Losing My Religion Tab

Losing My Religion Mandolin Tab by R.E.M.
Tabbed by Mike S
 
PREFACE: THIS IS FOR A MANODLIN/TENOR GUITAR TUNING, from low to high GDAE.
 
I spent hours watching live videos and tutorials to put this together.
This is very detailed and will take you through every step of the song.
I did my best to make this 110% accurate.
This looks complicated but it's the first mandolin song I learned
and really easy once you get a hold of the strumming.
The type of chords used require minimal finger movement.
 
 
Key:
First row is chords, second row is strum pattern, below those are the chord diagrams and tabs
D downstrum
U upstrum
lowercase (x) muted chuck
(/) slide up
 
Chords used:
  F   Am  G   Dm  Em/B or Em 3 finger, which is fuller and more accurate, but harder to use.

[Verse]
 
[Chorus] x2 (play the full Am staff and skip the G, starting over at F.
-Sounds confusing but it's the chorus repeated twice at the end of the song,
so listen if you get stuck)
 
[Bridge]
 
 
 
[Outro]
When performed live, the last 7 in each measure is replaced with a 5.
Easier to count & sounds better
 
e|-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-|
a|-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-|
d|-----------------|
g|-----------------|
 
 
Play that 7 times, then
 
Run:
e|-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-|
a|-7-5-3-0-5-3-0-3-0-|
d|-------------------|
g|-------------------|
 
One last note, if you want a fuller sound on the gap in the chorus, you may replace
the open e with the 7th fret on the A string - a|-5-7-5-0-|
