Author/Artist: Kilmster, Clarke, Taylor
Title: Stone dead forever
(as performed by Metallica)
Album: Garage Inc. and Hero of the day single
Transcribed by: Caer' Is (and the Unknown Transcriber)
Email: Caer_Is@Hotmail.com

This tab is bas(s)ed on another tab (transcriber unknown) I got from the
Encyclopedia Metallica's tabpage a long time ago. I was just starting on
bass back then, and I didn't use the tab for a long time. When I tried to
learn this song, I discovered the tab was all wrong (I don't want to upset
or insult the transcriber of the original tab, but most of it just didn't
sound right), and as it was the only tab I could find, I had to be a little
creative myself...
I used the original layout and just filled in the (hopefully) correct
notes...
This is my first tab of a complete song (of course I had a little help from
the original), so I can't guarantee this tab is 100% correct, but I think it
sounds good...

N.B.!
The slashes mean slides, but I'm not sure that's what Jason does. I don't
have a distortion pedal (yet) so I don't know how this will sound with
distortion. Instead of slides, you might as well use hammering or normal
playing... Just do what you think sounds best...
I didn't put in the rhythm in the chorus and the bridge/solo parts, just
figure it out yourself, the notes in the tab are just straight eights...

E-mail me if you discover any mistakes (and you probably will!), in my
English (I'm Dutch) and/or in the tab.


-STONE DEAD FOREVER-

Lyrics are way off. should be You think you see me, in the glass You think you hear me, better listen fast I think I see you, gone to seed Think your reason, is your guilt and greed You're out there on your own Your face is turned to stone What ever happened to your life? Stone dead forever You're a financial wizard, yeah, a top tycoon You're a sweet long lizard, with a silver spoon You know you've never had it, quite so good And you didn't know, that you even could Your time has come to own Your touch turned to gold What ever happened to your life? Stone dead forever It's been a long time, it's been a long long wait And you caught your fingers, in the pearly gates You better leave your number, and we'll call you You know your problem, ain't exactly new Your time has come today Your face has turned to hay What ever happened to your life? Stone dead forever Anyway, I don't really know what it means, I just know that it's freaking sweet. The last minute or so completely rocks.
