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 bar |-----| |-----| Have fun, Wilbert Pol ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- HIT THE LIGHTS -------------- intro 144 bpm 4/4 2/4 4/4 |---|---------|-----|--------|-----| |---|---------|-----|--------|-----| |-7-|-7-7-7-7-|-7-7-|-7------|-----| |-0-|-0-0-0-0-|-0-0-|-0------|-2---| l q q q q q q l l / / / / |---------------------------------------------|-------|| |---------------------------------------------|-------|| |-2-0-2-0---2-0-2-4-4-4-2-4-4-4-4-2-0-0-------|---R---|| |---------2-----------------------------2-----|-------|| t t t t s t t t t t t t t t t t t t t l 160 bpm fig.1 | 4 |------|------|------|------|-------------------------| |-----|---R--|---R--|---R--|---R--|-------------------------| |-----|-0----|-0----|-0----|-0----|-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-3-0-5-0-3-| | |------|------|------|------|-------------------------| e h.. e h.. e h.. e h.. e s s s s s s e s e s e |---------------------------|-------------------------| |---------------7-5---5-----|-------------------------| |-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-----7---6-7-|-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-3-0-5-0-3-| |---------------------------|-------------------------| e s s s s s s s s s e s e e s s s s s s e s e s e Verse 1 end fig.1 fig.2 end fig.2 |---------------------------||-----------------|---------------| |---------------------------||-----------------|---------------| |-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-1-2-3-3-4-||-5-5-7-----------|-5-5-5-3--2----| |---------------------------||-------3-3-3-3-0-|-------------2-| e s s s s s s s s s e s e e q e e s e s e e q e e. e. e play fig.1, fig.2, first two bars of fig.1 Chorus fig.3 7/8 end fig.3 |---------------------|-------------||---------------|---------------| |---------------------|-------------||---------------|---------------| |---7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-|-------3-2---||---R-------R---|-----R---3-----| |-0-------------------|-3-2-3-----3-||-5---5-3-5---5-|-3-5---5----3--| e e s s e e s e s e q q q q q q e e q s s e q s s e q e. e.

No life 'till leather We're gonna kick some ass tonight Got the metal madness When our fans start screamin' it's right, Well alright Yeah When we start to rock we never, will stop again Hit the lights Hit the lights Hit the lights 2. Know our fans are insane We're gonna blow this place away With volume higher Than anything today. The only way When we start to rock we never, will stop again Hit the lights Hit the lights Hit the lights 3. With all out screamin' We're gonna rip right through your brain We got the lethal power It's causin' you sweet pain, Oh, sweet pain When we start to rock we never, will stop again Hit the lights Hit the lights Hit the lights Hit the lights
