I really cant see why people think that new Metallica
songs are bad, this one is a great song, and i'll be tabbing
the rest of Load and Reload very soon. As always ive got
the measures and bars in crazy positions, but its all right.
If anybody has any corrections/comments feel free to email me.
Also if anyone wants a Metallica song tabbed and they cant find it,
contact me and ill try to do it for you.
The tuning is all strings down 1/2 step.
Eb, Ab, Db, Gb, Bb, Eb.
(Intro) James
