Song: Phantom Lord
Artist: Metallica
Album: Kill'em All

I have included the rest of the song (except the solos), since
there was just a small part of it in the old version (Intro, Main Riff =
and
another riff). The timing may not be correct while reading the tab, but
you can get it easily by listening to the song.

PM - Palm Mute
~ - Let it ring

Intro (basically A's and B's)
|---------------------------------------------------------------------|
|---------------------------------------------------------------------|
|-2----2--2----2--2--2----2--2----2----4----4--4----4--4--4----4--4---|
|-2----2--2----2--2--2----2--2----2----4----4--4----4--4--4----4--4---|
|-0----0--0----0--0--0----0--0----0----2----2--2----2--2--2----2--2---|
|---------------------------------------------------------------------|

Main Riff (played many times during the entire song)
|------------------------|---------------------|
|------------------------|---------------------|
|*-----------------7--9--|--------------------*|
|*--7--9--9--9--9--5--7--|--7--9--9--9--9--7--*|
|---5--7--7--7--7--------|--5--7--7--7--7--5---|
|------------------------|---------------------|

This riff is played a couple of times between the Main Riff
(after 6x when the song starts, then every 2x) and the chorus:

Riff 2:
"Sound is ripping..."
|--------------------------|
|--------------------------|
|---2~~------5----4--------| =20
|---2~~------5----4--5--4--|
|---0~~------3----2--5--4--|
|--------------------3--2--|

After the combination of Main Riff and Riff 2, comes the Chorus.

Chorus (2x):
"Hear the cry of war..." "To control the land!"
|--------------------------| |--------------------------| =20
|--------------------------| |--------------------------|
|--------------------------| 3x then |--------------------------|
|---7--5--7--4--5----------| |---7--5--4--5--4----------|
|---7--5--7--4--5----------| |---7--5--4--5--4----------|
|---5--3--5--2--3----------| |---5--3--2--3--2----------|

The song goes for another combination of Main Riff and Riff 2 (just
like the first one), then the Chorus again and the 1st solo starts.

The rhythm guitar goes like this during this solo:

|--------------------------| |--------------------------|
|--------------------------| |--------------------------|
|---5--4--5----------------| 4x |------------5--4----------| 4x
|---5--4--5--4--5----------| |---5--4--5--5--4----------|
|---3--2--3--4--5----------| |---5--4--5--3--2----------|
|------------2--3----------| |---3--2--3----------------|

Both of them are played 2x, then:

(no distortion in this part)
|--------------------------| |-----------------------------------|
|--------------------------| |------------------------------0----|
|---5~~4~~2~~1~~-----------| -> |----0-------0-------0--------------| = 8x
|-----------------5-4-2----| |------2-------2-------2-----2------|
|-----------------5-4-2----| |--2-------2-------2-------2--------|
|-----------------3-2-0----| |--------3-------2-------1-------0--|
\-PM--/

Distortion is on again:

|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
|*---------------------------------------------------------------*| 4x
|*---2-----2--2--2-----5--5--5--5-----4--4--4--4-----3--3--3--3--*|
|----2-----2--2--2-----5--5--5--5-----4--4--4--4-----3--3--3--3---|
|----0-----0--0--0-----3--3--3--3-----2--2--2--2-----1--1--1--1---|
\--PM-----------PM-------------PM-------------PM---/

Make some noise with these E's:

|----------------------------|
|----------------------------|
|----------------------------|
|---2--2--2--2--2--2--2--2---|
|---2--2--2--2--2--2--2--2---|
|---0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0---|

Now the 2nd solo starts. The rhythm guitar plays Riff 2 4x, but instead
of playing the Main Riff between them, he plays Palm-Muted E's very =
fast.

When the 2nd solo is over, the song goes back to the the first part
(Main Riff 2x - Riff 2 - Main Riff 2x - Riff 2 - Main Riff 2x - Chorus)
except that the chorus is played one last time without vocals, before
this:

|----------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------|
|----------4~~-----------7~~-----9~9~9~9~9~~~~~|
|---2~~----4~~----5~~----7~~-----9~9~9~9~9~~~~~|
|---2~~----2~~----5~~----5~~-----7~7~7~7~7~~~~~|
|---0~~-----------3~~------------0~0~0~0~0~~~~~|

And, to finish the song:

|----------------------------|
|----------------------------|
|----------------------------|=20
|-----7----5----4--5--4--2---|=20
|-----7----5----4--5--4--2---|
|---0-5--0-3--0-2--3--2--0---|
PM PM PM
