Don't Tred On Me
----------------
All gtrs tune down 1/2 step
Tablature Explanation
p.m. - palm muting
^ - bend, above the staff is the amount of bend
F - full step 1/2 - half step 2 - two steps...
tr~~~- trill between note and note in paranthesis
H - Hammer on
P - Pull off
Note, in part of the solo, i placed the Hammer ons and pull offs
above the staff to make reading easier. I also used lower case
and upper case for the same reason. There is no difference in
the meanings.

tail. So be it,
Lyrics:
Liberty of death, what we so proudly hail.
Once you provoke her, rattling of her tail.
Never begins is, never but once engaged,
never surrenders, showing the fangs of rage.
Say, Don't tread on me.
Chorus
So be it, threaten no more.
To secure peace is to prepare for war.
So be it, settle the score.
Touch me again for the words that you will hear evermore.
Don't tread on me
Love it or leave it, she, with the deadly bite.
Quick is the blue tongue, forked as the lightning strike.
Shining with brightness, always on surveillance.
The eyes, they never close, emblem of vigilance.
Say, Don't tread on me.
