        Em                   Dm               G    (let ring)

        Oh no, I've said too much.     I said enough.

Losing My Religion

 

(Mandolin arranged for Guitar)

F         xx3211         Em        022000

Fsus2     xx3011         Em(II)    x79987

Am        x02210         C         x32010

Am(II)    xxx210         Dm        xx0231

 

The tab is for the mandolin part not the acousitic guitar part(but the chords are at the top of this page)  The chords above the tab refer to the acoustic guitar and not to the mandolin parts, the reason I put them is for a reference to when you play what.   Also I am too lazy to write all the parts eveytime they appear because there's a lot of repeating.  Okay now that the explanation is done,

 

the Intro is :

e--10--12--10-----I

B---------------10-I
