                SONG TITLE: Daysleeper
              ARTIST/GROUP: R.E.M.
                     ALBUM: Up
            TRANSCRIBED BY: qualitytabs@qualitytabs.tk

CHORDS:
-------
    EADGBE         EADGBE
Eb (x65343)    C  (x32010)
Dm (xx0231)    Am (x02210)
F  (133211)    Em (022000)
G  (320033)


I saw them perform this song on Jay Leno and I'm transcribing from
that show, but it is exactly the same I think. The only chord I'm
not sure about is the Eb. I mean I'm sure it is a Eb, but you can
play it in other posititons as well. This one sounds the best to
me though. It's like a barred C chord. I'm pretty sure I've got the
verse riff nailed down. I watched him play it and it is NOT played
down on the first three frets. (I've gotten a few comments about
that, but if you watch the show you'll see that I'm right)
 I've taped over the show, so I can't be a 100 % sure that this
is totally correct. Sorry about that.

       C1 (x-x-10-9-8-0)

VERSE 1: [play TAB 1]
--------
Receiving department, three A.M.
Staff cuts have socked up the ov'rage
Directives are pasted, no callbacks, complaints
Everywhere is calm


PRE-CHORUS 1:
-------------
Eb
Hong Kong is present
Dm
Taipei awakes all
F                 G
talk of circadian rhythm


CHORUS:
-------
  C     Dm         Am         Em
I see today with a, newsprint fray

my night is colored, headache gray

VERSE 2: [same as Verse 1, play TAB 1]

The bull and the bear
are marking their territories
They're leading the blind with their
international glory


PRE-CHORUS 2:
-------------
Eb                  Dm
I'm the screen, the blinding light
F                G
 I'm the screen, I work at night


CHORUS:
-------
  C     Dm         Am         Em
I see today with a, newsprint fray
C           Dm      G
my night is colored, headache gray
 C          Dm  Am  Em          C    Dm   G
Don't wake me          with so  much
  [here starts some weird shit]
Daysleeper


[OK, for the third verse there's no guitar I think.
There is a keyboard or something that plays these
two little lines. They're played in the beginning
of the verse. I think they're only played once
but I can't be sure since I can't listen to the song
right now.]

VERSE 3: [Play TAB 2 and then TAB 3]
--------
I cried the other night
I can't even say why
Fluorescent, flat, caffine lights
It's furious balancing


PRE-CHORUS 3:
-------------
Eb                  Dm
I'm the screen, the blinding light
F                G

my night is colored, headache gray
 C          Dm  Am  Em          C    Dm   G
Don't wake me          with so  much

    C        Dm      Am     Em
The ocean machine is set to nine
     C            Dm         G
I'll squeeze into heaven and  valentine
 C        Dm         Am       Em
My bed is pulling me, gravity
   C      Dm  G
Daysleeper

Day-

    C        Dm      Am     Em
The ocean machine is set to nine

I'll squeeze into heaven and  valentine
 C        Dm         Am       Em
My bed is pulling me, gravity
   C      Dm  G      C
