Fretless

by R.e.m.
R.e.m.

Biography:

R.E.M. was an American rock band from Athens, Georgia, formed in 1980 by drummer Bill Berry, guitarist Peter Buck, bassist/backing vocalist Mike Mills, and lead vocalist Michael Stipe. One of the first alternative rock bands, R.E.M. was noted for Buck's ringing, arpeggiated guitar style, Stipe's distinctive vocal quality and obscure lyrics, Mills's melodic basslines and backing vocals, and Berry's tight, economical style of drumming.

R.E.M. released its first single—"Radio Free Europe"—in 1981 on the independent record label Hib-Tone.

N.B.
Please IGNORE ANY POP-UP CHORD BOXES the website
might automatically suggest and use the typed shapes
shown below:

Em = 022000 B = 799877 D = xx0232 E7 = 022130
Emadd9 = 022002 B7 = 797877 D7 = xx0212 G6 = xx5430
Em * = 022003 A = 577655 E = 022100 G = xx5433
A7 = 575655 E6 = 022120 F = xx3211
Fadd9 = xx3213

The Fadd9 is optional, you could just stay on the F major,
as it's only suggested by the bass playing a G over the F chord
at that point.

Please select a star rating for this tab, many thanks
