Sebadoh is an indie-rock band originally formed in 1986 in Westfield, Massachusetts, by Dinosaur Jr. bass player Lou Barlow and Eric Gaffney. The band began as a side project, but when Barlow was kicked out of Dinosaur Jr in 1989, Sebadoh became his full-time concern.
Along with such bands as Pavement and Guided By Voices, Sebadoh helped pioneer lo-fi, a style of indie-rock characterized by low-fidelity recording techniques, often on four-track machines.

Dreams by Sebadoh, from the album Bakesale tuning: all strings 1/2 step down (EbAbDbGbBbEb) chords and lyrics transcribed by John Spencer
(If anyone can hear more of what Lou is singing, please post or mail--my lyrics are almost guesswork. The song is basically 4 chords but I play them at different positions to follow the strings and voice. The partial C in the verse is my approximation to what's being played on bass and guitar, see if it works for you.)
(intro) E ------------------------------| ------------------------------| -----------------1------------| -----4-----4--2--2------------| (4 times) --3-----3--------2------------| -----------------0------------|
CE In my dreams CE I react as my true self CE And I learn from many (?) CE Twisted moral planes (?)
C It's really circumstance DB Each night I dance with prime illusions (?) C In pornographic scenes DB That always start as they are ending
(play intro riff twice)
(verse chords) In my dreams I walk with my true friends We discover secrets We run through our lies (?)
(chorus chords) Everything is twisted like abyss (?) To the past and distant future Unprepared for some big show (?) I try to arrive but I move too slow (?)
C(III)D(V) Something's wrong and someone died (?) B(VII) Then I open up my eyes C(VIII)D(V) Something's wrong and someone died E(VII) Then I open up my eyes
