9-9 chords by R.E.M.

9-9 (Last Updated: 8/23/96)

(There are three versions of this song in this file. First the lyrics.
I’ll try to ¨pretty¨ it up when I have the time. - Chris)

(in normal tuning)

intro is of course strings and notes, but if you play an A chord it
sounds good. Then after the intro before the song kicks in I think
it is a B or B5. From what I can tell the verse is E then B (orB5) and the
last line of the verse is E and the chorus goes B//A// and there may be a G
in there somewhere but maybe it’s just the bass playing a G.

I’m not certain about the intro so here’s my best shot:

E:-2-3-5-3s2-2 that’s the bassline....

e:---0-----0-----0-----0-----
B:-2---2-3---3-5---5-3---3-3-2  that’s my best guess at the jangles

Verse:
A two punch...
E     Esus4   E    Bm  7th fret harmonics-s-5th fret harmonics

Chorus:
Give ...
B    A    G         A    B      A      G
