This tab is based on REMBassist's video on YouTube,
check it out for further reference if you want to get the rhythm,
and the feel of it down just right, it's a phenomenal cover.
I listened and watched his finger positioning and strumming hand very closely
to try to tab this song as accurately as possible
(I noticed in the comment section of his video that quite a few people
wanted tabs or a tutorial to this song, so I thought I'd take it upon myself to do it,
and hopefully this helps everyone out).
Also, if you notice any errors that need to be corrected,
please feel free to let me know in the comments, and I will amend the tab
(by the way this is my first time tabbing a song). Anyway, have fun,
it's an incredible early cut from R.E.M.
