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

(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.

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

and I felt obligation, and heard your voice again.

Hear the rush of water, passing over the shoals.

Hear my heartbeat rather, if I reached out tonight.
