Soul Asylum is an american alternative rock band formed in the summer of 1981 by Minneapolis high school friends Dan Murphy, Karl Mueller, and Dave Pirner. The band (named Loud Fast Rules up until 1984) quickly became frontrunners of American college rock, following in the tradition of fellow Minnesota bands H&uuml;sker D&uuml; and The Replacements.  Landing their first record deal with Twin/Tone in 1984, Soul Asylum recorded a total of four albums for the local label: Say What You Will... Everything Can Happen in 1984 (later reissued as <span title="Unknown album" class="bbcode_unknown">Say What You Will, Clarence.</span>

Soul Asylum est un groupe de rock alternatif formé à Minneapolis, Minnesota, 

Soul Asylum ist eine US-amerikanische Alternative Rock-Band, die besonders durch den Hit Runaway Train aus dem Jahre 1992 bekannt geworden ist.  Bandgeschichte  Soul Asylum entstand 1983 als Nachfolger der 1981 von Dan Murphy (Gitarre), Karl Mueller (Bass) und Dave Pirner (Schlagzeug) in Minneapolis, Minnesota, gegründeten Band Loud Fast Rules. Dieser Name steht für die Musik in den ersten Jahren des Bestehens, die lauter und schneller Hardcore Punk war. Im Gründungsjahr kam Grant Young als Schlagzeuger in die Band; Pirner wechselte dafür an die Gitarre und übernahm den Gesang.

Sus integrantes son Dave Pirner (voz y guitarra), Dan Murphy (voz y guitarra), Karl Mueller (voz y bajo) y Grant Young (batería).  Soul Asylum empezó como una banda punk al estilo de los grupos de su ciudad natal como Replacements y Hüsker Dü. Con la inigualable mezcla del grupo de energía punk, ritmos de jazz, con tintes de country y sólidas composiciones, pronto se ganaron el título de la &quot;mejor banda en vivo en América.&quot;   En 1981 los compañeros de cuarto Karl Mueller y Dan Murphy, de 18 y 19 años respectivamente, formaron Loud Fast Rules, junto con el baterista de 17 años Dave Pirner.

Misery

&quot;Misery&quot; is a 1995 song performed by the Minneapolis rock band Soul Asylum. Although Let Your Dim Light Shine critically suffered in comparison to its predecessor, Grave Dancers Union, &quot;Misery&quot; managed to hit number 20 on The Billboard Hot 100 and number 1 on the US Modern Rock Tracks chart. The song also featured prominently in Kevin Smith's 2006 movie Clerks II.  Some people have speculated that the song itself is referring to the fact that the record companies like to make &quot;Misery&quot; (aka alternative rock songs with dark lyrics).

Let Your Dim Light Shine

Intro: [C][C]

1st Verse :
C                   C
 Call you up in the middle of the night
Em              Em
 Like a firefly without a light
Am                     Am
 You were there like a blowtorch burning
G                       G
 I was a key that could use a little turning
C                C
 So tired that I couldn't even sleep
Em               Em
 So many secrets I couldn't keep
Am               Am
 Promised myself I wouldn't leave
G                 G
 One more promise I couldn't keep

Pre-Chorus :
   F                G
It seems no one can help me now
        C                   Am
And I'm in too deep there's no way out
F                Em           G            G
This time I have really led myself astray


Chorus:
C              C
 Runaway train never going back
Em              Em
 Wrong way on a one way track
Am                      Am
 Seems like I should be getting somewhere
G                    G                G     Gx 
 Somehow I'm neither here nor there                E|----3---5---3---0------|


2nd verse :
C                  C
 Can you help me remember how to smile
Em                   Em
 Make it somehow all seem worthwhile
Am                  Am
 How on earth did I get so jaded
G               G
 Life's mystery seems so faded
C                C 
 I can go where no one else can go
Em            Em
 I know what no one else knows
Am              Am
 Here I am just drownin&#8217; in the rain
G                    G
 With a ticket for a runaway train
Pre-chorus :
F             G
Everything is cut and dry
C              Am
Day and night Earth and sky
F        Em            G
Somehow I just don't believe it


Chorus:
C              C
 Runaway train never going back
Em              Em
 Wrong way on a one way track
Am                      Am
 Seems like I should be getting somewhere
G                    G
 Somehow I'm neither here nor there


Solo :

Bridge :
C>let ring         (C)
 Got a ticket for a runaway train
Em>let ring   (Em)
 Like a madman laughing at the rain
Am>let ring         (Am)
 Little out of touch little insane
G>let ring             G
 It's just easier than dealing with the pain


Chorus:
C              C
 Runaway train never going back
Em              Em
 Wrong way on a one way track
Am                      Am
 Seems like I should be getting somewhere
G                    G
 Somehow I'm neither here nor there
C              C
 Runaway train never going back
Em             Em
 Runaway train tearing up the track
Am             Am
 Runaway train burning in my veins
G               G
 Runaway but it always seems the same.

But if you're here with me, I know which way to turn

You Make It Real

G         Em		  
1) Almost heaven,   West Virginia,
2) All my mem'ries, gather round her, 

   D			 C                G
1) Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah       River.
2) miner's lady,         stranger to blue water.

                      Em  
1) Life is old there, older than the trees, 
2) Dark and dusty,    painted on the sky, 

   D
1) younger than the mountains
2) misty taste of moonshine

   C			G
1) growin' like a breeze.
2) teardrop in my eye.

              G              D            Em        C
       Country roads, take me home, to the place I belong.
	      G               D              C            G
     West Virginia, Mountain momma, take me home Country roads


           Em       D            G 
 	I hear her voice in the morning hour she calls me,
            C        G              D 
        the radio reminds her of my home far away
            Em               D            C
        and driving down the road I get a feeling 
 	       G                     D          D7    G
        that I should have been home yesterday, yesterday.

School Friends

Am      C              F              C
I had a dream, we were sipping whisky neat
        F              C                 G
Highest floor, the Bowery, and nowhere’s high enough
    Am              C                F             C
Somewhere along the lines, we stopped seeing eye to eye
         F               C           G
You were staying out all night and I had enough


      F           Am             F                    C       
No, I don't wanna know where you been or where you're goin’
      F               Am                 G
But I know I won't be home and you'll be on your own


            F                    C                G
Who's gonna walk you through the dark side of the morning?
            F                 C                 G
Who's gonna rock you when the sun won't let you sleep?
             F                C               G         E7   Am
Who's waking up to drive you home when you're drunk and all alone?
             F                    C                G
Who's gonna walk you through the dark side of the morning, it ain’t me


Am        C              G         F   
Ow-ow, ah-ah the Bowery, ow-ow, ah-ah whiskey neat

Where y’go, I’m so, grateful, I (it ain’t me)


Am  C  Am       C              F           C
       I had a dream, we were back to seventeen
       F                   C            G
Summer nights and the Libertines, never growing up
Am             C          F                 C
I'll take with me the polaroids and the memories
        F              C                G
But you know I'm gonna leave behind the worst of us
