I Am The Sword
Motorhead
A modern Motorhead classic from the album Bastards.
This should actually be a tab, but I can't be bothered to tab
out the exact rhythm for the chorus.
Tune down to Eb/D# (half a step)

-Verse3-
Centuries pass, dust in the wind
I shall remain, shining in sin
The metal I am, the iron you feel
The song of the dead, the chorus of steel
-Chorus3-
I, I am the blade, I break the oath that you made
I, I am the mace, I am the blow in the face
I, I am the axe, to cut down heroes like rats
I, I am the sword, I do the work of the Lord
DA DA DA E (fade to end- play at least 12 times)
