Wasting My Hate by MetallicA
From the album LOAD
Well I think it is about time there were some decent load tabs
on the internet, and there are never enough bass tabs. So here's my
contribution, and by the way if anyone wants any KILL 'EM ALL, PUPPETS, or
LOAD bass tabs just e-mail me with the request.
Key:
~~~~ play the note vibrato
X Ghost note\ muffled string
xHy play the first note (x) then hammer on to the note after (y)
yPx Pull off, as above but other way round
/// slide up
\\\ slide down
|==| (on 2 lines with a number above) rest for that no. bars
Harm...| play harmonics on the notes beneath this

Oh yeah I almost forgot the song is played tuned down half a step
as in Eb,Ab,Db,Gb. Also I will put the guitar chords above the tab. All
the vocals will be at the end but I will put the ocaisional word above the tab.

The Lyrics
1.Ain't gonna waste my hate,
Ain't gonna waste my hate on you.
I think I'll keep it for myself.
Ain't gonna give no more.
Ain't got the time to help you score.
I think it's time you pleased yourself,
Yourself. (to chorus)
2.Think you're worthy now?
You think enough to even raise the brow
And to laugh and tip that two-pronged crown?
Well, I see my hands, I see my feet.
I feel that blood that pumps in beat.
But where the hell's my mind goin' now?
Dead gone now. (to chorus)
3.Ain't gonna waste our hate.
But I'm so greedy when they say,
"Better to give than to receive."
Ain't gonna waste my hate, no no.
Ain't got time to waste my hate on you.
I think I'll keep it for myself,
For myself. (to chorus)
Chorus: Good day, how do, and i send a smile to you.
Don't waste, don't waste your breath, and I won't waste my hate on you.
Waste my hate on you.
Well I guess that's just about it. I think should briefly say
something about that order. After playing the chorus for the first time
play the first ending, then go back and play the second verse (from repeat sign)
then continue onto the chorus then miss out the first ending and play the
second ending. After the second ending carry on playing until you get to
'D.S. al CODA'. When you get there go back to the % sign. Then play through
to 'to CODA' where then you skip to 'CODA' and then finish the song.
Well that is really it this time. I hope that it's all fairly clear.
