Battery

            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)

   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

E5E5               C5C5
Smashing through the boundrys, lunacy has found me
       F5F5 F5 F#/Eb
Cannot stop the battery

Riff 3

With Fill 1

E5E5           C5C5
Pounding out agression, turned into obsession
       F5F5 F5 F#/Eb
Cannot stop the battery

Riff 3 (first 2 bars)

E5E5       B5B5   G5G5     F#/Eb
Cannot kill the family, battery has grounded me

Riff 3 (first 3 bars)|
           |
Bb5Bb5 F5F5 E5E5      |     Play this several
Bat-ter-y      |   times and then back to the next verse

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!! :)
