Metallica - Sad But True Chords & Tabs

Band: Metallica
Song: Sad But True
Album: Metallica (1991)
Bassist: Jason Newsted
Tuning: D tuning

Note:
I made this tab based on the bass master track of the song, so you can be
completely sure that this tab is 100% correct. 

You can hear the bass master track here:

Also note that during the pull-offs part and the outro there is another 
bass track with distortion over the clean track, here is what the bass
with distortion plays:
