A few notes about the video!

I used to play the intro with a different fingering but after looking at some live videos, it seems like Hetfield plays it that way.  Pretty cool.  Because they want the Minor 3rd to ring out on the A note then giving a Minor 7th tone.  

The Wah E Minor fill at the start of the tune.  I have seen tabbed out different ways.  I checked out Metallica Live on Howard Stern.  Hammett is playing it in the position that I tabbed out.  

Many tabs have the verse accent from the G5 to F#5 as a slide.  But it doesn't sound like they are sliding that part at all.  

I have tabbed out 3 different ways of playing the chorus.  The first one, where Hetfield lets the low E5 ring out, the second one where Hammett holds an F# with vibrato, and the 3rd one jumping backing into the F#5 power chord.  I have seen all 3 of these approaches.  

The little fills in the chorus I have seen tabbed out in lower positions.  I checked out live videos.  Hammett plays them in the positions I have tabbed out.  

The solo has been tabbed out many different ways in tab books and all that.  My ears tell me he's using pull offs on the high E string up high on the fretboard with some of those runs.  Oh yeah, and I think he dives a little bit further down in Measure 100 with his whammy bar.  But I really liked the take so I decided not to change it.

I've added Wah points.  + means down. o means up.  I tried to get my Wah as close to Hammett's as possible.  Probably the hardest thing to do in the song.  

I tabbed out the little outro fills.  It was really low in the mix so my ears picked out what they could. 

Hope you enjoy the video :)

This has got to be the most accurate tab ever. You even tabbed out the fill-ins. You need an award for all your effort. Good job as always.

@Nijoto

Yes, man! No B.S. No stalling. No life stories. No failed humor. No foaming of the mouth with philosophical life lessons. Just straight up material. Right to the point. Very well done, mate!

I never learned this song, but it's been stuck in my head for days and I don't know why. Playing this has given me a new appreciation for it, and although I can only do the solo about 80 percent right now, I found an even deeper appreciate for that part. What a great solo!

@gjinro743

that drum tom intro is sooooooooooooooooooo electrifying up to this day

@darkoFNFN

Probably the most accurate cover yet. Great work!

@RisingSun96

Enter WAHman, my dad showed me this song when I was just 7 years old, 20 years later, I'm still rocking out to it!

@ValHemi265

Was only a teen when this come out. And that tune always stuck out in my mind.

Now I'm 46, March 5th this year and to see it played in tab reminds me why this song still rocks.

Thankssss. I normally watch Marty but I couldn't comprehend what he's trying to show me with this song so I went here. You two are BIG help.

@shreksonlyfans4997

Man, you have to make a From whom the bells tolls lesson, this video is perfect, and it was the only video that I could play the solo right, keep the awesome work man!!!

Finland + Italy = Finally

@TUUK2006

I've heard this song a thousand times, played it HUNDREDS of times. I was sure you were wrong on multiple points on the solo. I used AI to split the stems and listened to them over and over and realised I'm playing it wrong and you're doing little details right. Much respect!

@johnutman4726

These are the maybe the smoothest guitar lesson videos ive seen you re awesome man

@painofnullity5342

Excellent job! When they sing "we're off to never never land" you hit G twice in the end, which is exactly what can be heard on the record. Most of the people play G F# there, same as in the main riff tail. I think even Metallica has forgotten it was recorded the way you did it :)

@Annatavfon

This is what I’m going for after learning guitar for 6 months. I feel like I actually learn when I try things that I find hard. Been practicing the master of puppets tab aswell and now I see all you need is the true love and passion ❤

@joeyramos5

Lyrics:
Say your prayers, little one
Don't forget, my son
To include everyone
Tuck you in, warm within
Keep you free from sin
'Til the sandman, he comes

Sleep with one eye open
Gripping your pillow tight

Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
We're off to never-never land

Somethings wrong, shut the light
Heavy thoughts tonight
And they aren't of Snow White
Dreams of war, dreams of liars
Dreams of dragon's fire
And of things that will bite, yeah

Sleep with one eye open
Gripping your pillow tight

Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
We're off to never-never land

Now I lay me down to sleep
Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
If I die before I wake
If I die before I wake
I pray the Lord my soul to take
I pray the Lord my soul to take

Hush, little baby, don't say a word
And never mind that noise you heard
It's just the beasts under your bed
In your closet, in your head

Exit light
Enter night
Grain of sand

Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
We're off to never-never land, yeah

Uh
Yeah, yeah

Yo, oh

We're off to never-never land
Take my hand
We're off to never-never land
Take my hand
We're off to never-never land
