CAPO 3
hold the chord and pick the melody, I've marked when to stop picking,
at that point you revert to regular strumming.
The man in black picks the B7 chord as well (same melody as the A chord),
when i play the song i do too, but it sounds just as good when you don't.

The beast in me
DIs caged by frEail and fragile bAars

Restless by day
And by niAght rants and raGges at the stB7ars
D (melody) E A
God help, The beast in me
(pause) A
The beast in me
DHas had to leEarn to live with paAin
DAnd how to shEelter from the rainA
D E (end melody)
And in the twinkling of an
Aeye might haGve to be restrB7ained
D (melody) E A
God help, The beast in me
C#Sometimes it tries to kid me
DThat it's just a teddy bear
C#And even somehow manage
Ato vanish in the air
EAnd that's when i must beware
(pause) A
Of the beast in me
DThat everybEody knoAws
D E (end melody)
They've seen him outdressed in my
clAothes patGently unB7clear
D(melody)Is it New YEork or new Ayear
DGod help, TEhe beast in Ame
