"The God That Failed"
		      by Metallica
		   -=The Black Album=-
 	     Tabbed by Cherry Lane Music Company
                 Transcribed by Robert Mills
	           Outlawtorn@peoplepc.com


Legal Note: I dont care whos site this is on as long
as its being seen and i get credit.

  This is my second tab and i really didn't wanna do
it, but alotta people suck at tabbing and it pisses
me off when some one butchers a metallica song,
especially a good one such as this. For the most
part this is perfect because i had the book but i
lost it. So this is from memory.

Tuning: Down a half step.
Listen for sonf for timeing


-=Intro: (Alright, here James plays this first riff
	  then Kirk the second. Then they switch)

Lyrics\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||////////////////////
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pride you took
pride you feel
pride that you felt when you'd kneel

not the word
not the love
not what you thought from above

it feeds
it grows
it clouds all that you will know
deceit
deceive
decide just what you believe

I see faith in your eyes
never your hear the discouraging lies
I hear faith in your cries
broken is the promise, betrayal
the healing hand held back by the deepened nail

follow the god that failed

find your peace
find your say
find the smooth road in your way

trust you gave
a child to save
left you cold and him in grave

it feeds
it grows
it clouds all that you will know
deceit
deceive
decide just what you believe

I see faith in your eyes
never you hear the discouraging lies
I hear faith in your cries
broken is the promise, betrayal
the healing hand held back by the deepened nail

follow the god that failed

I see faith in your eyes
broken is the promise, betrayal
the healing hand held back by the deepened nail

follow the god that failed

pride you took
pride you feel
pride that you felt when you'd kneel

trust you gave
a child to save
left you cold and him in grave

I see faith in your eyes
never you hear the discouraging lies
I hear faith in your cries
broken is the promise, betrayal
the healing hand held back by deepened nail

follow the god that failed
