Return of the Beat Menace

Intro  Notes: c  g  f#  Bb  b 
Em no5  hereafter just Em, the same for D no5

Em
Again you announce while you whirl and bounce
                            D no5
Intentions to pounce on the beat menace
       Em
No woman or man could ever withstand
                         D
The devious plans of the beat menace

C       F#      Em   
Come to lay you low
      C       F#       Em
We've come to vex your soul

Em
Feeling the heat, hell at your feet
                        D
Don't even speak of the beat menace
Em
Something to take away your innocence
                      D
Someone to blame it on

C         F#   Em
Helps you to defeat
C       F#     Em
Dancing in the street

Interlude  Em

C       F#      Em   
Come to lay you low
      C       F#  
We've come to vex you

Em
Resolved in your mind- the nature of crime
                              D
Is to swallow the line of the beat menace
Em
You live to correct those who reject
                              D
The sins you connect to the beat menace

Em
Imagination's on the rise again
                   D
So hide your heart away
Em
Dust off the fears and guilts and lies again
                    D
The beat is here to stay

Em
Your satellite can reach that Eskimo
                   D
He buys a suit and tie
Em
Re-styles his hair like girls in Tupelo
                         D
And sings "Sweet Bye And Bye"
Em
He's meeting all your strange requirements
                       D
He thinks you can't be fooled
Em
He'll get the rules and laws and sacraments
                     D
By sending checks to you
      C       F#      Em
We've come to bring you low
