With apologies to Francois Rousseau9s transcription, the following are the
correct chords to 3Achin9 To Be2 by Paul Westerberg and the Replacements.
These are the chords when the song is played with the recording.
ACHIN' TO BE (Replacements)
intro:
Well she's kind of like an artist
Sittin' on the floor
Never finishes, she abandons
Never shows a soul
And she's kind of like a movie
Everyone rushes to see
And no one understands it
Sittin' in their seats
She opens her mouth to speak and
What comes out's a mystery
Thought about, an' I've understood
She's achin' to be
Well she dances alone in nightclubs
Every other day of the week
People look right through her
Baby doll check your cheek
And she's kind of like a poet
Who finds it hard to speak
Poems come so slowly
Like the colors down a sheet (chorus)
I've been achin' for a while now, friend
I've been achin' hard for years
(break use verse chords 1X)
Well she's kind of like an artist
Who uses paints no more
And never show what you're doing
Never show a soul
Yeah I saw one of your pictures
There was nothin' that I could see
If no one's on your canvas
Well, I'm achin' to be
She closes her mouth to speak and
Closes her eyes to see
Thought about an' only love and
She's achin' to be
Just like me
