Also, someone asked about the intro tab for Talk About The Passion :

I also play this song by making a D without any finger on the high
E string. Here's how it begins :
-----------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------3---------------0------------------------
--------------------------2---------2-----2---------2------------
0-0-0-2-4--0-0-0-2-4-0------0-----0---------2-----2--------------
2-2-2------2-2-2--------------3-1-------------3-2----------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Then this is repeated for the chorus
--------------------3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3------------------------------
0-0-0-0---0-0-0-0------------------------------------------------
2-2-2-2---2-2-2-2------------------------------------------------
2-2-2-2---2-2-2-2------------------------------------------------
2-2-0-2---2-2-0-2---3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3------------------------------
--------------------3-3-3-3-2-2-2-2------------------------------
and this part comes after the chorus
-----------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------0-0-0-0-0-------------------------------
-------------------------2-2-2-2-2-------------------------------
2-2-2-2--2-2-2-2--2-2-2--2-2-2-2-2-------------------------------
3-3-3-3--3-3-3-3--3-3-3--2-2-2-0-2-------------------------------
2-2-3-5--2-2-3-5--3-3-2------------------------------------------
The only thing that I have figured out is the intro/verse section to
"Talk About the Passion". For what it's worth, here it is :
1:
2: 1 0 1 0
3: 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 0 0 0 0
4: 0 0 0 2 4 0 0 0 2 4 0 2 0 0 0
5: 3 2
6:
Make sure you try this, because I have a hard time remembering what I
play without a guitar in my hands. The second part (after the double
notes) may be off a little bit. They are based on the C and G
chords, though.

=============
Note : In this song and many other REM songs, there is an A9 chord.
This chord can be interchanged with Asus2. Here is my favorite A9
position :
(E) -0- Its just like playing an A chord using a 5th fret
(B) -0- barre E chord. If you move it to the seventh fret,
(G) -6- it becomes a B11. On the 8th fret, its a Cmaj7. On
(D) -7- the 10th, its a D9add6. On the 3rd fret, its a very
(A) -7- pretty G6 chord. On the second, its a neat sounding F#
(E) -5- sort-of chord. On the first fret, Its a Mexican sounding
F chord.
A BaddE/F# is an easy chord. Don't play the A-string.
Obviously, you pick this chord - don't strum, It'll sound shitty.
BaddE/F# BaddE (normal)
(E) -0- -0-
(B) -0- -0- To switch between these chords, move
(G) -2- -2- only ONE finger.
(D) -4- -4-
(A) -x- -2-
(E) -2- -x-
{The G#m chord is actually played in an "open" style}

Shaking Through
===============
{Intro:}
(E) ---5---3---2---0---
(B) ---7---5---3---2---
(G) ---7---5---2---0---
(D) --steady 1/8 notes all the way
{once again, there's a melody line played on the E string with
the chords, it just alternates between D Dsus2 and Dsus4;
with the Bm chord, its easier to play a "cheater" chord (no barre)
then pick out the notes. Or I guess you could play straight chords if
you're a weenie}

chord down to a B before playing Am - just like Mikey Mills}
