Metallica - Fade To Black Ver 5 guitar tab
Your rating:
Fade To Black
-------------
From "Ride the Lightning" by Metallica
I've tried to include as much information below as is given in the
original tablature. It might make it more difficult to understand but it's all
there if you want it. At the top of each section of tab is the chord for the
bar (bar lines included). I haven't included note lengths or rests. You'll have
to listen to the actual song and work them out for yourself. The bar lines
should give you an idea towards timing. The song's in 4/4 time, 116 bpm.
All tab markings are at the top of the tab. Markings used:
P - pull off.
H - hammer on.
T - tap - fret at note shown, tap at note in brackets.
.---. - sustained note.
sl - slide.
vibrato - vibrate string. (or use tremolo).
)\ - bend and release
/ \
) - string bend (usually full - f)
/
// - repeat previous beat (used for 1/16 notes)
'/, - repeat previous measure (bar)
x - rake - drag pick across strings shown from low to high

1st,2nd verses
w/Rhy. Fig. 2
Am C G Em
1. Life it seems will fade away, drifting further every day.
2. Things not what they used to be, missing one inside of me.
Am C G Em
1. Getting lost within myself, nothing matters, no one else.
2. Deathly lost, this can't be real, cannot stand this hell I feel.
W/Rhy. Fig 2 (1st 7 bars only)
Am C G Em
1. I have lost the will to live, simply nothing more to give.
2. Emptiness is filling me, to the point of agony.
Am C G
1. There is nothing more for me. Need the end to set__
2. Growing darkness taking dawn, I was me, but now__
