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...

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

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.
I don't really feel like typing out the words, partly because I don't
know all of them, and I'm lazy as hell....hope this helps....

Input positive and negative very welcome
