ARTIST: HAWKWIND
SONG: MOTORHEAD (this is the song - NOT THE BAND!)
WRITTEN BY: LEMMY KILMISTER
TABBED BY: JT
TUNING: TUNE DOWN 1/2 STEP - Eb-Ab-Db-Gb
This is the last song written by Lemmy for his old band.
It is of course what he named his next band. I know that this song
is on the Hawkwind CD titled "Golden Void". Hawkwind CD's are often
hard to find but it is worth searching out because this is a kick-ass
tune. It's a little harder-edged than most of the Hawkwind repertoire.
I don't know how close this is to the Motorhead version of the song,
but it should be helpful in figuring that one out too.
I'm pretty sure I have all the parts down, but I might have missed some
of the subtleties. As always, you are free to alter it and play the
song the way you want to. I don't think Lemmy would mind, would he?
Set your metronome/drummer/drum machine to about 160.
(#) - tied note
\ - slide down

The line-up with Lemmy was probably the best. We need more Hawk-Tabs!
