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
