METALLICA

CRASH COURSE IN BRAIN SURGERY

Words and music by: Raymond Phillips, John Burke Shelley and Anthony Bourge

From the Elektra recording: The $9.98 Garage Days ReRevisted, E.P.

An excellent song, so I`ve tried to include as much information as possible below (the guitar solo is missing, but I am working on that, I won`t post it for a while, but if you e-mail me on the above address, I could get it to you within a day or 2 of recieving your message, might just motivate me a tad bit more) The TAB might seem a little difficult to understand at first, but I sugget that you print it out and read through a couple of times, just to get a feel for the song and the way the TAB is written out (sorry if there are any mistakes present, which knowing the way I type, there probably are). You`ll have to listen to the song again anyway, to get a feel for the timing, anyway I`ve had enough for now, so any fixes, mistakes, comments et cetera, don`t be afraid to let me know

Enjoy GaT..
