The Beast
Angus & Julia Stone
(A Book Like This, 2007)
capo 2
Play a straight G in the chorus if you can't manage a Gmaj7.
Some people might find it easier to play this tune with a capo 4,
Am G Dm. Dadd11 is fingered x54030 from low to high.

Bm A Em
Pack up your things
Bm A Em
Your work here is done
Bm A Em Bm A Em
A slave to the beast, no mercy with time
Bm A Em
No mercy with time
Bm A Em
They brand you with the fire
Bm A Em
Then push you into the sun
Bm A Em
They want the free land to expire
Bm A Em
They want everyone to be numb
Bm A Em
The world's drinking from a cup
Bm A Em
That no one wants to share
Bm A Em
Words from the king
Bm A Em
That no one wants to hear
Dadd11
Bm Gmaj7
Don't be running late are you on time today?
A Em
Don't be running late are you on time today?
Bm Gmaj7
Don't be running late are you on time today?
A Em
Don't be running late are you on time today?
Bm A Em
Retrench me because of machines
Bm A Em
Kids trading roses for guns
Bm A Em
Track marks under the sleeve
Bm A Em
I can't talk I need to run
Bm A Em
Love's thrown away the ring
Bm A Em
Not knowing what to say
Bm A Em
Mamma won't you sing
Bm A Em
It's like you're cut by the blade
Dadd11
