METALLICA
"The New Song (unnamed)"- Live in Germany, 6/06'

tab by ~beetheb~

Got it as accurate as I could, honestly theres not very
 much complicated guitar work in it- besides the solo(!)
But there are a Hella lot of rhythm parts (but many are
based off each other....if that makes sense.)

This tab is based off the recent bootleg of Metallica
playing a new song in Germany, you should be able to get it at
www.intersandman.com (theres a link to it in the NEWS section,
thats how I heard it)

  The light       sets me free..."

Thats the main meat of the song, there are a few more rhythms
played under the first part of the solo, but
they're easy to figure out by listening, but thats pretty much
it. This song has a LOT lot lot of rhythm parts,
and I'm sure I missed one or two, but theres plenty
here to keep you busy.
