FRETLESS (Version 2)

From: David G Gels <gels@plains.nodak.edu>

Here's my tab for "Fretless", REM's song off the Until the End of the
World soundtrack....a beautiful, haunting song, and one that I was
surprised not to find already posted....here goes...

Fretless
--------

+|-----0----2----3----2----2|----0----2----3----3------|----0----------
+|----0-0----0----0----0----|---0-0----0----0----0-----|---0-0-----------

+|-2------2----2----2----2--|-2-----2----2----2----2---|-2-----(repeat)
+|--------------------------|--------------------------|--------------
+|-0------------------------|-0----------------------2~|-0------------

That's the basic tune, right there.

before the chorus, it just repeats -3-
--0-
----
---2-

----- which leads to
B (slide) A D D A E
They come and they come....

B (slide) A D

pre-verse: +---0---0---|----0--------------
+--1---1---1|---0-0-------------
+-----------|---------------------
+-----------|-2------(back to main riff)
+-2---0-----|-----------------
+---------2-|-0-------------------

well, that's it. I'm not too sure about the "don't talk to me" part...I
usually just use a D with a walking down bass line, and it sounds
alright, although it's wrong.
