Begin the Begin by R.E.M.?

This is all I've found online:

I swear he's doing something like this in the opening:

E:0-2-2--2-0-2-2--2-2-2-0-2-2

Or something vague like that (timing and phrasing is weird). Which would mean this tab is completely off.

I wanted to go on a grand rampage and learn all of Life's Rich Pagent, but I'm stuck on the first song. Help!

Thanks!

I alway played it with the E to F# for the F# section. The tab looks close.

I generally grab a chord chart for guitar and learn tunes with that as a reference...

Good luck on "These Days" it took me forever to get it back in the day.

I'm currently away from home for work for a month and I'm lacking my audio equipment! I have a half-decent (nowhere near decent enough) pair of inner-ear headphones and a small set of speakers. This is impossible!

Can anyone else comment on the F#? I SWEAR to god my ears are hearing a low E, but it might be because I don't play that many songs that make much use of major scales :P (and therefore my ear will naturally gravate towards a minor 7th, maybe)
