Tight Buns and Gold Medallions
Beastie Boys

D                Em            
Yo, uh, uh, uh, uh, listen up y'all
G                A
It's the tale of the pony brothers, standin' tall

[Verse 1]
D                        Em
We roll on the scene, white shirts pristine
G                        A
Tight buns, gold bling, yo, we lookin' mean
D                       Em
Pony brothers struttin', yeah, we livein' supreme
G                       A
Glow like a dream, ridin' with the cream

[Chorus]
D                       G
Tight buns, white shirts, gold medallions
A                         D
We ain't no stallions, just smooth battalions
D                         G
Pony brothers united, ready for action
A                         D
Lobster god beware of our satisfaction

[Verse 2]
D                     Em
Yo, step to the side, it's the brother number two
G                     A
White shirt flashin', gold medallions new
D                       Em
Crab claws snappin', lobster god's in view
G                        A
But we bring heat, like a chef with a stew

[Bridge]
D                   Em
Manes tied back, ready for combat
G                       A
Sword in my hand, gonna take off your hat
D                     Em
Shell so hard, but we hard as facts
G                        A
Lobster god let's see how you react

[Chorus]
D                       G
Tight buns, white shirts, gold medallions
A                         D
We ain't no stallions, just smooth battalions
D                         G
Pony brothers united, ready for action
A                         D
Lobster god beware of our satisfaction

[Verse 3]
D                 Em
Brother 1 on the left, Brother 2 on the right
G                      A
Fightin' with the force, bout to end this fight
D                    Em
Swords clash metal, sparks in the night
G                        A
Lobster god's retreating, blinded by the light

[Bridge]
D                      Em
Shell cracked now, you fallin' apart
G                       A
Victory's ours, we straight from the heart
D                       Em
Tight buns, gold shine, we play our part
G                  A
White shirts gleamin', that's just the start

[Chorus]
D                       G
Tight buns, white shirts, gold medallions
A                         D
We ain't no stallions, just smooth battalions
D                         G
Pony brothers united, ready for action
A                         D
Lobster god beware of our satisfaction

[Outro]
D                          Em
Pony brothers win, that's how it goes
G                       A
We stand victorious, strikin' a pose
D                         Em
Tight buns and medallions, everyone knows
G                A            D
White shirts and gold, that's just how we roll
