"TAINTED OBLIGATIONS" (As performed by the Community Trolls)

Chords by: Chris Bray (cbray@comp.uark.edu)

(This song has Michael Stipe singing lead vocals, and can be found on a number

of R.E.M. bootlegs, including "Those Were the Days", "Life's Rich Pageant

and More". I'm also pretty sure that Matthew Sweet is singing backing vocals.)

(D) (G) (D)

I saw the shoals at night, with the moon above.

(A7sus4)

I felt an obligation, and heard your voice again.

(D) (G)

If you were here once, you were here a hundred times.

(D) (A7sus4)

If I reached out tonight, I found I couldn't fight it.

B A B

If you were here once, you were here a hundred times.

A

Ohhhhhh

D G D

Best as a wishing star, I saw you better far away,

A7sus4

and I felt obligation, and heard your voice again.

D G D

Hear the rush of water, passing over the shoals.

A7sus4

Hear my heartbeat rather, if I reached out tonight.

B A B

If I reach out tonight and find I can't fight it,

A

and look to the stars, and wander towards a

D G D

heartfelt obligation, a place that you called home

A7sus4

and heard your voice again, but it's too late.

D G

You left long ago, and now you're probably dead and gone,

D A7sus4 B A

and I'm left here with the water and the shoals and a tainted obligation.

B A

Ohhhhhh

D G D A7sus4

D G D A7sus4

B A

Tainted obligations

B A

Tainted obligations

B A

Ohhhhhh

B A

Ohhhhhh
