Who can kiss upside–down in the rain

"With great power comes great  responsibility"

           F               C/E       D7   G7
That's the catch phrase of old Uncle Ben

       C                Em/B           Am          C/G
If you missed it, don't worry, they'll say the line

But he's scarier without it on
