Wherever I May Roam by Metallica: Guitar, Bass & Songwriting Insights

"Wherever I May Roam" by Metallica, from their 1991 self-titled album, features a distinctive main riff played by James Hetfield on a down-tuned guitar. The song showcases Hetfield's aggressive rhythm playing and Kirk Hammett's melodic soloing, using a wah-wah pedal for added texture. The track's lyrics were inspired by the band's extensive touring lifestyle, reflecting themes of independence and wanderlust. Bob Rock's production on the album helped Metallica achieve a more polished sound, propelling them to mainstream success.

E5                           F5
...And the road becomes my bride
F5                           E5
...And the road becomes my bride
                             Bb5
I have stripped of all but pride
                      A5
So in her I do confider
                         Bb5
And she keeps me satisfied
                  E5
Gives me all I need
                               Bb5
...And with dust in throat I crave
                        G5
Only knowledge will I save
                          Bb5

Anywhere I roam

I ask no one
