Metallica - Blackened2 guitar tab
Date: Mon, 29 Dec 1997 18:15:05 -0500 From: "Jeffrey J. Davis"To: guitar@olga.net Subject: TAB: Blackened by Metallica Blackened by Metallica Transcription by Jeff Davis (4th revision) Notation: . - palm mute h - hammer on p - pull off ! - I used these to glue the dots to the page. Huh? (just ignore them). s/ - slide up these are used for normal s and ghost slides \ - slide down In general I tried to keep one dash '-' equal to a thirty-second note. Thus, |-0---0---0---0--- are eight notes and |-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0- are sixteenth notes. E||-- -|| B||-- -|| G||*- These mark the beginning and the *|| D||*- end of a section to be repeated. *|| A||-- -|| E||-- _|| --------|-------- --------|-------- --------|-3------ --------|-1------ ---1---^|(1)----- <--- this means the 1 should ring out in to the --------|-------- next measure while the 1 and 3 are played My transcription strictly notates the rhythm guitar for this song. The intro and solo are tabbed below my transcription. They were tabbed below by Matt Holliman bu345@cleveland.Freenet.Edu) and Vassilis Tzerpos (bpatr@theseas.ntua.gr) respectively. (addendum: In my second revision I tabbed my own version of the harmonies in the beginning of the solo.

Mother Earth Never a rebirth Evolution's end Never will it mend Never Fire To begin whipping dance of the dead Blackened is the end To begin whipping dance of the dead Color of our world Blackened Blistering of Earth Terminate its worth Deadly Nicotine Kills what might have been Callous frigid chill Nothing left to kill Never seen before Breathing nevermore Never Fire To begin whipping dance of the dead Blackened is the end To begin whipping dance of the dead Color of our world Blackened Blackened Opposition Contradiction Premonition Compromise Agitation Violation Mutilation Planet Dies Darkest Color Blistered Earth True death of life Termination Expiration Cancellation Human Race Expectation Liberation Population Lay to waste See our Mother Put to death See our Mother die. Smouldering decay Take her breath away Millions of our years In minutes disappears Darkening in vain Decadence remains All is said and done Never is the sun Never Fire To begin whipping dance of the dead Blackened is the end To begin whipping dance of the dead Fire Is the outcome of hypocrisy Darkest potency In the exit of humanity Color our world Blackened Blackened
