FRETLESS (Version 2)

From: David G Gels 

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-----------

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.
