Im Not Your Stepping Stone To my knowledge, the original song was written an performed by the Monkees (of "Hey Hey We're the Monkees!" fame) and Minor Threat picked up the song for a cover version. (amazing how much mileage the song got) My friend typed in the lyrics for Stepping Stones about a year back. This is actually from the version done by the the Monkees, but you will find that the Minor Threat version is very similar (Just use more distortion and scream the lyrics :-) ************ The Lyrics ***************** I I I I I'm not your stepping stone You're trying to make your mark in society Using all the tricks that you used on me You're reading all them high fashion magazines The cloths you're wearing lately causing public scenes I said I I I I I'm not your stepping stone I I I I I'm not your stepping stone Not your stepping stone Not your stepping stone When I first met you girl, you didn't have no shoes But now your walkin' 'round like your front page news You've been awful careful about the friends you choose But You woun't find my name in your book of who's who - fade ********** The Chords ***************** Disclaimer: I don't have the recording or my guitar at the terminal with me, and my memory isn't flawless The chords for this are fairly simple, making this a good song for a beginning band. The basic pattern is: E E G G A A C C I would do this with power chords, especially for the Minor Threat version i.e.: ---------------------------- ---------------------------- --------------2--2--5--5---- --2--2--5--5--2--2--5--5---- --2--2--5--5--0--0--3--3---- --0--0--3--3---------------- There is another section later on with this part repeated: E E E G A G --notes q e e q e e --rhythm If someone wants to clean up what I've done and match it to the lyrics , please feel free. Anyhow, have fun with it! Any mistakes will just add character. ************End***********************
