Alex Chilton, by the Replacements.
I crossed the Replacements off the list earlier this week, with two of their songs done in this project, and struggling since then to pick a favorite and do it justice, but I was listening to the Bandsplain episode about them and hearing this again, with some context, made me insist to myself that I needed this song back on the list.

These are probably… not the original chords. The version online says something about using a capo so you can stay in standard tuning, which, to me, is like, an interesting hint that there’s a rabbit hole to go down trying to figure out how they played it, but then again, I would think the volume of alcohol they consumed at their own live shows would not mix well with too many complex tunings? Or is that just me…
