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,

Lyrics :
1. My mother was a witch, she was burned alive
Thankless little bitch for the tears I cried
Take her down now, don't want to see her face
All blistered and burnt, can't hide my disgrace
Pre-chorus :
Twenty-seven, ev'ry one was nice
Gotta see 'em, make 'em pay their price
See their bodies out on the ice
Take my time
Chorus :
Am I evil ?
Yes, I am
Am I evil ?
I am man, Yes, I am
2. As I watched my mother die, I lost my head
Revenge now I sought to break with my bread
Takin' no chances, you come with me
I'll split you to the bone, help set you free
Pre-chorus
Chorus
Bridge :
3. On with the action now, I'll strip your pride
I'll spread your blood around, I'll see you ride
Your face is scarred with steel, wounds deep and neat
Like a double dozen before ya, smells so sweet
Chorus II :
Am I evil ?
Yes, I am
Am I evil ?
I am man
4. I'll take my residence, I'll watch your fire
You can come with me, sweet desire
My face is long forgot, my face not my own
Sweet and timely whore, take me home
Chorus II
5. My soul is longing for, await my heir
Sent to avenge my mother, sleep myself
My face is long forgot, my face not my own
Sweet and timely whore, take me home
Chorus II
Am I evil ?
Yes, I fuckin' am
Am I evil ?
I am man
