METALLICA-DEVIL'S DANCE
                    -----------------------

This is based on the track from ReLoad. This is in 4/4 time but parts
of it have a strong swing feel. Also notice the guitars are tuned at 
standard pitch except for the low E string which is tuned down to D. 
Remember for the best crunch down-pick EVERYTHING! The lyrics are
at the end of the tab.
