Man Sized Wreath by Rem
Man Sized Wreath
Tuning: Standard
I think the opening riff can be done 3 ways (it's a G chord), what ever suits you. Here
the three options:
Option 1: (the Thumb frets the low E string and the index finger frets both the high E
the B strings.)
|-3-3-3h5p3------|
|-3-3------3h5p3-|
|----------------|
|----------------|

|-3-3------------|X2

Option 2:

|-12-12-12h14p12---------|
|-12-12---------12h14p12-|
|-10-10------------------|
|------------------------|
Option 3: (as previously described) (you could fret the low E at the 3rd fret with your
if you like, but you don't have to)
|-3-3-3h5p3------|
|-3-3------3h5p3-|
|-4-4------------|
|-5-5------------|

|-3-3------------|

The Verse(s) are played mostly in variations of a G chord where the ring finger hammers
B string at the 3rd fret (the D note) while the E and A strings ring out. I seems
to tab, but I will try. There are variations of this throughout the song... but this
to be the theme.

Pt 2: (Db7 chord) Note: listen to the song for the rhythm an the hammer on, on the B
It's there for sure.

Turning on the TV and what do I see?
F#
A pageantry of empty gestures all lined up for me – wow!
G
I’d have thought by now we would be ready to proceed
But a tearful hymn to tug the heart
F#
And a man-sized wreath – ow!
Am
Throw it on the fire
D
Throw it in the air
Bm E
Kick it out on the dance-floor like you just don’t care, oh
Am G D
Give me some
G
Wave the palms, still the arms, fists in the air
F#
A motorcade of a night-string(?) shows the people that you care – ow!
G
Nature abhors a vacuum but what’s between your ears?
Your judgement cluttered with fearful thoughts
F#
A headlights and a deer – ow!
Am
Throw it on the fire
D
Throw it in the air
Bm E
Kick it out on the dance-floor like you just don’t care, oh
Am G D
Give me some

Throw it on the fire

Throw it in the air
Bm E
Kick it out on the dance-floor like you just don’t care, oh

Look at what I’ve found

Everybody look around

Everybody looking like they just don’t care

Throw it in the air

Kick it out on the dance-floor like you just don’t care, oh
