                          A

1. Steve walks warily down the street, with the brim pulled way down low.

Em                                                                             
                      A

    Ain't no sound but the sound of his feet, machine guns ready to go.

                   C                       G

    Are you ready, are you ready for this,

                   C                                           G

    are you hanging on the edge of your seat?

C                                         G            A      
                            D

    Out of the doorway the bullets rip,     to the sound of the beat. Yeah!

Em                                   A    e

                                   A

    And another one gone, and another one gone , another one bites the dust.

    F#m

                        A

    You took me for everything that I had, and kicked me out on my own.

                    C                      G                    
                                 G

    Are you happy, are you satisfied, how long can you stand the heat?

      C                                   G           A

    Another one bites the dust.    Another one bites the dust.

                             A

3. There are plenty of ways you can hurt a man, and bring him to the ground.

                  Em

   You can beat him, you can cheat him, you can treat him bad,

                                                A

    and leave him when he's down.

                  C                     G                           
                                  G

    But I'm ready, yes I'm ready for you, I'm standing on my own two feet.

      C                                   G                   
                                   D

    Out of the doorway the bullets rip, repeating the sound of the beat.

    my only friend through teenage nights,

            G                                         Em

    We hardly need to use our ears,

            Em                        G              D

    how music changes through the years.

              D

    Let's hope youll never leave old friends,

           F

    like all good things on you we depend.

           G

    So stick around cause we might miss you,

               e

    when we grow tired of all this visual.

             D

    You had your time, you had the power.

                A                                            G  D  G  D

    that goes with it,     I thank you all.

G                                       C        F            
          C

    But it's been no bed of roses,     no pleasure cruise,

F                            C               G                
                 A

    I consider it a  challenge before the whole human race

               D               G                                       
G7       A         A7

    and I ain't gonna lose. (And I need to go on and on and on and on.)
