Guitar Chords & Lyrics for Terminal Preppie by Dead Kennedys in the key of E

Level: Intermediate Decade: 1980s Genre: Punk Theme: Social / Rebellion Mood: Energetic / Aggressive View Lyrics Youtube 
This Song Has Many Quick Changes Between G And Bb, And Between Bb And C. Here's A Word Of Advice:
Use Barre Chords For The Entire Song. Whenever Your Index Finger Is Barring The Third Fret For The G
Or C Chords, You Can Quickly Play A "Small" Bb Chord By Lifting Your Other Fingers, Leaving Your Index Finger
Down On The Third Fret, And Striking Only The D, G, And B Strings (Which Form, When Pressed Down At The
Third Fret, A Bb Triad). The Same Trick Applies For The A, C, And D Chords At The End Of The Song, But
Shifted Up To The Fifth Fret.
