R.E.M. - Driver 8

Artist: REM Song: Driver 8 Album: Fables of the Reconstruction Year Released: 1985 Tabbed by: Paul150 This is my favorite song from Fables of the Reconstruction (In my opinion, one of REM's weaker pre-major label records). It has a pretty cool riff that is also very simple to play. Here it is in all its grandeur: Intro/main Riff: e|--------------------------------------------------------------------|Repeat once for intro B|-----------------------------------0-----0--------------------------| G|--------------------------------------------------0-----0-----0-----| D|------------------------------2s5-----5-----5--5-----4-----2-----0--| A|----------------2--0----2--3----------------------------------------| E|--0----0--2--3------------------------------------------------------| Verse: Em Am G Gmaj7 On repeat, play a D for Gmaj7.
