Chords
I can't find any other chords or tab for this song online. I know SBL was a bit odd in places and wasn't
very well received, but there are still some awesome songs on it and this is one of my all-time Motörhead
favourites. I know I've not done it justice here, but it's a start.

[Verse 1]
E G E G E G E G Woke up dead, you know I woke up dead, give me time to get it through my head E G E G E G E E They hanged me by the neck, I heard the devil laugh, I was a nervous wreck, I was the first in line
[Chorus 1]
C#m C#m A A B C#m C#m F# G# Do you want to look right in the devil's face? You must have seen the ground where we upheld the law C#m C#m A A B C#m C#m F# G# I was a young man then, I was a young man then, spending time on the killing floor E G A A G E E G A A G E Do as you would want to be; joy of labour sets you free
