Many thanks to the other Daysleeper Chord Tab (by someone who is unregistered - and all those that 
contributed to that). They provided the chords, i just then aplied it with a capo three frets 
up so that you can openly strum the verses should you wish. Sounds right to me.

Beautiful REM tune. Love playing it. Some of the best lyrics ever written. Enjoy.
