Soul Asylum- RMiseryS
From "Let Your Dim Light Shine"

Transcribed by Bryan Pero (perob@willow.uml.edu)

I saw Soul Asylum last Sunday, June 4 at the Paradise in Boston. Was anyone
else at this show? I was right in front, about three feet away from Dave and
the band! They were excellent!! The new CD is excellent. Go buy it!!!

This is how I form the verse chords, please forgive the mistakes I've probably
made in naming them:

Verse Chords
C7 -032013-
C7/B -020013-
Am7 -002213-
F9 -003213-

Chorus/Pre-Chorus Chords (Guitar 2 plays barre chords)
C -032010-
G -320033-
F -003210-
Am -002210-

There's a brief intro with a few chords played on the acoustic guitar over
Ryth.fig 1. that I couldn't work out. If someone could help me, I'd greatly
appreciate it!! If it helps, when I saw them live, it looked like he was
sliding back and forth from the 5th to the 7th fret. I just couldn't get it...

This fill also appears when Dave Pirner sings "incorporated", it's right at the
"-rated" part.

Solo (I thing he picks out a D barre chord before the solo)
 (oh no! I forgot to listen for the chors played over the solo! I'll try to
post them later, but I'm sure they're blatantly obvious...)

That's about it!!
