REM - Me Marlon Brando Marlon Brando And I

words and music by r . E . m . from the 2011 album “collapse into now”

start with a single strum of Am , then into the strumming pattern :

[ Dm ] we live and dream about the [ Am ] future
[ Dm ] please ask neil i need to [ Am ] pow wow , now
[ Dm ] sift through the annals of our [ Am ] flavored times
[ Dm ] our heroes and all their fatal [ Am ] flaws

[ C ] me , marlon [ Am ] brando , marlon [ C ] brando and [ Am ] i sing

[ G ] lay me [ Am ] down down down down
[ G ] lay me [ Am ] down down down down
[ G ] help me off to [ Am ] sleep
[ G ] take me deep [ Am ] again

[ Dm ] we live and dream about our [ Am ] heroes
[ Dm ] i listened closely and i [ Am ] said
[ Dm ] i’m not sure where to place my [ Am ] self here , friend
[ Dm ] i might pawn the gold rings in [ Am ] stead

[ C ] the winners write the [ Am ] rule books , the [ C ] histories and [ Am ] lullla [ G ] bies

[ G ] lay me [ Am ] down down down down
[ G ] lay me [ Am ] down down down down
[ G ] help me off to [ Am ] sleep
[ G ] take me deep [ Am ] again

[ G ] i heard what you [ Am ] said
[ G ] picture brass rings in your [ Am ] head
[ G ] white gold and bronze are [ Am ] bon bons
[ G ] brass is mixed with [ Am ]

end on Am
