ROTARY ELEVEN (B-side to "Losing My Religion") (by REM)


This has sort of a "swing feel"--it's in 12/8. I'm going to transcribe it in
4/4 because I feel like it. If you have no idea what I mean, listen to the
tape.

Stupid Notational Things:
\_/ = tie h = hammer-on
X = tenth fret p = pull-off
E = eleventh fret s/ = slide up
T = twelfth fret
