Motorhead
by Ian Kilmister Eddie Clarke Phil Taylor
performed by Motorhead

One of the definitive Motorhead tunes by Lemmy and the boiz- was shocked it wasn't already in the data base!
Tuning: Standard (on the album) (Eb if you want to play along with the live version)
(These are power chords so actually D5 Eb5 E5 F#5 and G5)
D X Eb X E X F# X G X
X X X X X
7 8 9 11 12
7 8 9 11 12
5 6 7 9 10
X X X X X
Note that Lemmy's bass follows the root note for all the chords but he does a
little riff on the F# (sorry but you bass players will have to suss that out- it's
based on the A string between the 10th and tweflth frets but I haven't quite gotten
it sufficently to put down what I definitively think it is)

the band continues to echo the "Motorhead" chorus for an outro adlibbing "yeah
