Pop Song '89

by R.E.M.

{intro:    A  A  D D A A D D D   x  3}
{ The opening lick is straight off an A blues scale.  I don't have my 
  guitar here to transcribe it.  It doesn't sound good by itself anyway. 
  Whistling is a great substitue when you have to play alone. Ha! Ha!
  no not the skin flute!}
 
 A        D        A           D
 Hello I saw you I know you I knew you
    A           D             A      D
 I think I can remember your name...name
A   D   A  D
  
 A          D       A     D
 Hello I'm sorry I lost myself
    A        D               A        D
 I think I thought you were someone else
 
 E         G                D         BaddE
 Should we talk about the weather?     
 E         G                D         B
 Should we talk about the government?

{break:     B / / / B / / /  E / / / E7 / / / 
            B / / / B / / / E / / / D/Dsus4   
  the melody on the break isn't too hard to pick out. The notes
  are real close to the chords - often in them.  I think its weird
  that Pete didn't play them on the acoustic version.}
 
 Hello my friend are you visible today?
 And no one ever knew that it could be so strange...strange
 Hello I'm sorry I lost myself
 I think I thought you were someone else
