Tablature of Drive
Group: R.E.M.

    Dm
E---------1------1------1---1----------1------1------1---1------------
B------------3------3-----------3---------3------3-----------3--------
G-------2-----------------0----------2-----------------0--------------
D----0---------0------0-------3---0---------0------0-------3----------
A---------------------------------------------------------------------
E---------------------------------------------------------------------
