Chord/Tab song: 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]If there's a tem[D]porary lull
[D]Why'm I bored right outta my sku[C]ll
[C]Man, I'm dressin' sharp an' feel[D]in' dull


Lonely, I guess that's where I'm from
I was from Canada
Then I best be called lonesome


[G]And if it's just a [D]game
[F]Then I'll break down just in [E]case
[C]Hurry up, [G]we're runnin'[E] in our las[F]t 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]You be me for a [D]while and I'll be[G] 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
