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)
Intro: E/////////D//Eb//
Verse:
E D/E
Sunrise, wrong side of another day

E////////D//Eb//
Verse:
E D/E
Brained out, total amnesia

Don't move I'll shut the door an kill the lights
E
If I can be wrong I must be right
(prechorus)

All good clean fun

Have another stick of gum

Solo break (built around the verse/prechorus/chorus pattern)
E/////////D//Eb//
E D/E
fourth day five day marathon

We're moving like a parallelogram

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

and bomber take off sound effects . . .
