Chords with lyrics

Werewolf Gimmick
The Mountain Goats
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.

Intro: Em-F5 x4

Verse 1:

E minorEm                   A augmentedA
I was not there for rehearsal, I don't need it anymore
    F# minorF#m                 G+G         F# minorF#m
When I show up just in time to pop you can clear the goddamn floor
E minorEm             A augmentedA
Empty out the locker room, let me find my space
F# minorF#m                    G+G      BB
Let him who thinks he knows no fear look well upon my face

Chorus 1:
      E minorEm     D5D5
Nameless bodies - in unremembered rooms
   C5C5     E minorEm      C5C5    D5D5    E minorEm
Know how a man becomes a beast when the wolfbane blooms

Verse 2, same as the first:

E minorEm                A augmentedA
Sail past all the grasping hands, floodlights white and hot
     F# minorF#m        G+G         F# minorF#m
Bring my vision into focus, find out what I've got
    E minorEm               A augmentedA
Some sniveling local babyface with an angle he can't sell
   F# minorF#m               G+G          B5B5
Full werewolf off the buckle, like an angel straight from hell

Chorus 2:
      E minorEm     D5D5
Nameless bodies - in unremembered rooms
   C5C5         E minorEm       C5C5 D5D5   E minorEm
Run howling through the carnage when the wolfbane blooms


Bridge:

FF                E minorEm
Half the city sound asleep and safe inside their beds
   D5D5       C5C5         G+G         BB
Get lost inside my thoughts and nearly tear his face to shreds


Verse 3:

    E minorEm              A augmentedA
Blood pooling on the canvas as the atmosphere gets hushed
      F# minorF#m           G+G          F# minorF#m
Bring your heroes to the wolf den - watch them all get crushed
   E minorEm             A augmentedA
Get told to maybe dial it back, backstage later on
   F# minorF#m                  G+G        B5B5
Everyone still in this building right now, dead before the dawn


Final Chorus:

Chorus 2:
      E minorEm     D5D5
Nameless bodies - in unremembered rooms
   C5C5        G+G        B5B5   E minorEm
The pure at heart go putrid when the wolfbane blooms
