Beat Of My Drum is the debut solo single from Nicola Roberts of Girls Aloud.
These chords are of a different key to the original, but they are easy to transpose to
whatever key you like.

INTRO: A
[Am]Once upon a time I pressed rewind
Two left feet, I had no beat
Baby in the corner learning quick
Keep up, keep up, keep up
[Am]Graduation take a bow
See how strong you've made me now
Two steppin' all over me, then cha cha cha cha
I'm in!
[Dm]Oohh don't it make your [Em]heart go wow
[Dm]Oohh how I've turned thi[Em]s whole thing round
(Chorus)
[A]L O [C] V [G]E
[D]Dance to the beat of my drum
[G]Dance to the beat of my drum
[A]L O [C] V [G]E
[D]Dance to the beat of my drum
[G]Dance to the beat of my drum
[A]
[Am]Leader of the pack get on that track
Swing your back and don't look back
Captain attending, too much to handle
Too hot, the pan goes pop
[Am]Blow your trumpet like you do
I put on my marchin' boots
I know we can work it out
Let's step into the groove
[Dm]Oohh don't it make your [Em]heart go wow
[Dm]Oohh how I've turned thi[Em]s whole thing round
(Chorus)
[A]L O [C] V [G]E
[D]Dance to the beat of my drum
[G]Dance to the beat of my drum
[A]L O [C] V [G]E
[D]Dance to the beat of my drum
[G]Dance to the beat of my drum

After this there is a big breakdown in the original, but I prefer to repeat the
instrumental to the chorus without singing twice, and then end it on an A.
