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- F5x4
Verse 1:
EmI was not there for rehearsal, I don't nAeed it anymore
When I sF#mhow up just in time to pop you can cGlear the goddamn flF#moor
EmEmpty out the locker room, lAet me find my space
F#mLet him who thinks he knows no fear look wGell upon my fBace
Chorus 1:
Nameless boEmdies - in uD5nremembered rooms
Know hC5ow a man becEmomes a beast wC5hen the woD5lfbane blEmooms
Verse 2, same as the first:
EmSail past all the grasping hands, Afloodlights white and hot
Bring my vF#mision into focus, fGind out what I've F#mgot
Some sniEmveling local babyface with an aAngle he can't sell
Full wF#merewolf off the buckle, like an aGngel straight from hB5ell
Chorus 2:
Nameless boEmdies - in uD5nremembered rooms
Run hoC5wling through the caEmrnage when the wC5olfD5bane blEmooms
Bridge:
FHalf the city sound asleep and sEmafe inside their beds
Get lD5ost inside my thC5oughts and nearly tGear his face to shBreds
Verse 3:
Blood pEmooling on the canvas as the aAtmosphere gets hushed
Bring your hF#meroes to the wolf den - wGatch them all get cruF#mshed
Get tEmold to maybe dial it back, Abackstage later on
EveryF#mone still in this building right now, dGead before the dB5awn
Final Chorus:
Chorus 2:
Nameless boEmdies - in uD5nremembered rooms
The pC5ure at heart go pGutrid when the woB5lfbane Emblooms
