The opening part after the bass intro:

Eb|------0------------------5-----|
Ab|---------3---------------5-----|
Gb|------------1--0---------5-----|
Db|---2--------------2------7-----|

and then into the heavy part: (with heavy distortion) dist off..

Gb|---------------2-----------------0------0---5---------------------------|
Db|-2----------------2--------------0------3---7---------------------------|
Ab|-0----------------0--------------2------3---7---------------------------|
Eb|------------------------------3------1------5---------------------------|

The chorus: (There are two parts) (this is one of them...)
(heavy dist.) (heavy dist.)
Eb|-------------------| The higher ---7--5-3--2--3--0---------------|
Bb|-------------------| part varies ---------------------------------|
Gb|-------------------| so try to ---------------------------------|
Db|--5--7-5--4--4--5--| listen to the ---------------------------------|
Ab|--7--7-7--5--6--7--| high end. ---------------------------------|
Eb|-------------------| ---------------------------------|
....repeat..........

Besides the solo, and some very weird arpeggiated notes in the background
in one part of the song, that's just about it.





METALLICA-UNTIL IT SLEEPS
----------------------------
Tabber: Christopher J. Rizzo
----------------------------

Here it is! This is as close as I can figure. Most of it based
on Hetfield's guitar work in the left channel. Like I did with
the CURE tab this song is tabbed staright through but with out
the solo, or whatever that thing is ;) Anyway, any comments and
corrections would be greatly appreciated. Enjoy!

METALLICA-UNTIL IT SLEEPS
----------------------------
Tabber: Christopher J. Rizzo
----------------------------

Here it is! This is as close as I can figure. Most of it based
on Hetfield's guitar work in the left channel. Like I did with
the CURE tab this song is tabbed straight through but with out
the solo, or whatever that thing is ;) Anyway, any comments and
corrections would be greatly appreciated. Enjoy!
