On the E-bow the Letter single (track 4)
This track struck me as a flashback of the older REM style of music.
Best played on an acoustic guitar , capo on 2nd fret , all chords listed below are with the capo. This is the version my band and I play , to match the CD perfectly , leave out the embellishments. We use them due to only a single guitar in the band.
Intro
SOL DO/SOL SOL DO/SOL SOL DO/SOL SOL DO/SOL
VERSE 1
SOL DO SOL DO/SOL SOL
Let me ride on the wall of death one more time
SOL SOL/FA# MIm RE (Emb#1)
Let me ride on the wall of death one more time
DO (Emb#2)
You can waste your time on the other rides
RE (Emb#1)
but this is the nearest to being alive
SOL DO RE SOL DO/SOL LA
Let me take my chances on the Wall of Death
(REPEAT CHORDS FROM ABOVE VERSE)
You can go with the crazy people in the crooked house
You can fly away on the rocket or spin in the mouse
The tunnel of love might amuse you
And Noah's Ark might confuse you but
Let me take my chances on the Wall of Death
LAm MIm
On the Wall of Death
LAm MIm RE
All the World is far from me
LAm MIm
On the Wall of Death
LAm MIm DO RE
It's the nearest to being free
(REPEAT CHORDS FROM VERSE 1)
Well you're going nowhere when you ride on the carousel
And maybe you're strong, but what's the good of ringing a bell
The switchback will make you crazy
Beware of the bearded lady
Oh let me take my chances on the Wall of Death
PIANO SOLO - GUITAR PLAYS BRIDGE CHORDS
