Newsgroups: rec.music.makers.bass Subject: BTAB: Metallica - Kill 'em all From: wfpol@cs.ruu.nl (Wilbert Pol) 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 | |-----| - X bar rest |-----| | | |-----| | % | - repeat previous

Lyrics : 1. By the last breath the four winds blow Better raise your ears The sound of hooves knock at your door Lock up your wife and children now It's time to wield the blade For now you've got some company Chorus : Horsemen are drawing nearer On leather steeds they ride They've come to take your life On through the dead of night with the Four Horsemen ride or choose your fate and die ! 2. You've been dying since the day you've been born You know it's all been planned The quartet of deliverance rides A sinner once, a sinner twice No need for confession now 'Cause now you've got the fight of your life Chorus Bridge : Time has taken it's toll on you The lines that crack your face Famine, your body it has torn through Withered in ev'ry place Pestilence, for what you had to endure For what you have put others through Death, deliv'rance for you for sure Now there's nothing you can do 3. So gather round young warriors now And saddle up your steeds Killing scores with demon swords Now is the death of doers of wrong Swing the judgment hammer down Safely inside armor, blood, guts and sweat Chorus
