2 versions
REM's circus envy (another version) from Monster
originally tabbed by therapy@student.adelaide.edu.au
bass tabbed by unknown@bellatlantic.net
corrections would be appreciated
note- each '-' represents a half beat
-a tab with represents a 16th dotted 8th rythmn
g|---3- |
d|0-- - |
a|--3 - |
- this is written in 2/4
verse (come in with the lyrics each time)
(i play the verse riffs with quarter notes, that's what
is tabbed, but it could also be played with eighths to
match what the lead guitar is playing)
