Man Sized Wreath by Rem Man-Sized Wreath by REM (off Accelerate 2008) Transcribed by: Jeff Martin Tuning: Standard I think the opening riff can be done 3 ways (it's a G chord), what ever suits you. Here the three options: Option 1: (the Thumb frets the low E string and the index finger frets both the high E the B strings.) |-3-3-3h5p3------| |-3-3------3h5p3-| |----------------| |----------------| |----------------| |-3-3------------|X2 T T Option 2: |------------------------| |------------------------| |-12-12-12h14p12---------| |-12-12---------12h14p12-| |-10-10------------------| |------------------------| Option 3: (as previously described) (you could fret the low E at the 3rd fret with your if you like, but you don't have to) |-3-3-3h5p3------| |-3-3------3h5p3-| |-4-4------------| |-5-5------------| |----------------| |-3-3------------| T T The Verse(s) are played mostly in variations of a G chord where the ring finger hammers B string at the 3rd fret (the D note) while the E and A strings ring out. I seems to tab, but I will try. There are variations of this throughout the song... but this to be the theme. Verse 1 & 2: Pt. 1: |-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-| |-0-0-0h3-0-3-0-0-0-0-0h3-| |-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-| |-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0---| |-2-2-----------2-2-2-----| |-3-3-----------3-3-3-----| Pt 2: (Db7 chord) Note: listen to the song for the rhythm an the hammer on, on the B It's there for sure. |-4-4-4-4-4-4---4-4-| |-6-6-6-6-6-4h6-6-6-| |-4-4-4-4-4-4---4-4-| |-6-6-6-6-6-6---6-6-| |-4-4-4-4-4-4---4-4-| |-------------------|X2 Play Verse Pt. 1 & 2 again.
