New Test Leper R.E.M Guitar Chords and Lyrics

New Test Leper R.E.M Guitar Chords and Lyrics

“New Test Leper” is notable for its acoustic arrangement and its contemplative lyrics. The title is a play on words, combining “new test” with “leper.” The song addresses themes of religion, identity, and the complexities of modern life.

D	A	 G	A	D	  A		G
I can't say that I love Jesus, that would be a hollow claim
D	A	 G	A     D	       A	     G
He did make some observations, & I'm quoting them today
D	A	 G	A	D	A	     G
"Judge not, lest ye be judged", what a beautiful refrain
    D	    A	    G	   A   D        A		  G
The studio audience disagrees, have his lambs all gone astray

A  B  C#  D

A          G           A   B   C#   D
Call me a leper, ah-ha-ha
A 	   G           A   B   C#   D
Call me a leper, ah-ha-ha
A          G           A   B   C#   D   A   G
Call me a leper, ah-ha-ha


"You are lost & disillusioned", what and awful thing to say
I know this show doesn't matter, it means nothing to me
I thought I might help them understand, but what an ugly thing to see
"I am not an animal", subtitled under the screen

Chorus

----   Bm    D     G    Bm     D    G    A

When I tried to tell my story, they cut me off to take a break
I sat silent, 5 commercials, I had nothing left to say
The talk-show host was index-carded, all organised and blank
The other guests were scared and hardened, what a sad parade

A     G           A  B  C#   D
   What a sad parade
