                      BEAT MY GUEST (Adam Ant)

Recorded 1981: B-Side release of "Stand & Deliver"
               Also found on the Adam Ant compilations
               "B-Side Babies" & "Antics In The Forbidden Zone".

I simply used power chords when transcribing this, however,
I'm sure full chords will work just as well!
