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. Thunder and lightning. The gods take revenge
Senseless destruction
Victims of fury are cowardly now
Running for safety
Stabbing the harlot to pay for her sins
Leaving the virgin
Suicide running as if it were free
Ripping and tearing
Pre-chorus :
Oh! Through the mist and the madness
We're trying to get the message to you
Chorus :
Metal militia !
Metal militia !
Metal militia !
2. Chained and shadowed to be left behind
Nine and one thousand
Metal militia for your sacrifice
Iron-clad soldiers
Join or be conquered, the low of the land
What will befall you ?
The metallization of your inner soul
Twisting and turning
Pre-chorus
Chorus
Metal militia !
3. We are one as we all are the same
Fighting for one cause
Leather and metal are our uniforms
Protecting what we are
Joining together to take on the world
With our heavy metal
Spreading the message to everyone here
Come let yourself go
Pre-chorus
Chorus :
Metal militia ! (repeat & fade)
