Horrible Histories - 'Literally' Guitar Cover (Viking Song)

I literally posted a comment on the original vid for this song asking if people wanted me to literally do a guitar cover, and I got a great response, so here it is! It's by no means perfect, but it was a lot of fun to make, literally! :)

Guitar chords:
In the verses use bar chords with a clean sound (just use a bit of reverb if possible), in the choruses use power chords with metal distortion.

VERSE 1
G
Was the summer of 793, when we sailed across the great North Sea
C
Comets crossed the skies at night, must've known something wasn't right
G
We arrived upon your English shores, and you offered friendship but we wanted more
C___________D
Yeah so much more

G____________D______________C
We're tearing up this place tonight... LITERALLY
G_____________________D_________C
We're gonna set this sleepy town alight... LITERALLY
G ________________D__________________ E
We'll kill and steal and burn and drink, cause us Vikings don't care
(short guitar melody - tutorial coming soon)
what you think
Whoa whoa

Verse 2 -- See verse 1
Chorus -- Repeat previous chorus

Solo -- I'm not too experienced with writing tab, so I'm gonna create a video tutorial for the solo and for all of the small lead licks asap. Subscribe to be notified when I upload the tutorial.

KEY CHANGE
A _______________E___________D
We're tearing up this place tonight... LITERALLY
A_____________________E_________D
We're gonna set this sleepy town alight... LITERALLY
A_______________E________________F#
We'll take everything that you own and get back on our ship and
(guitar melody -- tutorial coming soon)
go back home,
(guitar melody continues until end of song)
Whoa whoa,
We're going home,
Whoa whoa
(etc)

Comment, rate, tell your mates, literally spread the word!

Disclaimer: I literally don't own the song or the show (Horrible Histories is a BBC show owned by them) and I'm not making any money off this video. Rock on!
