Rem — Man Sized Wreath Tab

Man—Sized Wreath by REM (off Accelerate 2008)
Transcribed by:  Jeff Martin
Tuning:  Standard

I think the opening riff can be done 3 ways (it's a G chord), what ever suits you.  Here
the three options:

Option 1: (the Thumb frets the low E string and the index finger frets both the high E
the B strings.) 

|—3—3—3h5p3——————|
|—3—3——————3h5p3—|

Option 2:

|—12—12—————————12h14p12—|
|—10—10——————————————————|

Option 3: (as previously described) (you could fret the low E at the 3rd fret with your
if you like, but you don't have to)

|—3—3——————3h5p3—|

The Verse(s) are played mostly in variations of a G chord where the ring finger hammers
B string at the 3rd fret (the D note) while the E and A strings ring out.  I seems
to tab, but I will try.  There are variations of this throughout the song... but this 
to be the theme.

Verse 1 & 2:
Pt. 1:

|—2—2———————————2—2—2—————|
|—3—3———————————3—3—3—————|

Pt 2: (Db7 chord) Note: listen to the song for the rhythm an the hammer on, on the B
 It's there for sure.
