Here's the song:

INTRO

RIFF A x 8

RIFF B x 4

RIFF B x 4
 Late at night all systems go
 You have come to see the show
 We do our best You're the rest
 You make it real you know
 There is a feeling deep inside
 That drives you fuckin' mad
 A feeling of a hammerhead
 You need it oh so bad

RIFF C x 3
    Adrenalin starts to flow
    You're thrashing all around
    Acting like a maniac

    WHIPLASH

RIFF A x 4

RIFF B x 4
 Bang your head against the stage
 Like you never did before
 Make it ring Make it bleed
 Make it really sore
 In a frenzied madness
 with your leather and your spikes
 Heads are bobbing all around
 It is hot as hell tonight

RIFF C x 3
    Adrenalin starts to flow
    You're thrashing all around
    Acting like a maniac

    WHIPLASH

RIFF A x 4
 
RIFF B x 4
 Here on the stage the Marshal noise
 is piercing through your ears
 It kicks your ass kick your face
 Exploding feeling nears
 Now is the time to let it rip
 To let it fuckin' loose
 We are gathered here to maim and kill
 Cause this is what we choose

RIFF C x 3
    Adrenalin starts to flow
    You're thrashing all around
    Acting like a maniac

    WHIPLASH

RIFF D

RIFF E x 24 (last 16 with solo)

E5 (VII fret)

RIFF A x 4 (with solo)

RIFF B x 4
 The show is through the metal is gone
 It is time to hit the road
 Another town Another gig
 Again we will explode
 Hotel rooms and motorways
 Life out here is raw
 But we will never stop
 We will never quit
 cause we are Metallica

RIFF C x 3
    Adrenalin starts to flow
    You're thrashing all around
    Acting like a maniac

RIFF C x 1

RIFF F x 1
