Bass Tab
Newsgroups: rec.music.makers.bass
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
🎸
Accuracy Rating: - Votes: -
/ - 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

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
