  Em

          Combien combien    combien de temps?

       

       

       Also, someone asked about the intro tab for Talk About The Passion :

       

           (D)*************************    (Cmaj7)****   (A)**********

       E-------------- ! ----------------! ---------! ------------------!

       B---------------! ----------------! ---3-----! ----232-----------!

       G--2--2--2-2--2-! -2--2--2-2-2-2--! --0-0----! ---2---2----------!

       D--0--0--0-2--4-! -0--0--0-2-4-0--! -2---2---! --2-----2---------!

       A---------------! ----------------! 3-----3--! -0-------0--------!

       E---------------! ----------------! ---------! ------------------!

       

       

       I also play this song by making a D without any finger on the high

       E string.  Here's how it begins :

       

       -----------------------------------------------------------------

       ------------------------3---------------0------------------------

       --------------------------2---------2-----2---------2------------

       0-0-0-2-4--0-0-0-2-4-0------0-----0---------2-----2--------------

       2-2-2------2-2-2--------------3-1-------------3-2----------------

       -----------------------------------------------------------------

       

       Then this is repeated for the chorus

       

       --------------------3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3------------------------------

       0-0-0-0---0-0-0-0------------------------------------------------

       2-2-2-2---2-2-2-2------------------------------------------------

       2-2-2-2---2-2-2-2------------------------------------------------

       2-2-0-2---2-2-0-2---3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3------------------------------

       --------------------3-3-3-3-2-2-2-2------------------------------

       

       and this part comes after the chorus

       

       -----------------------------------------------------------------

       -------------------------0-0-0-0-0-------------------------------

       -------------------------2-2-2-2-2-------------------------------

       2-2-2-2--2-2-2-2--2-2-2--2-2-2-2-2-------------------------------

       3-3-3-3--3-3-3-3--3-3-3--2-2-2-0-2-------------------------------

       2-2-3-5--2-2-3-5--3-3-2------------------------------------------

       



       The only thing that I have figured out is the intro/verse section to

       "Talk About the Passion".  For what it's worth, here it is :

       

       1:

       2:                  1 0        1 0

       3:  2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2     0     0       0     0

       4:  0 0 0 2 4 0 0 0 2 4 0   2       0   0        0

       5:               3       2

       6:

       

       Make sure you try this, because I have a hard time remembering what I

       play without a guitar in my hands.  The second part (after the double

       notes) may be off a little bit.  They are based on the C and G

       chords, though.

       

       

       

       

       Perfect Circle

       ==============

       

       

       {Some of the chords in this song tend to elude me}

       

       F  F/G        D        F   F/G    G

          Put your hair back you get to leave

       F  F/G        D             G

          Eleven gallows on your sleeve

       F   F/G       D    F F/G     G

          Shallow figure winner's pain

       F   F/G     D      F          G      F   Dm7

          Eleven shadows way out of place

        C            F              C           Dm

       Standing two sure shoulders high in the room

       

       The last time through this part is :

       

       C            F              C           F

       Standing two sure shoulders high in the room

       

       {Same as before}

       

       Pull your dress on and stay real close

       Who might leave you where I left off

       A perfect circle of acquaintances and friends

       Drink another coin a phrase

       Heaven assure shoulders high in the room

       

       Try to win and suit your needs

       Speak out sometimes and try to win

       Standing two ___ shoulders high in the room

       

       

       

       

       Sitting Still

       =============

       

       Note : In this song and many other REM songs, there is an A9 chord.

       This chord can be interchanged with Asus2.  Here is my favorite A9

       position :

       

        (E) -0-    Its just like playing an A chord using a 5th fret

        (B) -0-    barre E chord.  If you move it to the seventh fret,

        (G) -6-    it becomes a B11.  On the 8th fret, its a Cmaj7. On

        (D) -7-    the 10th, its a D9add6.  On the 3rd fret, its a very

        (A) -7-    pretty G6 chord.  On the second, its a neat sounding F#

        (E) -5-    sort-of chord. On the first fret, Its a Mexican sounding

                   F chord.

       

       A  BaddE/F# is an easy chord.  Don't play the A-string.

       Obviously, you pick this chord - don't strum, It'll sound shitty.

       

       BaddE/F#           BaddE (normal)

       (E) -0-             -0-

       (B) -0-             -0-           To switch between these chords, move

       (G) -2-             -2-           only ONE finger.

       (D) -4-             -4-

       (A) -x-             -2-

       (E) -2-             -x-

       

       

       {The G#m chord is actually played in an "open" style}

       

       {Intro :  A9  G#m F#m /   A9 G#m B /  }

       

         E                       BaddE/F#    BaddE

        It's name a god we all agree

         E                       BaddE/F#    BaddE

        Secret stop stop it well-read

         E                       BaddE/F#    BaddE

        We could find it in the sieve

         E                       BaddE/F#    BaddE

        We could gather throw a fit

       

         B                            A

        Up to par and Katie-bar the kitchen door but not me in

         B                            A

        See them try for the big kill wasting time sitting still

       

        {Same as before}

       

        I'm the sun and you can read

        I'm the sun and you're not dead

        We could find it in the sieve

        We could gather throw a fit

       

        {Same as intro}

       

        I can hear you

       

        You can gather when I talk talk until we're blue

        You could get away from me get away from me

       

        I can hear you

        Can you hear me?

       





       

       Shaking Through

       ===============





       {Intro:}



       (E) ---5---3---2---0---

       (B) ---7---5---3---2---

       (G) ---7---5---2---0---

       (D) --steady 1/8 notes all the way

       

       {once again, there's a melody line played on the E string with

        the chords, it just alternates between D Dsus2 and Dsus4;

        with the Bm chord, its easier to play a "cheater" chord (no barre)

        then pick out the notes. Or I guess you could play straight chords if

        you're a weenie}

       

       D                Bm               D                   Bm

       Could it be that one small voice doesn't count in the world

       Em                   A    Em              A

       Yellow like a geisha dawn deny it all the way

       

       Could this be three beaten

       Autumn marches on

       Yellow like a geisha dawn deny it all the way

       

       D A     G   (A)  D   A  G

       Shaking through all the day

       

       Or have we gone way too far

       Taking after rain

       Yellow like a geisha dawn deny it all the way

       Shaking through all the day

       Shaking through opportune

       Em     A         Em     A

       In my life

       

       Is that a steal

       Children of today on parade

       Yellow like a geisha dawn deny it all the way

       Shaking through all the day

       {At the end, the chorus gets played a key up for a while, so it's

        E     B    A ....    then end on a big 'ol B}
