Something Beautiful Happening

Key of E
Very fast strumming
E-D-A-E is general pattern
Main guitar actually plays E-B drone chords for these using an 'A2' pattern, so :
E is E5 at 7th
D is D6/9 at 5th
A is A2
G is G6 at 10th
Other guitar can play regular E-D-A open chords, and also mix them with Sus4 versions in a measure, like :
E-ESus4-E-E

Intro :
- Finger pick E2/D2/A2 open chords, or pick
- Play 1 bar of E-D-A-E drone sequence

E
Into the darkness, out of the light
D
There's something strange here, it doesn't feel right
A-----------------------------------------E
Oooh, there's something beautiful happening.

You might be thinking, it's all lost for you
Got a chance now, to make something new.
Oooh, there's something beautiful happening.

Interlude:
GDEE GDEE AAAA[high fret] DDDD EEEE

All around me, disease and despair
But can't you hear it, gasping for air
Oooh, there's something beautiful happening.

The Beast

Key of G

Verse 1

----Em------------C
The Beast said to me
--------Em--------C
He said come over here boy
--Em--------------C
I got to show you something
---------D7
That you ain't never seen

Well I went willingly
With all my curiosity
I had to see this thing
That could educate me

Chorus
G,D,C * 3
And soon I was flying down a river of pain
Or maybe it was pleasure, I was going insane
I lost all control of the thing they call brain
D,DSus
until I came....out of that dream

Verse 2

The Beast said to me
he said sorry 'bout that boy
You really shouldn't take it all
so seriously

I got something else
behind door number three
I know you're gonna love it
And I just had to see

Chorus

Solo

Verse 3

The Beast said now boy,
we've been through this before
You like to deny it
But I know you want more

I got something special
and I saved it for last
You know you can't resist it
Yeah I just couldn't pass

Chorus
