R.E.M. - Driver 8: chords

 Em            Am         G        D/F#
The walls are built up, stone by stone,
 Em           Am          G   D/F#
The fields divided one by one.
          Em             Am
And the train conductor says
          G          D/F#      Em        Am
"Take a break driver 8, driver 8 take a break
           G                 D/F#
We've been on this shift too long".

Chorus:
D         C              D
And the train conductor says
         C           D         C          D
"Take a break Driver 8, Driver 8 take a break
        C             Em
We can reach our destination,
 Em/F#  Em/G  Em/F#  Em
We're still a ways away."
(But it's still a ways away)

I saw a treehouse on the outskirts of the farm.
The power lines have floaters so the airplanes won't get snagged.
Bells are ringing through the town again,
Children look up, all they hear is sky-blue, bells ringing

Chorus

 Am                    C
Way to seal the hated heat.
 G                     D
Way to put myself to sleep.
 Am                      C
Way to shield the hated heat.
 G                      D
Way to put myself, my children to sleep.

He piloted this song in a plane like that one.
She is selling faith on the Go Tell crusade.
Locomotive 8, Southern Crescent, hear the bells ring again.
Field to weed is lookin' thin

Chorus:
And the train conductor says
(Driver 8) "Take a break, Driver 8
(Driver 8) Driver 8, take a break
We've been on this shift too long."
And the train conductor says
"Take a break, Driver 8
Driver 8, take a break
We can reach our destination
We're still a ways away."
(But it's still a ways away)
But we're still a ways away
(But it's still a ways away)
