Paul Revere - Beastie Boys chords
Start Jamming...
Now, here's a little story I got to tell about three bad brothers you know so well.
It started way back [Gb] in history with that Rob, CA, and me.
My team!
Then had a little hostie named Paul [Ab] Reveal.
Just me and my hostie and a quart of beer.
Ridin' across the land, kickin' up sand.
[Db] Sharing slices on my down, cause I'm in [D] demand.
One [A] lonely VTIP.
All by myself without nobody.
The sun is beating down on my baseball hat.
The air is getting hot, the beer is getting hot.
Looking for a girl, I ran into a guy.
His name is MCA.
I said, howdy.
He said, hi.
[B] [A]
He told a little story that sounded well rehearsed.
Four days on the run and that he's dying of thirst.
The brew is in my hand and he was on my tip.
[Db] His voice was hoarse and so was I.
He asked me [A] for a tip.
He said, can I get some?
I said, you can't get none.
Had a chance to run, pulled out a shotgun.
Click on the draw, I thought I'd be dead.
[Db] He put the gun to my [A] head and this is what he said.
Now, my name is MCA.
I got a license to kill.
I think you know what time it is.
It's time to get ill.
Now, what do we have here?
And I owe him his beer.
[Dbm] I run this land, you understand.
[Ab] I made myself clear.
We stepped into the wind.
He had a gun and had a grin.
[Ab] You think the story's over, but it's ready to [B] begin.
[A]
[N] Yeah!
I got the gun, you got the boo.
You got two choices of what you can do.
If not, I'll tell the season as you can see.
I can blow you away if you watch me.
I said I'd ride with you if you can get me to the border.
The sheriff's after me for what I did to his daughter.
I did it like this.
I did it like that.
[D] I did it with the whiffle ball bat.
[Ab] So, I'm on the run.
The cop got my gun.
And right about now, it's time to have some fun.
The king had rock.
That is my name.
And I [Db] know the fly spot where they [G] got the champagne.
We rode for [A] six hours, then we hit the spot.
The beat was open and the girlies was hot.
The dude was staring like he knows who we are.
We took the empty spot next to him at the bar.
And he said,
Yeah, so, you know this kid?
I said, I did it, but I know he [Gb] did.
The kid said,
Get ready, cause this ain't funny.
My name's Mike D and [A] I'm about to get money.
Pulled off the jammie, [N] aimed it at the sky. He yelled,
Take him out!
And let [A] two fly.
Hands went up and people hit the floor.
He wasted two kids [N] that ran for the door.
I'm Mike D and I get respect.
Your cash and your jewelry is what I [Ab] expect.
MCA was with it and he's my ace.
So, I grabbed the piano player and [A] I punched him in the face.
Piano player's out.
The music stopped.
This boy had keep and he got dropped.
Mikey, grab the money.
[Gb] MCA starts to go.
[Ab] I grabbed two girlies and a beer that's cold.
[A] They come high and I will kick them.
[Ab] I kick and they clap and they clap.
They clap and they clap.
[Eb]
They [A]
[B] [A] just clap.
[Abm]
[Ab] [Abm] [N]
They clap back and I'm going,
I gotta get this view.
[N]
