METALLICA - "jump in the fire" Tablature

From: bmk@teleport.com (bmk)

"Jump in the Fire" by Metallica from the album "Kill 'em all"
originally released by Megaforce Records, rereleased by Elektra.

Written by James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich and Dave Mustaine.

Transcribed by Brant Katkansky (bmk@teleport.com, brantk@atlas.com)

Key:

~~ Vibrato
=== Tied notes
__3__ Triplets
R Rest

Numbers above staff show duration of note/rest (8=eighth, 4=quarter, 2=half,
1=whole,4.5=dotted quarter, etc.)

I've attempted to get the exact timing, but there's some parts (in the
second riff, for example) where I'm not sure I transcribed perfectly.
Listen to the song if you can't seem to get it.

I didn't transcribe the lead because I don't know it.
