Eb-----*|- Bb-----*|- Gb-7\--*|- Db-7\--*|- Ab-5\--*|- Eb-----*|- Full Lyrics : Here I come Stand up and plant your feet Listen I'm letting off steam Now throw your hands in the air Let it loose I don't fuckin care (Solo: Poland) Rattle head A dose of metal you need To band your head til you bleed It's time for snapping some neck Slashing, thrashing to megadeth (Solo: Poland) Rattle head You, your head is pounding with pain Winning, sinning, beginning Feeding, the needing for bleeding Bashing, smashing, crashing Frying, anhilealating you! (Solo: Poland) There's someone back in the shadows You feel though you can't see his eyes He'll bash your head if you cross him Ain't quite your average guy Don't wear no leather to "fittin" Don't wear no spikes to be "cool" Don't want no woman beside him Just make it fast, loud and rude Rattle head (Solo: Mustaine) I'm a rattle head Rattle your goddamn head!
