Metallica bass tabs for Blitzkrieg

Bass tabs with lyrics

Subject : BTAB: Metallica - Kill 'em all


The people who transcribed it :

Jeff Jacobson - Anesthesia - Pulling Teeth
Andy Aledort - Jump in the Fire
Steve Gorenberg - the rest

The only thing I've done is converting them to ascii.

I've put all note lengths below the measures, they are :
w - whole note
h - half note
q - quarter note
e - eigth note
s - sixteenth note
t - thirty-second note
l - long note ('fermate' sign)
x+y - play note with length x+y

/ - a couple of these mean you have to fill the length with
  1. eight notes     (1 slash)  or
  2. sixteenth notes   (2 slashes) or
  3. thirty-second notes (3 slashes)

R - in the tab denotes a rest.
x - an undefined or muted note.
[ 3 ] - a triplet

/ - slide up
/(X) - slide up to fret X, but don't pick X
\ - slide down
\(X) - slide down to fret X, but don't pick X
T - tap note
Harm - harmonic
A.H. - Artificial harmonic

inside bar :
p - pull off
h - hammer on
bx - bend string x notes up
bx r - bend string x notes up and release string

a note without a length indication, means a 'ghost' note (The little notes
that occur in sheet music sometimes).

cresc. - crescendo (Play louder and louder, 'fade in')

||-- --||
||-o o-|| - a repeat
||-o o-||

| X |

| % | - repeat previous bar

Lyrics :
 1. Let us have peace, let us have life
  Let us escape the cruel night
  Let us have time, let the sun shine
  Let us beware the deadly sign

 Pre-chorus & Chorus :
  The day is coming
  Armageddon's near
  Inferno coming
  Can we survive the blitzkrieg
  The blitzkrieg
  The blitzkrieg

 2. Save us from fate, save us from hate
  Save ourselves before it's too late
  Come to our need, hear our plea
  Save ourselves before the earth bleeds

 Pre-chorus & Chorus :
  The day is dawning
  The time is near
  Aliens coming
  Can we survive the blitzkrieg
