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)

Do what you will, I bring you the edge
I am the one to sever your head
I cut so deep, I can cut straight
It all depends on the moves you make

F#I         A     E                 B
I, I am the blade, I am the promise unmade

I, I am the knife, I bring death to your life
A           E   F#II         G            E
I, I am the axe, to stop you dead in your tracks

I, I am the sword, I bring the fear of the Lord

-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
