Hi [N] YouTube friends
This is an acoustic tutorial on how to play the song Skyway by The Replacements.
It's from the
1988 album
Pleased to meet me.
It's their fifth studio album
Originally, they had done this song on a 12 string with capo on the third fret
But I've seen videos of Paul Westerberg in which he plays a version with the capo on the second fret
So it's lowered half a step
The chords in this song are very easy
[F] they're very
Reminds me a lot of
The [Cm] songs by big star songs like the [F] Ballad of El Gudo and especially 13
So the chords are D
[Bb] G
[F] You walk the T
through the
F-sharp bass note [Gm] into E minor
[C] to an A7
But at the end you can add the pinky on the third fret of the high E string
[Gm]
[C] [Bb] G
[F] [Gm]
E minor [Eb] there's a C in it
C6
[C] A7
So in fact, those are all the basic chords
Strumming pattern is a [F] bit difficult
He plays it very fast
[D] But it all [G] revolves
[Gm]
around the three notes [Cm] on the high E string open second fret
[C]
[G]
[F]
[Gm] I hope you can figure it out from this recording
[F] [G]

[Bb] Oh
[Gm]
[Eb] [C]
[G] [Gm]
[Eb] [C]
[F] [G]
Walking down that [F] little runway
[G] Place I'd catch my ride [F] almost every day
[Gm] There wasn't a damn thing I could do [C] or say
[Bb] Beneath the skyway
[F] Up [G] in the skyway
[F] Up [G] in the skyway
[F] Up [G] in the skyway
You
[F]
[G] High above the busy little [F] one way
