The guitarist will release his version of the 1993 hit for Record Store Day 2015.
"I've surprised myself that it sounded so like me and my band," Marr said of the track.
"When you cover a song you have to bring something of yourself to it. I was playing it on tour, just in my dressing room, and it sounded good, and then I started to sing it and we worked it up in a soundcheck and played it immediately in the encore that night."
He added: "The first night we played it, someone posted it on YouTube and it became really popular in the encore. Then the tour was over and I was invited to do something for Record Store Day and it was a really good fit.

"The song turned out surprisingly well. We managed to put our own twist on it, and I think make it modern."
The B-side to the release is a live version of The Smiths' 1984 track 'Please, Please, Please, Let Me Get What I Want'.
Dave Grohl is the official ambassador for Record Store Day 2015, which takes place on April 18.
