Losing My Religion Mandolin Tab by R.E.M. Tabbed by Mike Shaheen I spent hours watching live videos and tutorials to put this together. This is very detailed and will take you through every step of the song. I did my best to make this 110% accurate. This looks complicated but it's the first mandolin song I learned and really easy once you get ahold of the strumming. The type of chords used require minimal finger movement. Key: First row is chords, second row is strum pattern, below those are the chord diagrams and tabs D downstrum U upstrum lowercase (x) muted chuck (/) slide up Chords used: F Am G Dm Em/B or Em 3 finger, which is fuller and more accurate, but harder to use. |-1-|-0-|-3-|-1-|-0-|-0-| |-0-|-0-|-2-|-0-|-2-|-2-| |-3-|-2-|-0-|-0-|-2-|-5-| |-5-|-5-|-0-|-2-|-0-|-4-| F Am D x UDU x U UDU D x UDU x U UDU e---0----|1---1-1-1---1--1-1-1|---0----|0---0-0-0---0--0-0-0|===0====| a=5===5=0|0===0=0=0===0==0=0=0|=5===5=0|0===0=0=0===0==0=0=0|=5===5=0| d--------|3---3-3-3---3--3-3-3|--------|2---2-2-2---2--2-2-2|--------| g========|5===5=5=5===5==5=5=5|========|5===5=5=5===5==5=5=5|--------| F Am G D x UDU x U UDU D D DU x D e-1---1-1-1---1--1-1-1|---0----|-0--0--0-0-|-3-| a=0===0=0=0===0==0=0=0|=5===5=0|=0==0==0=0=|=2=| d-3---3-3-3---3--3-3-3|--------|-2--2--2-2-|-0-| g=5===5=5=5===5==5=5=5|========|=5==5==5=5=|=0=| Bridge: e---------------| a=======0=======| d---0-2---5-2-0-| g=0=============| Verse: PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO THESE (you will make slight finger adjustments, but it's really easy).
