I noticed that "Second Guessing" from Reckoning is still missing from the REM
archive. Here it is as I play it, and it sounds okay to me.



Most chords are played with the high E and the B string open. For example, 
the E chord is played:


                          E A D G B E

                          0 7 9 9 0 0



Likewise the F#m is played:

                  
                          E A D G B E

                          x 4 4 2 0 0




And the B would be played:


                          E A D G B E

                          7 9 9 8 0 0




The A chord is best played like this during the intro and the verses:


                           E A D G B E

                           x 0 2 2 0 0


And like this during the "oh-oh" part between verses.


                           E A D G B E

                           5 7 7 6 0 0


(I'm sure there's an easier way to convey this--like knowing the names of 
the chords--but I hope everyone can follow this)

It's close enough for me to sing with it, and it sounds right to me. Any
corrections are welcome.
