                                 The Hammer

                                 Motorhead

This is an amazing song, the last track on the classic 'Spades album
(and one of my favourites).

Tune down to Eb (half a step)

x = pick slide  
/ 
/ = tremelo pick

Where it says 'loose' in the song structure, play this
muted in a 'laid back' style (listen to the song).
