HARBORCOAT (Version 1)
{This song is actually played in Eb on the record. This transcription in
E won't go along much with the album unless you tune down.}
{intro EG#mA / Asus2}

They crowded up to Lenin with their noses worn off
C#mEABA handshake is worthy if it's all that you've got

Metal shoes on wood push through our back

There's a splinter in your eye and it reads "REACT"

They shifted the statues for harboring ghosts
Reddened their necks, collared their clothes
Then we danced the dance till the menace got out
She gathered the corners and called it her gown

Please find my harborcoat, can't go outside without it

A handshake is worthy if it's all that you've got
Metal shoes on wood push through our back
There's a splinter in your eye and it reads "REACT", R-E-A-C-T

They shifted the statues for harboring ghosts
Reddened their necks, collared their clothes

SO. CENTRAL RAIN ("In The Attic" Version)
Well, I've bought the "new" (actually, it's a EMI compilation)
R.
.M. album, and I heard that "Time After Time/Red Rain/So. Central Rain"
live medley that contains a really nice version of "So. Central Rain".
It's just Michael singing and Peter playing.
To play this version, just replace the
-3-----------
(actually, Peter doesn't play this way, but I think
this way is OK, too!)
Play the other chords in harmonics.

SO CENTRAL RAIN
Transcripted by Stefan Jagd Nielsen
I have this version from a 1985 concert where Peter is picking thourgh the song. I´t may
work on the IRS version from Utrecht 1987 but I´m not sure. This is how I´m hearing it.
Intro :
. ("Pretty persuay".)
Lyrics:
It's what I want, hurry and buy,
all has been tried, follow reason and buy,
Cannot shuffle in this heat, it's all wrong
Try to put that on your sleeve it's all wrong it's all wrong
He's got a pretty persuasion
She's got pretty persuasion
God damn, pure confusion
She's got pretty persuasion
It's what I want, hurry and buy,
all has been tried, follow reasoning,
And I put that in this heat it's all wrong
Try to wear that on my sleeve it's all wrong all wrong
He's got a pretty persuasion
She's got pretty persuasion
God damn, pure confusion
He's got pretty persuasion
In the line of heart,
All is peeling away,
It's what I want, hurry and buy,
all has been tried, follow reason and buy,
Try to put that in this heat it's all wrong
Cannot wear that on your sleeve it's all wrong it's all wrong

When I'm moving too fast Where's my new address?
Lyrics:
It's been pretty simple so far, vacation in Athens is calling me
And knock, knock, knock on wood, I thought I'd left you behind
Heaven is yours, heaven is yours, heaven's yours where I live
The thought of the catacombs left my soul at home
This letter never sent
And it's so far, it's so dark, i'm so lost
Heaven's yours, heaven's yours, heaven's yours where I live
(Another story, another story for a while, someone show me)
When I'm moving too fast, where's my new address?
The water is evening now, the catacombs are filling in
If my soul was made of stone, no, not, not so dark, dark
And it's so far, it's so dark, i'm so lost
And it's so far, it's so far, it's so far
Heaven's yours, heaven's yours, heaven's yours where I live
(Another story, another story for a while, someone show me)
Heaven's yours, heaven's yours, heaven's yours where I live
(Another story, another story for a while, someone show me)
CAMERA
So, let's call this "riff a".
(5) !----------------!----------------!----------------!1-----1---0---0-!
That's the first eight measures of the song. In fact, that's the bass line for
all the verses. If you have a bass and a guitar both, the bass should play
this throughout (except for the chorus) and the guitar should not come in until
the third line of the first verse ("when the party lulls..."). If you have
just a guitar, then you should play this for the first two lines of the first
verse.
We'll call this "riff b".
e(1) !5-------------5-!----------------!------3---------!0-----0-----0---!
(4) !0-------0-------!3-----------3-0-!2-------------2-!----------------!
There is, of course, ad lib. on the actual recording, but this is the basic
pattern.
And this is "riff c".
(slide)
e(1) !------------5/10!8-------------10!7-------------!----------------!
chord, hammer-on to the third fret on the second string
(Cadd2)
in a similar pattern.
verse 1
/From the inside room when the front room greeting
riff a
\Becomes your special book, it was simple then
riff b When the party lulls, if we fall by the side
riff b Will you be remembered? Will she be remembered?
If I'm to be your camera, then who will be your face?
verse 2
riff b I fell by your bed once; I didn't want to tell you
riff b I should keep myself inbetween th pages
riff b Of the green light room if we fall by the side
riff b Will you be remembered? Will she be remembered?
(Asus4/A)
chorus
play riff c twice, then:
verse 3
riff c From the inside room when the front room greeting
riff b Becomes your special book, it was simple then
riff b When the party lulls, if we fall by the side
riff b I still like you; can you rememeber?

(DON'T GO BACK TO) ROCKVILLE (Version 1)
{intro :
------2------------2
{same as above}
At night I drink myself to sleep and pretend
I don't care if you're not here with me
'Cause it's so much easier to handle
All my problems if I'm too far out to sea
But something better happen soon
Or it's gonna be too late to bring you back
That's not how it ought to be
{same as before}
I know it might sound strange, but I believe
You'll be coming back before too long
Riff that comes in during the later verses of "Rockville":

Corrections/additions always welcome.
This is my first post. I transcribe for myself quite frequently (solo or
duo acoustic arrangements), but don't usually put it down on paper (or
computer). I decided that it was time to share! Here's a tune that was
re-done by 10,000 Maniacs - further evidence of it's _timelessness_, in my
opinion.
* = fretted note play all strings marked "o", mute (or don't
@ = add for 4th play) strings marked "x"
% = add for 2nd

No, they don't talk to no-one they don't know
VERSE 2:
You'll wind up in some fac-tor-y that's
Full time there'll be no-where left
To go
Walk home to an emp-ty house
Sit around al-l by
Your-self

VERSE 3:

Performance Notes:
I play this with many open strings except in the REFRAIN, which is
really straight bar chords. The
string/note
(2nd).
This song is NOT that complicated. To start out, play the song
without all the 4th's, 2nd's, etc., and get a feel for it (stress the 2nd
and 4th beats). Then, play around with it until _YOU_ like the way that it
sounds.

Lyrics:
I can't see myself at thirty, I don't buy a lacquered thirty
Caught like flies, preserved for tomorrow's jewelery, again
Lighted in the amber yard, a green shellback, green shellback
Preserved for tomorrow's eyes, in tree beer tar-black brer sap,
The biggest wagon is the empty wagon is the noisiest,
The consul a horse, Jefferson I think we're lost
Who will tend the farm museums? Who will dust today's belongings?
Who will sweep the floors, 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?
The biggest wagon is the empty wagon is the noisiest,
The consul a horse, oh man I think we're lost
The biggest wagon is the empty wagon is the noisiest,
matter of course, Jefferson, Jeffer
Lighted in the amber yard, a green shellback, green shellback
Sky-lied, sty-tied, Nero pie-tied, in tree tar-black brer sap,
Reason has harnessed the tame, a lodging, not stockader's game
Another Greenville, another Magic Mart, Jeffer, grab your fiddle,
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 I think we're lost

I mainly wanted to improve the main riff here. the chorus kinda stumps me..
i think the one gtr is playing just power chords on the bottom two strings,
and another is doing some mid-range stuff. who knows...
