Talent Show -- The Replacements


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

---------------------------------|

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

In my waxed up hair and my painted shoes
A augmentedA
Got an offer that you might refuse

We're feelin' good from the pills we took

Look at us all, we're nervous wrecks
Hey, we go on next

An empty seat in the front row
