The Replacements - Swingin' Party (cover)

Best song on "Tim." Testing out my new 12-string.

Bring your own lampshade, somewhere there's a party
Here it's never endin', can't remember when it started
Pass around the lampshade, there'll be plenty enough room in jail

If bein' wrong's a crime, I'm serving forever
If bein' strong's your kind, then I need help here with this feather
If bein' afraid is a crime, we hang side by side
At the swingin' party down the line

Pound the prairie pavement, losin' proposition
Quittin' school and goin' to work and never goin' fishin'
Water all around, never learned how to swim now

If bein' wrong's a crime, I'm serving forever
If bein' strong's your kind, then I need help here with this feather
If bein' afraid is a crime, we hang side by side
At the swingin' party down the line
At the swingin' party down the line

Bring your own lampshade, somewhere there's a party
Here it's never endin', can't remember when it started
Pass around the lampshade, there'll be plenty enough room in jail

If bein' wrong's a crime, I'm serving forever
If bein' strong is what you want, then I need help here with this feather
If bein' afraid is a crime, we hang side by side
At the swingin' party down the line

@Stinkerstien Thanks!

You're too good for the every now and then at a bar. I see the passion. I know life's other obligations can keep us away from the stage but show em what you got as much as you can. An investment in a 12-string is a statement in itself. Sweet 12-stringer btw

@whentherope $175 and worth every penny!

[whentherope]

Great job! I'd love to know what you're playing, I havn't been able to think it out (people hate admitting that their minds aren't as quick as others) and none of the tabs I've seen so far have made since. Did I mention Great job, great song but have you heard Hold My Life, Little Mascara, I think Bastards was on that one too, and the cliche fave Here Comes. My fave is HML but it's a tough call on which is the best imo

[mskcouric]

@whentherope I play most of those songs with some friends of mine every now and then at a bar. All great songs. I'm not a huge fan of Here Comes, but I think Left of the Dial is one of their best songs. The whole album is great. Message me privately and I'll try to help you out with the chords! Thanks!

@mskcouric man, this is so rad. thank you! if you ever play nyc, please let me know.

How did I forget to mention Left Of The Dial, an all time fave. I agree, Here Comes A doesn't knock me over like some of his/their others but a lot of people/fans seem to like it. I saw a youtube vid where PW did like an aol session, not sure if it was aol but something like that of Here Comes and he seemed to be proud of it. He seems aware of the legend of it and the significance of it to his career. I don't think it stands out in his catalogue as a whole. I'll message you about the chords.
