                                    METALLICA

                          CRASH COURSE IN BRAIN SURGERY

Words and music by: Raymond Phillips, John Burke Shelley and Anthony Bourge

From the Elektra recording: The $9.98 Garage Days ReRevisted, E.P.

Transcribed by Travis Fitch 

An excellent song, so I've tried to include as much information as possible
below (the guitar solo is missing, but I am working on that, I won't post it
for a while, but if you e-mail me on the above address, I could get it to
you within a day or 2 of recieving your message, might just motivate me a tad
bit more) The TAB might seem a little difficult to understand at first, but I
sugget that you print it out and read through a couple of times, just to get
a feel for the song and the way the TAB is written out (sorry if there are
any mistakes present, which knowing the way I type, there probably are).
You'll have to listen to the song again anyway, to get a feel for the timing,
anyway I've had enough for now, so any fixes, mistakes, comments et cetera,
don't be afraid to let me know

Enjoy
GaT..

The song is in 4/4 at around 185 - 190 bpm

"Drop D" tuning (low to high: D A D G B E)
