                          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                                                                         
 B       EmAEmA

            Em                                                                  
                        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       
                          D

    Out of the doorway the bullets rip,   to the sound of the beat.  + CHORUS

      Em                                          Em

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

      Em                                           Em

    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.

          D

1. I'd sit alone and watch your light,

         Em

    my only friend through teenage nights,

            G                                         Em               
 G   D

    and everything I had to know, I heard it on my radio.

             D

2. You gave them all those old time stars,

                  Em

    through wars of worlds, invaded by Mars,

              G

    you made 'em laugh, you made 'em cry,

            Em                       G           D    
 D

    you made us feel like we could fly (radio).

            D

    So don't become some background noise,

         F

    a backdrop for the girls and boys,

             G

    who just don't know or just don't care,

            e

    and just complain when you're not there.

             D

    You had your time, you had the power,

                A                                            G  D  G  D

            D

3. We watch the shows, we watch the stars

        Em

    on videos for hours and hours.



            G

    We hardly need to use our ears,

            Em                        G              D

    how music changes through the years.

              D

    Let's hope you’ll 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

    you've yet to have your finest hour. Radio (radio).

 G          D         G     D         G     
 D           G      D

All we hear is, radio ga ga, radio goo goo, radio ga ga.

G                            Am                                        
   G

    you brought me fame     and fortune and everything,

                                                     Am

    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.)
