REM: Green Grow the Rushes

--------------------------



Words and music by Berry, Buck, Mills & Stipe



Transcribed by John Carroll (sorry no words)



The song opens with this, the chorus (3 times):

E---0----------------0-----0-------

B-----2-3-SL-5-5-0-----3-----3---3-        SL - slide up

G------------------4-----4-----4---        sl - slide down

D----------------------------------         H - hammer on

A-0--------------------------------         h - hammer off

E----------------------------------



Then, after the third time through:

E---2-----2-----2-2-2-2-2-----------

B-----3-----3---3-3-3-3-3-0---------

G-4-----4-----4-4-4-4-4-4-0---------

D-----------------------------------

A-----------------------------------

E-----------------------------------



The chords are D Dsus D G Bm E with some picking thrown in (2 times):

E-2-2-3-2-2-3-3-3-----------2-----------0-0---------0------------------

B-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-----------3-----------0---0---------0----------------

G-2-2-2-2-2-0-0-0-----------4-----------1-----1-H-2-----0--------------

D-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0---------0-4-----------2------------------------------

A-----------2-2-2---0-H-2---2-2-2-2-2-2-2------------------------------

E-----------3-3-3-3---------------------0------------------------------



Then, in a 7ChineseBros kind of way, hit the D string in a steady

rhythym and add the G-string notes appropriately (listen to the disk):

E----------------------------------------------------------------------

B----------------------------------------------------------------------

G-14-14-14-12-11-11-11-12-12-12-11-9-9-9-11-11-11-9-7-7-7-H-9-h-7-4-7-7

D--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0-0-0-0--0--0--0-0-0-0-0---------0-0-0

A----------------------------------------------------------------------

E----------------------------------------------------------------------

Go through this twice, then back to the chords, and then the chorus

again.  All the verses have this structure until the last one.



In the last verse, after the chords, it goes like:

E----------------------------------------------------------------------

B----------------------------------------------------------------------

G-14-14-14-12-11-11-11-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-14-14-14-12-11-11-11----

Whew!  This probably isn't exactly right, but should give you a good

start on figuring out where I screwed up!



Enjoy,
