Chords with lyrics
Tuning: G C E A (G C E A)
Difficulty: Novice
C
Be prepared, that's the Boy Scouts' marching song
G
Be prepared, as through life you march along
C E A
Be prepared to hold your liquor fairly well
D G
Don't write naughty words on walls if you can't spell
C
Be prepared to hide that pack of cigarettes
G
Don't make book if you cannot cover bets
C F
Keep those reefers hidden where you're sure that they will not be found
D G
And be careful not to smoke them when the scoutmaster's around
C F D
For he only will insist that they be shared
F G C F C F C G
Be prepared
C
Be prepared, that's the Boy Scouts' solemn creed
G
Be prepared, and be clean in word and deed
C E A
Don't solicit for your sister, that's not nice
D G
Unless you get a good percentage of her price
C G
Be prepared, and be careful not to do your good deeds
When there's no one watching you
C F
If you're looking for adventure of a new and different kind
D G
And you come across a Girl Scout who is similarly inclined
C F D
Don't be nervous, don't be flustered, don't be scared
F G C F C F G C
Be prepared
