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).

The Replacements
This was posted last week by Francois Rousseau. Merci Beaucoup!!
It's not as easy as it seems. Try harmonizing when on A with A-C#/A-AMaj7-C#/A ... then on D with D-F#/D-DMaj7-F#/D...
If you have long fingers then try running up the frets to get firs at the base A, then the C# (third finger, 4th fret) then then the Ab at the 6th fret with the pinky (good excercise). Same for D but on the next string.
If you can't, then play the chords as written up there.
It may have (must have) lyric errors, I'm french speaking news user, bye.
