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

^DShe walks into the outhouse, the cold night breathes into her ^Gface ^DThe flies are standing still now, the moon it spills through the ^Gplace

Chorus I

And she starts ^Cwondering what it's ^Glike to be ^Dliked by everyone, and And ^Clike every^Gone be ^Djust like anyone, who ^Cjust wants to ^Gbe so

^DJust like anyone, ^Djust like anyone Verse II

^DShe reaches through the darkness, her fingers touch the porcelain ^Gseat ^DShe spins and pulls her pants down, the cold air holds her like a ^Gthief

Chorus II

And she starts ^Cwondering what they ^Gmean, do they ^Djust mean to be mean And ^Cthinking about the ^Gscene, do they ^Djust want to be seen

^CTry not to ^Gseem so, ^DJust like anyone, ^DJust like anyone Guitar Solo: Gtr.1 strum chords about tab. I've included the time on the CD at certain points about the tab to help you follow.
