The Replacements - I'll Be You

      
 
 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
 
 <Refrain>
 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
 
 <refrain>
 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
