Chords for Shiny Happy People Guitar Tutorial by REM

_ _ Shiny Happy People by REM.
So we're in standard tuning, and we start with a G major,
_ _ _ [N] and we've got this little lick.
So we're playing one on the B string, open,
_ two on the G, and then [Gm] open.
[G] So again, _ _ _ _ _ [Em] then we're gonna play an E minor, _
[E] same little lick, one, open, [G#m] _ two, open,
[E] _ _ B [Bm] minor, _ same [D] little lick, _ _ [C] _ _ _ [F#] then a C major chord.
So again, that's [G] G, [Am] lick, _
[Em] E minor,
_ [Am] lick, _ [Bm]
E minor, _ lick, [G] _ [C] C, _ _ _ _ and that is the intro. _
Then we have the little lick that is [C#] famous in the song. _ _
[C#m] _ _ [C#] _ _ _ _ _ _
[C#m] _ _ [E] _ _ [C#] So we're hammering and pulling off here,
so second fret, start on the second,
[F#] _ _ _
and we're gonna pull off, hammer back on,
and pull off again. _
_ [B] Then we're gonna hit the open B,
_ and again, [D] _ second [C#] fret on the B, _ [E] open E, _ [F#] _ [B] open B, _ _
[E] _ and then we're gonna play two on the E,
and then pull it [F#] off, so slowly, _ _ [B] open B,
and again, _ [C#] two, _ [E] _ open, [B] open, _ _ _ two. _
[C#] That's the first half of that riff.
_ _ _ [C#m] _ _
[C#] _ [E] _ _ The [F#] second half is, [B] _ _ [C#m] _ _ [Em] _ _ [D] so this is the same,
so two, open, two, [F#] open, _ open [B] B, and again, open B,
[C#] two, [E] _ open E, and then [B] open B. _
[F#] So, _ _ dog just wants to get involved, hang on.
What are you trying to say?
_ _ Nothing, she doesn't want to get involved anymore.
[C#] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ That's the first half, _ _ _ _
_ [Em] _ _ _ and that's [F] the second half of that lick.
[D#] So do it one more time slowly, [F#] _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] open [B] B,
and again, _
[C#] two, [E] open E, _ [B] open B, _
[F#] two.
[E] _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _
_ _ [B] _ _ [C#m] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [F] So that's that main [F#m] riff there.
So for the verse, we have _ F sharp minor down to E major.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C] Let [F#m] me play that twice, so _ _ _ _ _
_ [F#] A major [A] _ [D#] back [E] to E.
_ _ _ [C] So again, F sharp minor [F#m] _ _ [E] down [F#m] to E, _ [E] _ _
[F#] [A] A _ back [E] _ _
to E.
[G] Play it there, [E] there, doesn't really matter.
Then at the end of each [G] verse, we have, _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ [C#m] _ _ [N] so we're gonna play this G chord [G] here,
_ [N] _ which is 10, nine, seven, _ [G] eight, _ [D#] seven.
So it's the [C] same as the C chord, _
but [G] you're playing it up here on the 10th fret. _
[F#] _ _ [E] _ _ _ And we're gonna do this little [C] run down,
so we've got, and we're gonna play the bass note,
[G] or you can play it with a thumb,
or you could play it with a pick,
[F#] doesn't really matter how you do it.
We're gonna play it on the bass note here.
So these three fingers, or these three,
these [G] notes will stay [F] the same.
This bass note is the only one that's gonna change.
So we're gonna play G on the [G] bass, _ [G] _
F sharp on the bass,
and the way we do that, we just swap these two fingers. _ _ _ _ _ _
So we've got G sharp on the bass, F sharp on the bass, _
[F#] _ E on the bass, [C#] which is here,
[Em] _ _
[G] and then little finger's gonna come up here
_ [C] onto this D _ on the 10th fret.
So that's slowly.
I'll put my, this hand in [G] as well, so we got, _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
[E] and then we're gonna play an E. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Then we're back into these chords,
_ [Am] _ _ [Em] _ _
[F] _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ [G] _ _
[C] _ _ [N] _ and then after that, plays through twice,
we're just playing this all the [C#] way out. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C#m] _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ [A] And then at the end, if you want to,
you [C#] can do _ _ _ _ that.
