Metallica - Am I Evil?

(originally by Diamond Head)

[Verse 1]
A5 G5 Bb5 A5 G5
My mother was a witch, she was burned alive
A5 G5 Bb5 A5 G5
Thankless little bitch, for the tears I cried
A5 G5 Bb5 A5 G5
Take her down now, don’t want to see her face
A5 Bb5 G5
All blistered and burnt, can’t hide my disgrace

[Pre-Chorus]
D5 E5 F5 E5
Twenty-seven, everyone was nice
D5 E5 F5 E5
Got to see them make them pay the price
D5 E5 F5 E5
See their bodies out on the ice
D5 E5
Take my time

[Chorus]
G5 A5 Bb5 G5 A5
Am I evil? Yes I am
G5 A5 Bb5 A5 G5 Bb5 A5
Am I evil? I am man, yes I am

[Verse 2]
A5 G5 A5 Bb5 A5 G5 A5 Bb5
As I watched my mother die, I lost my head
A5 G5 A5 Bb5 A5 G5 A5 Bb5
Revenge now I sought, to break with my bread
G5 Bb5 A5 G5 A5 Bb5 A5
Taking no chances, you come with me
G5 A5 Bb5 A5 G5 A5
I’ll split you to the bone, help set you free

[Pre-Chorus]
D5 E5 F5 E5
Twenty-seven, everyone was nice
D5 E5 F5 E5
Got to see them make them pay the price
D5 E5 F5 E5
See their bodies out on the ice
D5 E5
Take my time

[Chorus]
G5 A5 Bb5 A5 G5 A5 Bb5 A5
Am I evil? Yes I am
G5 A5 G5 A5 Bb5 A5
Am I evil? I am man, yes I am

[Verse 3]
D5 D5
On with the action now, I’ll strip your pride
D5 D5
I’ll spread your blood around, I’ll see you writhe
D5 D5
Your face is scarred with steel, wounds deep and neat
D5 D5
Like a devil dancin’ before you, smells so sweet

[Chorus]
A5 G5 D5 A5 C5 G5
Am I evil? Yes I am
A5 G5 D5 A5 C5 G5
Am I evil? I am man,

[Verse 4]
D5 D5
I’ll make my residence, I’ll watch your fire
D5 D5
You can come with me, sweet desire
D5 D5
My face is long forgot, my face not my own
D5 D5
Sweet and timely whore, take me home

[Chorus]
A5 G5 D5 A5 C5 G5
Am I evil? Yes I am
A5 G5 D5 A5 E5 G5 A5
Am I evil? I am man, Go!

[Verse 5]
D5 D5
My soul is longing for, await my heir
D5 D5
Sent to avenge my mother, sweep myself
D5 D5
My face is long forgot, my face not my own
D5 D5
Sweet and timely whore, take me home

[Chorus]
A5 G5 D5 A5 C5 G5
Am I evil? Yes I am
A5 G5 D5 A5 C5 G5
Am I evil? I am man
A5 G5 D5 A5 C5 G5
Am I evil? Yes I fuckin’ am
A5 G5 D5 A5 C5 G5 E5
Am I evil? I am man, yeah…
