Verse

Brake between Verse and Chorus

For a "cleaner" sound in the Chorus you can move the
3rd power chord from E-7/A-9 to A-2/D-4:
 
G|------99-------99-|
D|-999--77--444--77-|
A|-777------222-----|
E|------------------|
 
Or simply D-9/G-11, as in the Verse:
 
G|------99--11|11|11|11-----99-|
D|-999--77---9|-9|-9|-9-----77-|
A|-777-------------------------|
E|-----------------------------|

Same notes also sound good tuned down 1/2 step with some o-drive. How I like to play Motorhead best. Thanks again.

Thanks for this, chief. Super helpful to get the power chords (after all, it's Lemmy on the bass).
