Battery (tab) — Metallica

From: Clifford Veighey <[email protected]>

BATTERY by Metallica From the album "Master of Puppets"

There`s about half a dozen guitar parts on the intro where Jaymz layered acoustics, steel strings, spanish guitars and god knows what else. One acoustic plays riff 1 and the rest of the layered guitars play along the lines of riff 2 (I Think)

Acoustic Riff 1

Acoustic Riff 2

Acoustic Riff 2b

Start with Acoustic Riff 1 once and then while that keeps playing Gtr II plays

Riff 2 Riff 2b Riff2 Riff2

Then the electrics come crashing in:-

While 2 other electrics play Riffs 2 and 2b This continues for several bars and then

Verse

Riff 3 Bb5 A5 Em F#/Eb

Play this twice but on the second time at the % play this

Then Fill 1 and into the verse

Fill 1 E5 G5 A5 F5 F5 F#/Eb??

Lashing out the action Returning the reaction

Weak are ripped and torn away

Lashing out the action, returning the reaction Weak are ripped and torn away Hipnotizing power, crushing all that cower Battery is here to stay

With Fill 1

Smashing through the boundrys, lunacy has found me Cannot stop the battery

With Fill 1

Pounding out agression, turned into obsession Cannot stop the battery

Riff 3 (first 2 bars)

Cannot kill the family, battery has grounded me

Riff 3 (first 3 bars)| | Bb5 F5 E5 | Play this several Bat-ter-y | times and then back to the next verse

Repeat lots Last time

verses

Crushing all decievers, mashing non-believers Never ending potency Hungry violence seeker, feeding off the weaker Breeding on insanity

Chorus

Circle of destruction, hammer comes crushing Powerhouse of energy Whipping up a fury, dominating flurry We create the battery

Chorus

I think this is pretty close. I`m not sure about the names of the funny chords though (marked ??) I`m not too hot on theory!! :)
