C#min Bmaj Asus2
I’ve got a taste for blood, leave the weak, leave the young
C#min Bmaj Asus2
I’ve got a taste for blood, I’m walking out without you
C#min Bmaj Asus2
You will kill, or be killed. It’s about progress
C#min Bmaj Asus2
I’ve got a taste for blood
Verse 2:
Play the “verse 1 riff” 4 times, but on the 4th time do not play the “intro riff” - go straight to the 8 Asus2 chords the way the first verse ended
Chorus 2:
Same as first chorus
Bridge:
Right after the end of the 2nd chorus Kele plays a regular Amaj chord that looks like this:

While Russell solos in the background
After a certain period of time (roughly 8 measures or so) Kele goes back to the chorus chords

Let the tension notes in parentheses ring, but make sure the non-parenthesized note is more prevalent
Notes:
- The notes in parentheses in the verse are optional bass notes. In the actual recording they are the root notes of the arpeggios but this
simplified transcription puts the root notes an octave up, making the progression easier to play.
- The chorus chords are very staccato, accented, and syncopated. Which means they are short, on and off the beat, and should sound
interesting. If you have a recording, or more importantly if you don’t, and are having trouble with the rhythm, straight 8th notes sound fine.
- Each chord change during the chorus anticipates its lyric a little bit. For instance the C#min comes a breath before "I’ve", the Bmaj
comes a breath before "taste", and so on.
- Last thing: I know the chords for the chorus move all over the neck, and could be easily played in just one place, but as far as I can tell
these are the actual chords being played. It’s difficult without a video to be completely sure, but it’s very close.
