This is a posting from the net...

Losing My Religion, by REM, from the album Out of Time

My first posting.  I'm sorry that I don't remember exactly how all the parts
go together, but here they all are, and by listening to the album, you can
figure out how many times and in what order to play them.
This part is actually played on mandolin, so you spend all your time on the
highest frets of your guitar.


intro:                                v

repeat the above bars until:

but now I've said too much...
-----13---------------15----------------------------------------------------
-----15---------------15----------------------------------------------------
-----14---------------16----------------------------------------------------
-----12---------------17----------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

then return to beginning

that neat little segue:
-----12--12--12--10--10--10--10--10--8--8--8--5--5--5--5--5-----------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Legend:

    v  look here, it's not as repetitive as it looks
    x  play a bit louder (accent)

Have fun figuring out how it all goes together.  I think that's all you need.
Gee, this wasn't so hard after all.  Thanks, James, for keeping this up!
