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. 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
