Blackened by Metallica
Transcription by Jeff Davis  (4th revision)

Notation:
.  - palm mute
h  - hammer on
p  - pull off
!  - I used these to glue the dots to the page. Huh? (just ignore them).
s/  - slide up           these are used for normal
s                         and ghost slides
\  - slide down

In general I tried to keep one dash '-' equal to a thirty-second note.
Thus,
|-0---0---0---0---   are eight notes and

|-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-   are sixteenth notes.

  --------|-3------
  --------|-1------
  ---1---^|(1)-----  <--- this means the 1 should ring out in to the
  --------|--------       next measure while the 1 and 3 are played

My transcription strictly notates the rhythm guitar for this song.
The intro and solo are tabbed below my transcription.
They were tabbed below by Matt Holliman [email protected]) and

Vassilis Tzerpos ([email protected]) respectively.
(addendum: In my second revision I tabbed my own version of
                the harmonies in the beginning of the solo.

Lyrics

Blackened.....
Winter it ......
throwing all.....
into ......

Death of Mother...
Never a .....
Evolution's.......
Never will......

Never

  Fire
  To begin whipping ......
  Blackened .........
  To begin whipping ......
  Color of our .......

Blistering ....
Terminate ......
Deadly ......
Kills what .......

Callous .....
Nothing left .....
Never seen .....
Breathing ......

Never

  Fire
  To begin whipping ......
  Blackened .......
  To begin whipping .......
  Color of our ......

                     Blackened

Opposition  Contradiction  ......
Agitation   Violation      .....
    Darkest ....
    Blistered .....
    True death .......

Termination  Expiration  ....
Expectation  Liberation  .....
    See our .....
    Put to .....
    See our .....

Smouldering ...
Take her ......
Millions ......
In minutes......

Darkening .....
Decadence ....
All is ......
Never is ....

Never

  Fire
  To begin whipping .......
  Blackened is......
  To begin whipping ........
  Fire
  Is the outcome .....
  Darkest potency
  In the exit ......
  Color our world .....

                  Blackened
