PRE-VERSE:

C      F      G      F
i want to be the minority

C      F      G      F
i don't need your authority

C      F      G      F
down with the moral majority

C      F      G      F
cause i want to be the minority


VERSE: 

C           G          F          G
i pledge allegiance to the underworld

C           G          F          G
one nation under dog of which i stand alone

C           G          F          G
a face in the crowd, a song against the mold

C           G          F          G
without a doubt, singled out, the only way i know


CHORUS:

C      F      G      F
i want to be the minority

C      F      G      F
i don't need your authority

C      F      G      F
down with the moral majority

C      F      G      F
cause i want to be the minority


POST-CHORUS: Pretty much the same as the Verse, but strummed harder and with distortion. 
The song moves to a more "heavy metal" feel.

A        E(a)       F(a)   C
Stepped out of the light

A        e       F   G
Like a secret crime (?)

A        E(a)       F(a)   C
Marching out of time (?)

A        e       F
To the tune I only know

G
The only way I know


PRE-CHORUS:

C           G          F          G
With the light of mine, lashing in the dark

C           G          F          G
Rising by the silence of a thousand broken hearts

C           G          F          G
For crying out loud, She's done good to me(?)

C           G          F          G
I've paid for all, fuck 'em all! You and your sides


CHORUS:

C      F      G      F
i want to be the minority

C      F      G      F
i don't need your authority

C      F      G      F
down with the moral majority

C      F      G      F
cause i want to be the minority


BRIDGE: Some accordian guy


PRE-CHORUS:

C           G          F          G
With the light of mine, lashing in the dark

C           G          F          G
Rising by the silence of a thousand broken hearts

C           G          F          G
For crying out loud, She's done good by me(?)

C           G          F          G
I've paid for all, fuck 'em all! You and your sides



CHORUS:

C      F      G      F
i want to be the minority

i don't need your authority

C      F      G      F
down with the moral majority
