This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

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.

Welp, I hope you guys like it. Took me a while, but a figure it's worth

it to keep all the Metalli-friends jamming. Oh, don't give me any crap

about not putting in the Rythem section under the solo... It's not perfect

but it's as close as care to come.... Hopefully, I'll be sending more

stuff your way soon.
