Let Me In  by REM

See Chris Bray's version below for better lyrics...

Verse:
Em                                 Bm/F#
Yeah all these stars drip down like butter
Em            D4   D
In promises, a sea
Em                                     Bm/F#
We hold out our pans with our hands to catch them
Em                        C
We eat them up, (??) , up, up, up

Chorus:
D  G  C  Am
D  G  C
D  G  C  Am
D  G  Em

The rest is pretty much the same.

SONG: Let Me In
GROUP: R.E.M.
TUNING: Regular

I heard this song was written after the death of Kurt Cobain. The song has a
totally knew meaning if you look at it that way. Also I would like to take
this time to say that this is one of the coolest songs (sound-wise) on the
Monster album.

CHORDS:

Em      022000
D/F#    xx4232
Dsus4   xx0233
D       xx0232
C       x32010
G       320033
Am      x02210

The intro (and between verses) is just the Em chord.
The verse progression goes:

Em  D/F#  Em  Dsus4  D
Em  D/F#  Em  C

The chorus is:

D  G  C  Am
D  G  C
D  G  C  Am
D  G  Em

After the 2nd chorus there is a small interlude where he just plays the D/F#
chord for a little bit.

Questions, corrections, etc.....send 'em this-a-way.

LYRICS:

Yeah, all those stars drip down like butter
In promises, a sea
We hold out our pans, lift our hands to catch them
We eat them up, drink them up, up, up, up

Hey, let me in
Hey, let me in

I only wish that I could hear you whisper down
Mr. Fisherman, to a less peculiar ground
He gathered up his loved ones and he brought them all around
To say goodbye, nice try

Hey, let me in
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Hey, let me in
Let me in

I had a mind to try to stop you,  let me in, let me in.
I've got tar on my feet and I can't see
All the birds look down and laugh at me
Clumsy, crawling out of my skin

Hey, let me in
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Hey, let me in
Hey, let me in
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Hey, let me in
