SITTING STILL
{note: In this song and many other REM songs, there is an A9 chord.
 This chord can be interchanged with Asus2.  Here is my favorite A9
 position:

  (E) -0-    its just like playing an A chord using a 5th fret
  (B) -0-    barre E chord.  If you move it to the seventh fret,
  (G) -6-    it becomes a B11.  On the 8th fret, its a Cmaj7. On
  (D) -7-    the 10th, its a D9add6.  On the 3rd fret, its a very
  (A) -7-    pretty G6 chord.  On the second, its a neat sounding F#
  (E) -5-    sort-of chord. On the first fret, Its a Mexican sounding
             F chord.  I first came across this position while learning
             RUSH songs in high school.  On, BTW when I say "On the 8th"
             I mean the note on the low(est) E-string is on the "8th".
             For this song, its on the 5th of course.  Have I been explicit
             enough with my positions. We guitarists know lots of them-hehheh?

OH G-- ANOTHER CHORD LESSON (if Buck wasn't so good, I wouldn't have to do this)

A  BaddE/F# is an easy chord.  It looks like this.  Don't play the A-string.
Obviously, you pick this chord -don't strum, It'll sound shitty.

BaddE/F#           BaddE (normal)
(E) -0-             -0-
(B) -0-             -0-           To switch between these chords, move
(G) -4-             -4-           only ONE finger.
(D) -4-             -4-
(A) -x-             -2-
(E) -2-             -x-
