Epic The Musical - Monster Chords & Tabs

by Misc Musicals

[Version Description]
I tried my best to make sure this version is as accurate to the original as possible. I made the breakdown-rap part only one chord because I though it would sound closest to the song, but let me know if you'd like me to put in chords that will make it sound more melodic. I hope you enjoy, this is one of my favourite songs from the musical.

When the witch turns men to pigs to protect her nymphs
Is she going insane?

When a god comes down and makes a fleet drown

Does a soldier use a wooden horse to kill sleeping Trojans cause he is vile?

Or does he throw away his remorse and save more lives with guile
  C             Abmaj7                         Fm6/G#
If I became the monster, and threw that guilt away
                   Eb       
Would that make us stronger?
                          Bb  
Would it keep our foes at bay?
                Abmaj7                  Fm6/G#
If I became the monster to everyone but us
                     Cm        
And made sure we got home again
                          Bb
