Beat My Guest

                      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!
