Rem - Sad Professor guitar chord
SAD PROFESSOR
From: JamieWire@postmaster.co.uk
Here's the correct version as played by Mike Mills on Rockpalast.
Tuning - some kind of open D.
E (bass string) A D A D D (treble string)
Performance notes: the double tuning of the 'b' and the 'e' to get two 'd'
notes gives a really ethnic kind of drone. Mike has strong hands - this
song is not easy to play unless you're a barre master!
Mix up and down strokes. Listen to the rhythm - these are the notes but
they're tabbed wrong!

Only 4 chords:
D (open) A(barre) G(barre) F(barre) )(E-shaped barres)
The transitions from A-G and G-A and A-F are usually slides.
In the chorus the song skips two beats (after 'i started a chapter' and
'everybody hates a drunk') so be careful.
If anything's wrong, correct it and curse me for being incompetent.

Dear readers, my apologies
I drifted in and out of sleep
Long silence presents the tragedies of love
Look the age, get afraid. The surface hazy with
attendant thoughts

A lazy eye metaphor on the rocks

Lyrics:
if we're talking about love
then I have to tell you
dear readers, I'm not sure where I'm headed.
I've gotten lost before.
I've woke up stone drunk
face down in the floor.
late afternoon the house is hot.
I started , I jumped up.
everyone hates a bore.
everyone hates a drunk.
this may be a lit invention
professors muddled in their intent
to try to rope in followers
to float their malcontent.
as for this reader,
I'm already spent.
late afternoon the house is hot.
I started , I jumped up.
everyone hates a sad professor.
I hate where I wound up.
dear readers, my apologies.
I'm drifting in and out of sleep.
long silence presents the tragedies
of love. note the age. get afraid.
the surface hazy with attendant thoughts.
a lazy eye metaphor on the rocks.
late afternoon the house is hot.
I started , I jumped up.
everyone hates a bore.
everyone hates a drunk.
everyone hates a sad professor.
I hate where I wound up.
I hate where I wound up.
