         F#m                   Am  
I wear a hair shirt 'round my shoulder  
       F#m               Am  
Got a cold stew in my spoon  
         B  
And I'm falling on my head  
         E5  
Lifting feet of led  
                 D                   A  
Now it's got me baying at the moon  
           F#m              Am  
There's a race on for tomorrow  
              F#m                      Am  
I'm streching out for what might have been  
       B  
Gonna come out from the night  
       E5  
Get my second sight  
            D                       A  
Play rough, you know what I mean  
 
Chorus  
A                  
I'm going for the kill  
                    
I'm going tooth and nail  
                   D  
Up that dusty hill  
                    F#m      Am      F#m      Am  
On the rattlesnake trail         ...yea! the ratllesnake trail!!
