Chords
by: The Mighty Metallica
All gtrs tune down 1/2 step
Note, in part of the solo, I placed the hammer ons and pull offs
above the staff to make reading easier. I also used lower case
and upper case for the same reason. There is no difference in
the meanings.

tail. So be it,Lyrics:
Liberty of death, what we so proudly hail.
Once you provoke her, rattling of her tail.
Never begins is, never but once engaged,
never surrenders, showing the fangs of rage.
Say, Don't tread on me.
Chorus
So be it, threaten no more.
To secure peace is to prepare for war.
So be it, settle the score.
Touch me again for the words that you will hear evermore.
Don't tread on me
Love it or leave it, she, with the deadly bite.
Quick is the blue tongue, forked as the lightning strike.
Shining with brightness, always on surveillance.
The eyes, they never close, emblem of vigilance.
Say, Don't tread on me.
Welp, I hope you guys like it. Took me a while, but a figure it's worth
it to keep all the Metalli-friends jamming. Oh, don't give me any crap
about not putting in the Rythem section under the solo... It's not perfect
but it's as close as care to come.... Hopefully, I'll be sending more
stuff your way soon.
