------------------------------------ Band: The Replacements Song: Here Comes A Regular Album: Tim Year: 1985 Key: F# Major ------------------------------------ Contact: jdenicholls[at]hotmail.co.uk Classic Replacements song, played on acoustic guitar. There are a few other instruments on the record, but to get the best feel for the song you may as well just play it with guitar and vocal. Either you can play the song using bar chords, or you can capo the 6th fret to get the nice sound of the open strings. I've noted the names of the chords so those of you without a capo can just use barre chords, but I recommend using a capo if you can. I'm pretty sure Paul Westerburg plays it with a capo on the record. As well as playing normal chords Westerburg also has a habit of lifting and dropping certain fingers to add variation. I've written down a suggestion of how to play it but I'd advise you to play through it a few times experimenting with odd chords. Listen through the record a few times and you will work it out. Credit to previous tabbers from UG, I got the chord progression from them. ------ Chords (with Capo on 6th fret) ------ F# (244322@1) C#add11 Badd9 (135211@7) A#mx32013 (x13321@1) 320013 xx3213 022003 Variations: F#maj7 (24332x@1)C#sus4 (x13341@4) C#9(no 5th) A#m7x32003 (x13121@1) 3x0013 xx3203 022033 F#sus2 (xx1341@4) C#sus2sus4 Bmaj7 (x24342@1) A#mx30013 (x13321@1) 320013 xx3210 022000 F# (244322@1)C#6add11 x32010 320010 ----------- Intro/Verse (Capo 6th Fret) ----------- Intro and verse are the same, play the same pattern of strumming over and over again until you make it to the bridge. 4/4 Time F# (244322@1) C#add11 Badd9e (135211@7)|3--333333--33333|3--33--33-3-3-3-| B |1--111111--11111|1--11--01-1-1-1-| G |0--000000--00000|2--22--22-2-2-2-| D |2--222220--00000|3--33--33-3-3-3-| A |3--333332--02022|x--xx--xx-x-x-x-| E |x--xxxxx3--33333|x--xx--xx-x-x-x-| 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + F# (244322@1) C#add11 Badd9e (135211@7)|3--33--33-3-3-33|3--33--3333-3-3-| B |1--11--11-1-1-11|1--11--0101-1-1-| G |0--00--00-0-0-00|2--22--2222-2-2-| D |2--22--20-0-0-00|3--33--3333-3-3-| A |3--33--32-0-2-22|x--xx--xxxx-x-x-| E |x--xx--x3-3-3-33|x--xx--xxxx-x-x-| 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + Repeat ad lib ------ Bridge (Capo 6th Fret) ------ 4/4 C#add11 Badd9e (135211@7)|3--33--33-3-333-|3--33--33-3-333-| B |1--11--11-1-111-|1--11--11-1-111-| G |0--00--00-0-000-|2--22--22-2-222-| D |0--00--00-0-000-|3--33--33-3-333-| A |2--22--22-2-222-|x--xx--xx-x-xxx-| E |3--33--33-3-333-|x--xx--xx-x-xxx-| 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + C#add11 e |3--33--33-3-333-|3-333-3-3-333---| B |1--11--11-1-111-|1-111-1-1-111---| G |0--00--00-0-000-|0-000-0-0-000---| D |0--00--00-0-000-|0-000-0-0-000---| A |2--22--22-2-222-|2-222-2-2-222-2-| E |3--33--33-3-333-|3-333-3-3-333-3-| 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + ------ Chorus (Capo 6th Fret) ------ 4/4 F# (244322@1) A#m (x13321@1) B (x2444x@1) x3 e |3--33--33-33-3-3|3--33--33-3-333-| B |1--11--11-11-1-1|1--11--11-1-111-| G |0--00--00-00-0-0|2--22--22-2-222-| D |2--22--20-00-0-0|3--33--33-3-333-| A |3--33--32-22-2-2|x--xx--xx-x-xxx-| E |x--xx--x3-33-3-3|x--xx--xx-x-xxx-| 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + C# (x43121@1) Be (x2444x@1)|3--33--33-3-333-|3--33--33-3-333-| B |1--11--11-1-111-|1--11--11-1-111-| G |0--00--00-0-000-|2--22--22-2-222-| D |0--00--00-0-000-|3--33--33-3-333-| A |2--22--22-2-222-|x--xx--xx-x-xxx-| E |3--33--33-3-333-|x--xx--xx-x-xxx-| 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + ------------ Instrumental (played on piano, tabbed for guitar) ------------ 4/4 e |-------5-3--5-3-3--5|--8-7-8-7-8--------| B |--------------------|-------------------| G |-5-4-5--------------|-------------5p4p0-| D |--------------------|-------------------| A |--------------------|-------------------| E |--------------------|-------------------| e |-------------------5|3-5-3-5--8-7-8-7-8----------| B |--------------------|----------------------------| G |-5-4-5-4--5-4-0--5--|--------------------4-5-7-5-| D |--------------------|----------------------------| A |--------------------|----------------------------| E |--------------------|----------------------------| ---------- Whole Song ---------- Intro: F# C# B B x2 Verse One F# (244322@1) C# (x43121@1) BWell (x2444x@1)a person can work up a mean mean thirst F# (244322@1) C# (x43121@1) B (x2444x@1) after a hard day of nothin' much at all F# (244322@1) C# (x43121@1) B (x2444x@1) Summer's passed, it's too late to cut the grass F# (244322@1) C# (x43121@1) B (x2444x@1) There ain't much to rake anyway in the fall Verse Two F# (244322@1) C# (x43121@1) BAnd (x2444x@1)sometimes I just ain't in the mood F# (244322@1) C# (x43121@1) Bto (x2444x@1)take my place in back with the loudmouths F# (244322@1) C# (x43121@1) B (x2444x@1)You're like a picture on the fridge that's never stocked with food F# (244322@1) C# (x43121@1) BUsed (x2444x@1)to live at home, now I stay at the house Bridge One C# (x43121@1) BAnd (x2444x@1)everybody wants to be special here C#They (x43121@1)call your name out loud and clear Chorus F# (244322@1) A#m (x13321@1) BHere (x2444x@1)comes a regular F# (244322@1) A#m (x13321@1) BCall (x2444x@1)out your name F# (244322@1) A#m (x13321@1) BHere (x2444x@1)comes a regular C# (x43121@1) BAm (x2444x@1)I the only one here today?
