Anyway, the bass part is pretty simple. Just follow along with the acoustic guitar part. This songs kicks all ass, by the way, one of the best Metallica has ever made.

Through constant pain disgrace,the young boy learns their rules. With time the child draws in this whipping boy done wrong. Deprived of all his thoughts,the young man struggles on and on. He knows a vow unto his own that never from this day his will they'll take away CHORUS: What I've felt, what I've known never shined through in what I've shown. Never be. Never see. Won't see what might have been. What I've felt, what I've known,never shined through in what I've shown. Never free. Never me. So I dub thee unforgiven. VERSE 2: They dedicate their lives to running all of his He tries to please them all, this bitter man he is Throughout the life the same, he's battled constantly This fight he cannot win. A tired man they see no longer cares. The old man then prepares to die regretfully That old man here is me. happy bassing... ___ \ony - "and throughout the day, mankind played with grenades" -Pantera
