Talent Show -- The Replacements


This is the opening bit on the acoustic.  Pretty easy, just bar the
open A chord so that you can bounce up and down on the second fret for
the F# note and have your pinky ready to hit the G# note on the 4th
fret.

This is repeated throughout the song where I have the A chord.  The lead
line just does very minor variations on the 0-2-0-2-4-0-2 stuff
on the high E string.



In my waxed up hair and my painted shoes

Got an offer that you might refuse

Tonight, tonight, we're gonna take a stab

Come on along, we'll grab a cab


We ain't much to look at so

Close your eyes, here we go

We're playin' at the talent show

Playin' at the talent show

Come on along, here we go

Playin' at the talent show

Check us out, here we go

Playin' at the talent show


Well we got our guitars and we got some picks

An' we're goin' after some lip-sync chicks

We're feelin' good from the pills we took

Oh, baby, don't gimme that look


We ain't much to look at so

Close your eyes, here we go

We're playin' at the talent show

Playin' at the talent show

Come on along, here we go

Playin' at the talent show

Hop a ride, here we go

Playin' at the talent show


Well it's the biggest thing in my life I guess
Look at us all, we're nervous wrecks
Hey, we go on next


Playin' at the talent show

Playin' at the talent show

Wish us luck if you can't go

Playin' at the talent show

An empty seat in the front row

Might be winners now, you never know

It's too late to turn back, here we go
