Main Riff (Very Distorted) |
|
|
One of the most famous riffs ever, only tip here is to use your |
|
|
little finger for the E on the A string and to try to use it as |
|
|
much as possible. Strum this hard and heavy. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
G--------------Three Times. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
G-------------------Tail, play once. |
|
|
D-5---4---4-5-4-2---Repeat the whole thing twice then into |
|
|
A-5---4---4-5-4-2---the verse. |
|
|
|
|
|
Try to make it sound like a hammer on as much as possible |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
G------------------Play this three times but on the last one |
|
|
D-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-3--miss out the F5 and go onto the tail |
|
|
A-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-3--again. |
|
|
|
|
Say your Prayers little one, |
|
|
|
|
|
|
I Tuck you in warm within, |
|
|
|
Till the sandman he comes. |
|
|
Pre-Chorus- Not as heavy but pick fairly hard. |
|
|
After playing it many time it becomes habit and singing |
|
|
|
|
|
|
G-----2--------Play this four times. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Gripping your pillow tight. |
|
|
Chorus- Heavy fit the two notes in as quick as possible. |
|
|
The fill are subject to speculation, one of them is played on bass but they sound good and they fit in so why not play them? |

We’re off to never-never land. |
|
|
|
|
Repeat the whole thing without the intro and these lyrics. |
|
|
|
|
|
and they aren’t of Snow White. |
|
|
|
Gripping your pillow tight, |
|
|
|
|
|
We’re off to never-never land. |
|
|
|
Then half a bar of silence with drums then Hetfield says ’Heh heh’ |
|
|
or ’mother fucker yeah’ or something and the solo starts this is what Hetfield plays underneath. |

|
|
|
|
|
B-------------------Play this eight times. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Now I lay me down to sleep, |
|
|
(Now I lay me down to sleep), |
|
|
I pray the Lord my soul to keep, |
|
|
(Pray the Lord my soul to keep), |
|
|
And if I die before I wake, |
|
|
(If I die before I wake), |
|
|
I pray the Lord my soul to keep, |
|
|
(Pray the Lord my soul to keep. |
|
|
|

|
G-----2--------Play this eight times. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Hush little baby don’t say a word, |
|
|
And neve mind that noise you heard, |
|
|
it’s just the beasts under your, |
|
|
in your closet in your head. |
|
|
Then the chorus again but instead of ’take my hand’ it’s |
|
|
’grain of sand’ and not tail but the chorus again. |
|
|
That’s pretty much it there’s a lot to jam on for the outro |
|
|
and Metallica do various different things on it. |
|
|
Comments about this and questions of any sort will be regarded |
|
|
but any sons of bitches who write anti-Metallica hate-mail will |
|
|
all die and go to bad taste hell. If you are a beginner then try |
|
|
and learn the power chord names, |
|
|
|
(5 is another name for a power chord) it is very helpful. Good luck |
|
|
and learn well, practice is the only way to become good |
