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

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.
	 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
