Beat City - The Flowerpot Men
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: eimeek
Tuning: standard
This is my interpretation of beat city. It seemed pretty easy to play compared to other tabs I've seen.
I took the lyrics for the chorus from lyricsmania.com, but the rest are by ear. Enjoy!
Intro:

So basically, if you have two guitarists, then one guitar will continue this pattern throughout the song.
You can use this the whole way through if you want, but the basic chords that I improvised are
A minorAm G+G C majorC and D.
[Chorus:]
A minorAm G+G C majorC D MajorD
Beat city now now,
Beat beat,
Beat city now now,
Woo-oo-oo,
Beat city now now,
Beat beat,
Beat beat,
Beat city,
I watch you tumble down.
[Verse:]
A minorAm G+G C majorC D MajorD
Holy Joe America, Roll your hands in policies
A minorAm G+G C majorC D MajorD
I love it when you smile, I love it when you
A minorAm G+G C majorC D MajorD
Sing, sing, sing, sing, sing, sing

[Repeat chorus]
(Verse 2:) A minorAm G+G C majorC D MajorD
Holy Joe hold out your hand, put some dollars down you're wild
When it takes you by surprise, I'll be there to watch you
Run run run run run, run run run run run, run run run run run, run run run run
Beat city now now.....
... and figure out the rest for yourselves :)
