Answering Machine tab by The Replacements

This song is played on the album w/ two separate
guitars but I've tried to combine them to approximate
the sound here.  Note: On the Asus2 in the chorus
throw in the notes on the 4th and 2nd fret of the
high E string to approximate the lead guitar riff.

Intro:

(Picked) Bsus4 Asus2

Verse:

Asus2                         F#sus4

Try to breath some life into a letter

Asus2                       Esus2     Bsus2  Bsus4

Losin' hope, We'll never be together

   Asus2                                  F#sus4

My courage is at its peak, you know what I mean

How do you say you're ok to an answering machine?

Bsus4

C#min  C#sus2       Asus2       Esus2       Bsus2

How do you say good night to an answering machine?

Bsus4

Intro Riff...

Big time's got its losers
Small town's got its vices
A handful of friends
One needs a match, one needs some ice
Call-waiting phone in another time zone

How do you say I miss you to
An answering machine?
How do say good night to
An answering machine?

Bridge/Outro:

Bsus2  Asus2  Esus2  Bsus2  Asus2  Esus4

"If you'd like to make a call..."

I get enough of that

Try to free a slave of ignorance
Try and teach a whore about romance

How do you say I miss you to
An answering machine?
How do you say good night to
An answering machine?
How do you say I'm lonely to
An answering machine?
The message is very plain
Oh, I hate your answering machine
I hate your answering machine
I hate your answering machine...
