This is a great track to learn for a beginner, the chords are the same all the way through but the timing
in the Chorus is different to the timing in the verses.
This version is a bonus track on the overkill CD but I think any other versions will be very similar.
I just can't hear what he sings in the last verse (Lemmy, you really shouldn't sing with your mouth full),
so I'll leave it for you to work out
