Hit the lights from Kill 'Em All
Metallica
tabbed by Rick Miller
I seen this on Olga, it really sucked, so here's my version done by memory,
i'm fairly sure that it's pretty accurate (I haven't done the solo, even if
I did I couldn't play it.)

Lyrics:
No life till leather
We are gonna kick some ass tonight
We got the metal madness
When our fans start screaming
It's right well alright
When we start to rock
We never want to stop again
Hit the lights
Hit the lights
Hit the lights
You know our fans are insane
We are gonna blow this place away
with volume higher
Than anything today the only way
When we start to rock
We never want to stop again
Hit the lights
Hit the lights
Hit the lights
With all our screaming
We are gonna rip right through your brain
We got the lethal power
It is causing you sweet pain Oh sweet pain
When we start to rock
We never want to stop again
Hit the lights
Hit the lights
Hit the lights
