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.
A
In my waxed up hair and my painted shoes
A
Got an offer that you might refuse
A
Tonight, tonight, we’re gonna take a stab
A
Come on along, we’ll grab a cab
D
We ain’t much to look at so
A
Close your eyes, here we go
D
We’re playin’ at the talent show
A

D
Check us out, here we go
A
Playin’ at the talent show
A
Well we got our guitars and we got some picks
A
An’ we’re goin’ after some lip-sync chicks
A
We’re feelin’ good from the pills we took
A
Oh, baby, don’t gimme that look
D
We ain’t much to look at so
A
Close your eyes, here we go
D
We’re playin’ at the talent show
A
Playin’ at the talent show
D
Come on along, here we go
A
Playin’ at the talent show
D
Hop a ride, here we go
A
Playin’ at the talent show
A
Well it’s the biggest thing in my life I guess
Look at us all, we’re nervous wrecks
Hey, we go on next
D
Playin’ at the talent show
A
Playin’ at the talent show
D
Wish us luck if you can’t go
A
Playin’ at the talent show
D
An empty seat in the front row
A
Might be winners now, you never know
It’s too late to turn back, here we go
