CREATE A MONSTER - Paul Dean
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed By: Allen Pike
Tuning: Standard
Album: Machine (1995)
The song is a fairly complex, but here are the chords. Playing this along with
the song and improvising some embellishments can produce a serviceable version
of this excellent tune.
Em* Riff: Em G/Em Em G/Em Em
Em* A7
Say the magic word
Em* A7
And we'll bring out Mr. Hyde
Em* A7
And we'll take our Dr. Jekyll
Em* A7
For a midnight ride
D E
Something in my drink I guess
D E
Made my twisted mind a mess
D E
If I misread your innocence
D B7
I'll become your animal
CHORUS:
A7 E7
You create a monster
A7
When you expect it least
E7
You bring out the beast
A7 E7
You create a monster
A7
So I say to you
E7
Welcome to the feast
Em*
Well every night
A7
It's the same old thing
Em* A7
It don't matter what I do
Em* A7
I can't hide my emotions
Em* A7
So baby I drink to you
D E
We got a full moon rising
D E
You know it whets my appetite
D E
So come along now and don't be shy
D B7
I'll take you to the other side
CHORUS:
A7 E7
You create a monster
A7
When you expect it least
E7
You bring out the beast
A7 E7
You create a monster
A7
So I say to you
E7
Welcome to the feast
B A
I try to keep it all inside
A G
But every night I lose my mind
B A
They say, Don't be afraid of the dark
A B7
And I'm telling you my bite
Is much worse than my bark
SOLO: (Chorus chords then bridge chords)
A7 E7 A7 E7 A7 E7 A7 E7
D E7 D E7 D E7 D B7
SPOKEN: Em
Yeah I thought I'd seen it all before
Thought I had the cat by the tail
Then this girl, she came around
And everything was comparatively pale
Em* A7
So when you say the magic word
Em* A7
And we'll bring out Mr. Hyde
Em* A7
And we'll take our Dr. Jekyll
Em* A7
For a midnight ride
D E
Something in my drink I guess
D E
Made my twisted mind a mess
D E
Tonight my fever's running hot
D B7
It's time to take my shot
CHORUS:
A7 E7
You create a monster
A7
When you expect it least
E7
You bring out the beast
A7 E7
You create a monster
A7
So I say to you
E7
Welcome to the feast
B7
Now I raise my glass to you
B7
Yes, I drink to you
(CHORUS)
End on E
