Metallica - Seek And Destroy guitar tab

Your rating:

This is "Seek & Destroy" by metallica
I took this from "Metallica Complete",so no credit due to me
only the effort of typing in the tab.

This is fairly easy (apart from the solo!!!!),So enjoy all you people
who worship this band,(who like me aren't good enough to work it out
for yourselves).or play it for that matter!!!!.
Cheers
        Roy White.

1st,2nd,3rd Verses
With Riff(c)
1.Scanning the scene in the city tonight.
  We're looking for you to start up a fight.
  There's an evil feeling in our brains,but it's nothing new.
  You know it drives us insane.

2.There is no escape and thats for sure.
  This is the end we won't take anymore.
  Say goodbye to the world you live in.
  You've always been taking,but now you're giving.(To pre Chorus)

3.Our brains are on fire with the feeling to kill.
  And it won't go away until our dreams are fulfilled,
  There is only one thing on our minds.
  Don't try running away 'cause you're the one we will find.(To pre Chorus)

Pre Chorus
Rhy.Fig.2   end Rhy.Fig.2
    (5)open            repeat Rhy.Fig.2 
 C5  A / / / C5 D5 C5
 Running   on our way. Hiding.  You will pay.  Dying one thousand deaths.

 Fill 1.                                (play this after "thousand deaths")
