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

              11/13/97

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.
