Weezer - The Greatest Man That Ever Lived (Variations On A Shaker Hymn): chords

    G#
You try to play cool like you just don't care
But soon I'll be playin' in your underwear
I'm like a mage with the magic spell
You come like a dog when I ring your bell
G#                  Cm
I got the money and I got the fame
C#                     G#
You've got the hots to ride on my plane
       D#                Cm
You've given me all that I desire
    G#
Cuz down with me I'm taking you higher

Chorus:
G#           D#/G
  I'm baddest    of the bad
C#                  G#
  I'm the best that you've ever had
D#            A#m
  I'm the tops   I'm the king
D#                  C#
  All the girls get up when I sing
G#                D#/G
  I'm the meanest     in the place
C#             G#
  Step up I'll mess with your face
D#            Cm
  I don't care  where you are
C#            G#
  Look up and follow this star

G# D#/G C#          G#            D#  A#m
  I       I'm gonna tear down the wall
D#          C#               G#  D#/G C#
  I may not be here when you call
           G#             D# A#m D#   C#
So best be giving me your all      oo hoo

Chorus:
G#        Cm    C#             G#
After the havoc that I'm gonna wreak
D#                 A#m
No more words will critics have to speak
G#           Cm
I've got the answers
C#             G#
To the tangled knot
 D#         Cm      C# G#
Sleep tight in your cot

G# D#/G C#                    G#
Oh baby   I've been told that I'm going crazy
D#   A#m       D#              C#
  Oh baby well I can't be held down
G#   D#/G C#            G#
  Oh baby   somehow I'm keeping it steady
D#   Cm       C#              G#
  Oh baby I'm tearing up this town

Chorus:
G#   D#/G        C#     G#
  Hey    this is what I like
D#       Cm           C#        G#
  Cut my heart with a martyr's spike
G#   D#/G        C#      G#
  Hey    this is nothing new
D#         Cm         C#        G#
  I've got more than enough for you

G#
  I can take on anybody
C#            G#
  I can do my thing
D#               G#
  I don't want to  hurt nobody
      C               Fm
But a bee has got to sting
A#m                           D#
   I'mma fix it if you mix it up hoo hoo
A#m                                    D#
   Talk smack and I'm a gonna shut you up hoo hoo

Chorus:
G#       D#/G     C#            G#
I am the greatest man that ever lived
D#    Cm      C#  G#
I was born to give
G#       D#/G     C#            G#
I am the greatest man that ever lived
   D#  Cm C#  G#
Oh radioactive

G#                      D#/G
  Somebody said all the world is
                             C#
a stage and each of us is a player
                      G#
That's what I've been trying to tell you
       G#                         D#/G
In act one I was struggling to survive
                         C#
Nobody wanted my action dead or alive
       G#
In act two I hit the big time
     G#                       D#/G
and bodies be all up on my behind
                   C#                          G#
And I can't help myself cuz I was born to shine
                             G#
If you don't like it you can shove it
              D#/G
But you don't like it you love it
              C#
So I'll be up here in a rage until
             G#
they put the curtain down on the stage

Chorus:
G#       D#/G     A#m      D#   C#   D# Fm D#/G G# D#/G
I am the greatest man that ever lived
G#                D#            G#
I am the greatest man that ever lived
G#                D#            G#
I am the greatest man that ever lived

Chorus:
G#       Cm       C#            G#
I am the greatest man that ever lived
D#                              C#
I was born to give and give and give
G#       Cm       C#            G#
I am the greatest man that ever lived
G#  Cm D#  Cm D#  Cm D#  Cm
Radioac  dioac  dioac  dioac
G#       Cm       C#            G#
I am the greatest man that ever lived
D#    Cm      C#  C# C# C#    G# G#
I was born to give        Hope
