Biography:
The Replacements are an alternative rock group that formed in Minneapolis, Minnesota in 1979. The band originally started off as a hardcore punk outfit but began to incorporate folk and power pop influences in their sound. They become one of the leaders of the early alt-folk set and one of the flagship bands of the American 80s post-punk scene, being as well a major influence on 90s indie rock.
The band's best known lineup consisted of Paul Westerberg (vocals, guitar), Bob Stinson (guitar), Tommy Stinson (bass) and Chris Mars (drums).

This is my favorite song by the Replacements, from their 1989 album "Don't Tell A Soul"
I'LL BE YOU
play around with the intro. There's lots of delay so it
sounds like a lot more is going on than really is.

This pattern but with the base note
going from G to open D to C.
G D
If there's a temporary lull
D C
Why'm I bored right outta my skull
C D
Man, I'm dressin' sharp an' feelin' dull
<1st Verse Chords>
Lonely, I guess that's where I'm from
I was from Canada
Then I best be called lonesome
G D
And if it's just a game
F E
Then I'll break down just in case
C G E F
Hurry up, we're runnin' in our last race
Well, I laughed half the way to Tokyo
I dreamt I was Surfer Joe
An' what that means I don't know
A dream too tired to come true
Left a rebel without a clue
And I'm searching for somethin' to do
And if it's just a game
Then we'll hold hands just the same
So what, we're bleeding but we ain't cut
And I could purge my soul perhaps
For the imminent collapse
Oh yeah, I'll tell you what we could do
C D G
You be me for a while and I'll be you
A dream too tired to come true
Left a rebel without a clue
Won't you tell me what I should do
And if it's just a lull
Why'm I bored right outta my skull
Oh yeah, keep me from feeling so dull
And if it's just a game
Then we'll break down just in case
Then again, I'll tell you what we could do
You be me for a while
You be me for a while
You be me for a while and I'll be you
I'LL BE YOU
