Chords

Beat The Champ Played in standard tuning, and with almost everything barred. Open chords can work, but don't sound properly harsh in my opinion. Somewhere between a powerchord and the full barre works best. Em - 022000 F5 - 133xxx A - 002220/577655 F#m - 244222 G - 355333 B5 - x E - 022100 D5 - x577xx C5 - x355xx F - 133211 ---------------------------- Intro: Em-F5 x4 Verse 1:
Em                                      A
I was not there for rehearsal, I don't need it anymore

        F#m                                 G                  F#m
When I show up just in time to pop you can clear the goddamn floor

Em                          A
Empty out the locker room, let me find my space

F#m                                       G            B
Let him who thinks he knows no fear look well upon my face
Chorus 1:
           Em         D5
Nameless bodies - in unremembered rooms

      C5          Em            C5        D5       Em
Know how a man becomes a beast when the wolfbane blooms
Verse 2, same as the first:
Em                                A
Sail past all the grasping hands, floodlights white and hot

          F#m                G                 F#m
Bring my vision into focus, find out what I've got

        Em                             A
Some sniveling local babyface with an angle he can't sell

      F#m                              G                   B5
Full werewolf off the buckle, like an angel straight from hell

Nameless bodies - in unremembered rooms

      C5                  Em              C5 D5     Em
Run howling through the carnage when the wolfbane blooms
Bridge:
F                               Em
Half the city sound asleep and safe inside their beds

     D5              C5                 G                 B
Get lost inside my thoughts and nearly tear his face to shreds
Verse 3:
       Em                           A
Blood pooling on the canvas as the atmosphere gets hushed

            F#m                      G                    F#m
Bring your heroes to the wolf den - watch them all get crushed

     Em                         A
Get told to maybe dial it back, backstage later on

     F#m                                    G               B5
Everyone still in this building right now, dead before the dawn
Final Chorus: Chorus 2:
           Em         D5
Nameless bodies - in unremembered rooms

     C5               G                B5     Em
The pure at heart go putrid when the wolfbane blooms
Em-F5
