                           STAY CLEAN - Motorhead
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Written by: L. Kilmister/E. Clarke/P. Taylor
CD: "Overkill"        (1979, Bronze Records)
Guitarist: Eddie Clarke

Tabbed by: A. Drury   (zerofret)
Email: zerofret_ad@hotmail.com
Date: September 28, 2006       (Revised January 7, 2007)

Tuning Note: I've revised this tab to being written in Standard tuning so
that the listed chords will be in their familiar (Standard tuning) positions,
rather than shifted a fret (as they are in Eb tuning). It makes the tab
easier to read. But for playing, tune down a half step to Eb tuning
(Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb) to be in the same key as the recording.

INTRO:
(begins with 2 measures of drums)
