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. Pre-chorus/Chorus: The chord progression is: Am-Dsus2 (sometimes D)-Bm-E-C-G-D The Tab: Am Dsus2 Bm E C G D |----0-------0-------2------------0-3-2-| |-----1-------3-------3------0----1-0-3-| |---2--2----2--2----4--4------1---0-0-2-| |--2----2--0----0--4----4---2--2--2-0-0-| |-0-------0-------2--------2----2-3-2-0-| |-------------------------0-------0-3-0-|X1 Verse 2: Same as Verse 1. Pre-Chorus/Chorus 2: Same as 1st (BUT PLAY 2X) Opening Riff X1 Verse 3: Same as Verses 1 and 2. Pre chorus/Chorus 3: Same as 1st (BUT PLAY 3X) Anyways, It's all there. REM make a purdy good record!
