The One I Love R.E.M.
Song: The One I Love
Artist: R.E.M.
Album: Document
This song is really fun to play on a 6-string, even though it's really a 12-string song.
Gtr. 1: Rickenbacker 360/12, moderately distorted
Gtr. 2: acoustic
The acoustic guitar just plays chords so I'll just put that.
The tab:
Gtr. 1 intro, chorus (Riff 1):
e|--------------0--0-0------0--0-0-----| B|--------------5--3/5--0---5--3/5---0-| G|----------------------4------------4-| D|----------0--------------------------| Play 2x A|--------0----------------------------| E|-0--0-3------------------------------|
"Fire..............................."
Gtr. 2 intro, verse part 1, chorus
[Em] [D] [Em]
Gtr. 1 verse part 1 (Riff 2):
e|---0-----0-----0---0-----0-----0---0-----0----0---0---0---| B|-----3-----3---------3-----3---------3-----3----3---3-----| G|-4-----4-----4---4-----4-----4---4-----4-----4----------4-| D|----------------------------------------------------------| Play 2x A|----------------------------------------------------------| E|----------------------------------------------------------|
"This one goes out to the one I love....."
"This one goes out to the one I left behind......"
Gtr. 1 verse part 2 (Riff 3):

"A simple prop to occupy my time"
Gtr. 2 verse part 2:
[G] [D] [C] [Em]
Then repeat verse part 1 once.
Then the intro...
I'll explain the structure later.
Gtr. 1 solo:
e|----0-----0-0-----0---0-0--0---0---0-0-0-0-----------------------------| B|-0--3--0--5-3--0--3-0-5-3--5-0-3-0-5-3-5-3-0-------------------0-------| G|-4-----4-------4----4--------4---4---------4-2-0-------0---0-2-4-2-0---| D|-------------------------------------------------2-0-2---2-----------2-| A|-----------------------------------------------------------------------| E|-----------------------------------------------------------------------| e|------------------0-| B|------------------0-| G|-2-0--------------0-| D|-----2-0-2--------2-| A|-----------0------2-| E|-------------3--0-0-|
The solo is played over an Em-D-Em progression on Gtr. 2.
The structure:
Intro (Riff 1 2x)
