BATTERY by Metallica
From the album "Master of Puppets"
There's about half a dozen guitar parts on the intro where Jaymz
layered acoustics, steel strings, spanish guitars and god knows what else.
One acoustic plays riff 1 and the rest of the layered guitars play along
the lines of riff 2 (I Think)
Acoustic Riff 1

Weak are ripped and torn away
Lashing out the action, returning the reaction
Weak are ripped and torn away
Hipnotizing power, crushing all that cower
Battery is here to stay
With Fill 1
E5 C5
Smashing through the boundrys, lunacy has found me
F5 F5 F#/Eb
Cannot stop the battery
Riff 3
With Fill 1
E5 C5
Pounding out agression, turned into obsession
F5 F5 F#/Eb
Cannot stop the battery
Riff 3 (first 2 bars)
E5 B5 G5 F#/Eb
Cannot kill the family, battery has grounded me
Riff 3 (first 3 bars)|

Bb5 F5 E5 | Play this several
Bat-ter-y | times and then back to the next verse
Outro:
Repeat lots Last time

verses
Crushing all decievers, mashing non-believers
Never ending potency
Hungry violence seeker, feeding off the weaker
Breeding on insanity
Chorus
Circle of destruction, hammer comes crushing
Powerhouse of energy
Whipping up a fury, dominating flurry
We create the battery
Chorus

ok, first off theres only TWO guitars, not six you dumbass. ever heard of pedals? those things you press with your foot to make your guitar make different sounds? obviously not cuz there arent even six members in Metallica, THAT alone should tell you that they dont use six guitars. so if youre gonna post tabs sayin theres more guitars than band members, PLEASE go play chicken with a train first. thats not all that pissed me off about this tab, you put all but the chorus in tabs, the chorus you put in chords. WTF?! learn to tab buddy. idk who you are and i may be coming off as an *******, but in reality im not. i just wish people knew how to tab so i didnt have to look at half a million tabs just to find what im looking for.
