Guitar Tab

*- The Prince -*

                *- By Metallica -*

          *- Originally performed by Diamond Head -*

            *- Transcribed by Fredrik Staaf -*



 I recently received the Diamond Head version of this song.

 It's actually quite good, but not as good as the Metallica version.
