Godzilla by Blue Oyster Cult
This is just the chord progression for the song, sorry no solos, but there are other
that have the solo parts, but most of the other tabs don’t have the correct chord
We used to play this "back in the day" and the chords work when playing with the
These older "Metal" bands used barre chords for most of their stuff so your best bet is to
them, and the lower the octave the better; you'll get a deeper, grittier sound. It's
really late and the tabs don't paste well from my version of Word, so if there's any
please note! Thanks and enjoy!
