KID FEARS (Amy Ray)
-------------------

NOTES about the chords: 
* In the last chorus, where all the voices are tangled together, I tried 
 to notate it as best I could.  Amy's part is on the first line in capital 
 letters; Michael Stipe's part is below that, in capitals and in parentheses;
 Emily's part is at the bottom, in parentheses but no caps.  I went through 
 the trouble of doing this because the songbook is completely useless for 
 figuring out the end of this song...
* Where it says C, that might often be C(9).  Mix it up.
* C(9)=x32033 or x32030; D11=554030 or x54030; Em7=022030
 
[Key of G]

How much further if you can spin, how much further if you are smooth?

This is the only tab I have (and you probably already figured this out):

  Em                        Cmaj7        D11
E ------------|------------|------------|------------|
B 0-----3-----|------0-----|------------|------------|
G ------------|2-----------|0-----2-----|--0---0---0-|
D ------------|------------|------------|4---4---4---|
A ------------|------------|------------|------------|
E +---+---+---|+---+---+---|+---+---+---|+---+---+---|

The chord fingerings I use for those four measures are:
  022000 022030 | 022200 022000 | x32000 x32200 | x54030     |
If you use these fingerings, you should be able to hear that tab part
  in the chords.
