---------------------------------------------------------------------------- She Just Wants To Be - R.E.M ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: acoustic-fish Tuning: EADGBEe (standard) ok, this is my first tab, so i dont know how its going to turn out. the song is actually with two guitars, rhythm and lead. the rhythm guitar plays the verse and bridge, and lead plays the solos, and the chorus riff. i have 'simplified' it into one guitar part, but that means that i havent tabbed the chords for the chorus. the timing is off as well, to the song. intro e|--3--0-----------|--3--0--------0--|-3--0------------|--3--0--------0--| B|--------1--------|--------1--3--0--|-------1---------|--------1--3--0--| G|-----------------|--------------0--|-----------------|--------------0--| D|-----------------|--------------2--|-----------------|--------------2--| A|-----------------|--------------2--|-----------------|--------------2--| E|-----------------|--------------0--|-----------------|--------------0--| verse the verse is arpeggios with a few hammer-on's. the number of A minors changes in each listen to the song for the exact timing here are the complete lyrics for this verse: its not that she walked away. her world got smaller. all the usual places, the same destinations, only something's changed its not that she wasnt rewarded with pomegranite afternoons of mingus, chet baker and chess. its not stampeding fortune or prim affectations. she's off on her own and she knows now Am Am Am Am e|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------| B|------1------1-0-|-----1-------1-0-|-----1-------1-0-|-----1-------1-0-| G|----------0h2----|----------0h2----|----------0h2----|----------0h2----| D|---2---2h3-------|---2---2h3-------|---2---2h3-------|---2---2h3-------| A|-0---------------|-0---------------|-0---------------|-0---------------| E|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------| its not that... away her... smaller... all...

Riff this bit is about 90% correct, if there are any corrections, please leave a comment. the timing is off, so listen to the song to get it exactly right e|-----------------|-----------------|---------------0-|-3---------------| B|---1-------------|-----------------|---------1--3----|-----------------| G|--2--2-0----2----|--2-4-5-4-2-0-2--|--0-2-4----------|-----------------| D|--------------2--|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------| A|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------| E|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------| e|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------| B|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------| G|--2--0----2------|-2-4-5-4-2-0-2---|--0-2-4----5--4--|-2-2-0-----------| D|-------------2---|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------| A|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------| E|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------| bridge lyrics:
