Hello! Today I'll show you how I play Eating Simon by Hands Off Gretel. Maybe this is not the "official way"
to play it, sorry about that. I strongly suggest you to buy their album "Burn The Beauty Queen" on their
website.
ALL THE CHORDS ARE PLAYED IN POWER CHORDS

DO IT OVER AND OVER AGAIN UNTIL THERE ARE CHORDS.
For the chords in the verse and the chorus, it's basically the same rhythm
as the intro but played with chords.
[Verse]
E G F# A Bb

I have a game for us

[Verse]
E G F# A Bb
As I feel him go down
E G F# A Bb
Railed in spit I watch him drown
E G F# A Bb
He begged and begged to play with me
E G F# F E
Swallowing his scream
[Chorus]
E G F# A Bb
Down!

He goes down!

[Bridge]
E G F# F E G F# F E
Take him in my body sheltered
E G F# F A Bb
Hold him in this heart of mine
E G F# F E G F# F E
Deeper than I've ever felt
E G F# F A Bb
A man that's made of just my size
[Play the intro riff for this part]
E G F# A Bb
And I know that he stinks
E G F# A Bb
Roll him in my fingers by habit

He begged and begged to play with me
E G F# F E
Now I miss his little screams
E G F# F E
E G F# F E
E G F# F A Bb (x2)
