Soul Asylum "Just Like Anyone"
From "Let Your Dim Light Shine"
Transcribed by Bryan Pero ([email protected])
Okay, this is a pretty easy song (Texts of songs ). 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
