Soul Asylum "Just Like Anyone"
>From "Let Your Dim Light Shine"
Transcribed by Bryan Pero (perob@willow.uml.edu)
Okay, this is a pretty easy song. There are two guitars playing at most
times. Gtr.1 (Dave Pirener) plays first position chords, while Gtr.2
(Dan Murphy) plays barre chords. On the verses hit D chord once then
palm mute it and strum. Then, when you play G upstroke it once. Just
listen to the CD, you'll get it.
Verse I
D G
She walks into the outhouse, the cold night breathes into her face
D G
The flies are standing still now, the moon it spills through the place
Chorus I
C G D
And she starts wondering what it's like to be liked by everyone, and
C G D C G
And like everyone be just like anyone, who just wants to be so
D D
Just like anyone, just like anyone
Verse II
D G
She reaches through the darkness, her fingers touch the porcelain seat
D G
She spins and pulls her pants down, the cold air holds her like a thief
Chorus II
C G D
And she starts wondering what they mean, do they just mean to be mean
C G D
And thinking about the scene, do they just want to be seen
C G D D
Try not to seem so, Just like anyone, Just like anyone
