Little America (REM)
INTRO
D | D | C | G | D | D | C | G (Riff is G-D-G)
VERSE 1
D D C G
I can't see myself at thirty, I don't buy a lacquered thirty
D D C G
Caught like flies, preserved for tomorrow's jewelry, again
D D C G
Lighted in the amber yard, a green shellback, green shellback
D D C G
Preserved for tomorrow's eyes, in a tree beer tar-black br'er sap
CHORUS
G G Em Em
The biggest wagon is the empty wagon is the noisiest
G G Em A
The consul a horse, oh man, I think we're lost
INTRO
VERSE 2
Who will tend the farm museums, who will dust today's belongings
Who will sweep the floor, hedging near the givens
Rally round your leaders it's the mediator season
Diane is on the beach, do you realize the life she's led
CHORUS
The biggest wagon is the empty wagon is the noisiest
The consul a horse, Jefferson, I think we're lost
The biggest wagon is the empty wagon is the noisiest
The consul a horse, Jefferson...Jeffer....
VERSE 3
Lighted in the amber yard, a green shellback, green shellback
Skylight, sty-tied, Nero pie-tied, in a tree tar-black br'er sap
Reason has harnessed the tame, a lodging, not stockader's game
Another Greenville, another Magic Mart, Jeffer, grab your fiddle
CHORUS
The biggest wagon is the empty wagon is the noisiest
The consul a horse, Jefferson, I think we're lost
The biggest wagon is the empty wagon is the noisiest
The consul a horse, Washington, I think we're lost, lost
