Monster (alternate chords)
Written by Gerry Beckley, ©1977
I was just noodling around on the guitar and stumbled across the correct chords to the song Monster from Harbor. I checked out the original chords on this site and it seems in order to get the right sound, you throw the capo on the 2nd fret. By transposing the current chords you come up with the following.
Jason Colannino
Capo 2nd Fret
Fmaj7 Fmaj9 C Csus2 Em Am D7

(Intro)
Fmaj7 Fmaj9 C Csus2
The monster exposed himself from underground
Fmaj7 Fmaj9 C Csus2
Burning his face as he ran through the town
Fmaj7 Fmaj9 Em
Hoping the patrons just don't hear a sound
Fmaj7 Fmaj9 C Csus2
Heart, court and harmony just ain't the same
Fmaj7 Fmaj9 C Csus2
My black and their green playing some games
Fmaj7 Fmaj9 Em
I've got all these pictures I just need the frames
C Em
These are the things that you'll never do
Am D7
Feeding the wife on the phone
Fmaj7 Fmaj9 C Csus2 Fmaj7 Fmaj9 C Csus2
And there you are, all on your own
Fmaj7 Fmaj9 C Csus2
Red and blue, I want to like a hole in the head
Fmaj7 Fmaj9 C Csus2
It slopes in the middle and is stopping them dead
Fmaj7 Fmaj9 Em
I'd like to help them; I've already said
C Em
These are the things that you'll never do
Am D7
Running away from your home
Fmaj7 Fmaj9 C Csus2
And there you are, all on your own
Fmaj7 Fmaj9 C Csus2 Fmaj7 Fmaj9 C
Mm, mm. Mm, mm.
