The original version of "Mama Said" appears on the Metallica album "Load".

"Mama Said" as performed by James Hetfield on single acoustic guitar.
A great song and easy to play.
Tune your guitar down ½ step if you want to play to the record.

h = hammer on
p = pull off
/ = slide up; \ = slide down
b = bend
~ = vibrato/hold note
x = string is not played; () notes in brackets are played very softly

So here we go...
