R.E.M. fue una influyente banda estadounidense surgida en 1980 en el Estado de Georgia (EE.UU.), pionera del denominado rock alternativo e inspiración de bandas de desarrollo posterior.
En la década de los 70, plena era punk, un estudiante de arte llamado Michael Stipe conoce a un coleccionista de LP´s de los años 60 llamado Peter Buck. Ambos se unen a dos músicos experimentados, Mike Mills y Bill Berry, y comienzan a tocar en pubs locales en la ciudad de Athens.
¡Cuatro años de duro trabajo!Este mes de mayo cumplimos cuatro años al aire. Seguimos trabajando en la difusión de este maravilloso instrumento, ¡gracias por participar en nuestra historia!

DAGA I can't say that I love Jesus DAG that would be a hollow claim. DAGA He did make some observations DAG and I'm quoting them today. DAGA "Judge not lest ye be judged." DAG what a beautiful refrain. DAGA The studio audience disagrees. DAG Have his lambs all gone astray?

DAGA "You are lost and disillusioned!" DAG what an awful thing to say. DAGA I know this show doesn't matter. DAG It means nothing to me. DAGA I thought I might help them understand DAG but what an ugly thing to see. DAGA "I am not an animal" DAG subtitled under the screen.

DAGA When I tried to tell my story DAG They cut me off to take a break. DAGA I sat silent 5 commercials DAG I had nothing left to say DAGA The talk show host was index-carded DAG All organized and blank DAGA The other guests were scared and hardened DAG What a sad parade.

Bridge 1 till the end....

Anyway, I have tabbed the little lead in from the verses to the chorus for New Test Leper, and also the chords to strum over the tab. Here goes.
------------------------------------------5----------0-------------0---------| -------2----------3----------5---------7-----------2---2---------2---2-------| ----2----------2----------4----------------------2-------2-----0-------0-----| ------------------------------------0----------2-----------------------------| -0----------2----------4-------------------------------------2---------------| -----------------------------------------------------------------------------| chords to strum over the tab are....

Enclosed is my slightly different attempt at working out the basic chord structure of this song - (taken from the acoustic version).
(I've done it as 'corrections' to the version you already had)
>NEW TEST LEPER > >the verse goes like this: >A*:540005 > >DAG -A* DAG (4x, me thinks)
(This bit is more or less right - though on the slide up to the fifth fret I'm not sure if the bass notes are being played)
>the chorus (im pretty sure about this) goes like this: > >GABCDC(3x) GABCD (that may be wrong - it's >from memory) > >Bridge: >BmAD(4x, me thinks) >and end on Em(7?)
I would guess the chorus is:
A, Bm, C#m, D A, G ('Call me a leper') (on last time - just A)
