{notice that the majority of this song follows the pattern:
G / D / Em / Am D7sus2 It's really cool how the progression
starts out on Am but in the middle of the song, the verse starts
pretty much on G.}

HALF A WORLD AWAY (by REM)
Intro: | Am | G | D Dsus4 D Dsus2 | Em |
[Am]This could be the [G]saddest dusk I've [D]ever seen[Dsus4] [D] [Dsus2] [Em]
turn to a [Am]miracle, [G] high alive.[D] [Dsus4] [D] [Dsus2]
[Em]My mind is [Am]racing, [G] as it al[D]ways will.[Dsus4] [D] [Dsus2]
My [Em]hands tired, my [Am]heart aches.
I'm [G]half a world away[D] here, [Dsus4] [D] [Dsus2] my h[Em]ead sworn to [F]go it alone,
[F]and hold it along, [D]haul it along [Dsus4] and [D]hold [Dsus4]it.[D] [Dsus2]
[F]Go it alone, and hold it along. [D]Oh.....[Dsus4].........[D]..
[Dsus4]Oh [D] [Dsus2] lone[G]ly deep sit [D]hollow.[Dsus4] [D] [Dsus2]
[Em]Half a world, [Am]half a world away.[G]
My [D]shoes are gone, [Dsus4] [D] [Dsus2] my [Em]life spent.[Am]
I've [G]had too much to drink.[D] [Dsus4] [D] [Dsus2]
I d[Em]idn't think, I [Am]didn't think of you.[G]
I [D]guess that's all [Dsus4] [D]I [Dsus2] need-[Em]ed.
To [F]go it alone, and hold it along, [D]haul it along,[Dsus4] and[D] hold[Dsus4] it.[D] [Dsus2]
[F]Backwards, blackbirds, forwards and fall.
[Dsus4]Oh [D] [Dsus2] lone[G]ly world is [D]wasted.[Dsus4] [D] [Dsus2]
[Em]Pathetic eyes, [Am]high alive.[G]
[D]Blind to the tide [Dsus4] [D] [Dsus2] that [Em]turns the sea.[Am]
This [G]storm it came up strong.[D] [Dsus4] [D] [Dsus2]
It [Em]shook the trees and [Am]blew away our fear.[G]
I [D]couldn't ev[Dsus4]en [D] [Dsus2] hear.[Em]
To g[F]o it alone, and hold it along, [D]haul it along,[Dsus4] and[D] hold[Dsus4] it.[D] [Dsus2]
[F]Go it alone, and hold it along. [D]Oh.....[Dsus4].........[D]..
[F]Go it alone, and hold it along, [D]haul it along,[Dsus4] and[D] hold[Dsus4] it.[D] [Dsus2]
[F]Blackbirds, backwards, forwards and fall.
[D]Oh....[Dsus4].........[D]. [Dsus4] Oh,[D] [Dsus2]
[G]this could be the [D]saddest dusk[Dsus4] [D] [Dsus2]
I [Em]ever seen [Am] turn to a [G]miracle, [D] [Dsus4] hig[D]h [Dsus2]alive.[Em]
[Am]My mind is [G]racing, [D] [Dsus4] as [D]it [Dsus2] al--[Em]ways will.
My [Am]hands tired, my h[G]eart aches.
I'm h[D]alf a world [Dsus4] a [D]- wa[Dsus2]y.[Em]
