COLOR ME IMPRESSED [from Hootenany]

Matt - Thanks for the Replacements transcriptions.  I have a fun one to 
add to your list. I'll do my best to explain it (and remember the lyrics) 
without the benefit of my guitar - I'm at work right now.  All chords are 
barred rather than open.  I'll add comments where necessary.

Verse One

E       E/Dm       B                  B/A#
Everybody         at     your    party

A                A/G#       A
They dont look depressed

E        E/Dm    B     B/A#
Everybodys actin' funny

A       A/G#        A
Color me impressed

(Note: chords with slash denote a step down on the fretboard with only your 
index finger on the bass note of the chord. ie the chord remains the 
same, just step down the bass note [string]).

(Repeat chord progression twice between these verses- Second verse, same 
as the first - as far as chord progression)

Verse Two

Stayin out late tonight
Won't be gettin' sleep
Giving up at work
Cause it's all that they won't keep

Break One

C# hammer-on (see note below) three times ending on E
    (repeat this cycle four times, the final time ending on A rather than E)

(Barre at the C# with your index finger and then hammer-on the chord for 
this next part - or slide from B-C#).


Verse Three

Well the monkey's on the mirror
Won't you pass the pill to Chris
Intoxicated
Never ending our French kiss

Break Two

E  B E  B  E  B     E   D#  C#  B   
(stroke the E twice each time in the E-B change)
  Can you stand me on my feet

E  B E  B  E  B     E   D#  C#  B
  Can you stand me on my feet

(Repeat Break One)

(Repeat Verse One)

(Repeat Break Two without lyrics)

This is really a simple song, just looks complicated by the way I 
transcribed it.


[I was sent a correction by the author the next day:
 
"During the verses, the progession is E, E/Dmin, A, B, G, G/F#."  --M@ ]
