Def Leppard - Heat Street 1 Tabs

From the bootleg album "FIRST STRIKE"
            words and music by: Elliot, Clarke, Willis, Savage, Allen
 
Here's one that is not very common.  The First Strike album was illegally
released just after Pyromania.  It was made up of early demo tapes that were
remixed.  Leppard secured a court injunction against the album's sale citing
that the quality was not up to current Leppard standards.  I have it on tape
from a friend and this is the first track.  It's a cool song, I wish they had
done this on an album.  There are also two other otherwise unreleased songs on
this "album:"  See The Light, and Glad I'm Alive.
 
The timing of the riffs is quite syncopated so if you've never heard the song
before, you probably won't get it quite right just from this.  If you want the
timing, email me and I'll see what I can do.

What can I hear, who can I see
What's this I fear is following me

It's getting louder, he's coming nearer
I can't stand it I'm getting out of hear
