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.

[RIFF 1]

[Verse 1, play RIFF 2 underneath]
Down in the depths of my firey home
The summons bell will chime
Tempting you and all the earth
To join our sinful kind

There is a job to be done and I'm the one
You people make me do it
Now it is time for your fate and I won't hesitate
To pull you down into this pit

[Chorus, play RIFF 1 underneath]
So come on
Jump in the fire
So come on
Jump in the fire

[Verse 2, play RIFF 2 underneath]
With hell in my eyes and with death in my veins
The end is closing in
Feeding on the minds of man
And from their souls within
My disciples all shout to search out
And they always shall obey
Follow me now my child not the meek or the mild
But do just as I say

[Repeat Chorus]

[Play RIFF 3 several times behind lead (not transcribed)]

[Verse 3, play RIFF 2 underneath]
Jump by your will or be taken by force
I'll get you either way
Trying to keep the hellfire lit
I am stalking you as prey
Living your life as me I am you you see
There is part of me in everyone
So reach down grab my hand walk with me through the land
Come home where you belong

[Repeat Chorus]

[Play RIFF 2 several times behind lead (not transcribed)]
[Fade]
