            BATTERY by Metallica
          From the album "Master of Puppets"

    There's about half a dozen guitar parts on the intro where Jaymz
 layered acoustics, steel strings, spanish guitars and god knows what else.
 One acoustic plays riff 1 and the rest of the layered guitars play along
 the lines of riff 2 (I Think)

Acoustic Riff 1

   Weak are ripped and torn  away

Lashing out the action, returning the reaction
Weak are ripped and torn away
Hipnotizing power, crushing all that cower
Battery is here to stay

With Fill 1

E5               C5
Smashing through the boundrys, lunacy has found me
       F5 F5 F#/Eb
Cannot stop the battery

Riff 3

With Fill 1

E5           C5
Pounding out agression, turned into obsession
       F5 F5 F#/Eb
Cannot stop the battery

Riff 3 (first 2 bars)

E5       B5   G5     F#/Eb
Cannot kill the family, battery has grounded me

Riff 3 (first 3 bars)|
           |
Bb5 F5 E5      |     Play this several
Bat-ter-y      |   times and then back to the next verse

Outro:
    Repeat lots       Last time

verses

Crushing all decievers, mashing non-believers
Never ending potency
Hungry violence seeker, feeding off the weaker
Breeding on insanity

Chorus

Circle of destruction, hammer comes crushing
Powerhouse of energy
Whipping up a fury, dominating flurry
We create the battery

Chorus

    I think this is pretty close. I'm not sure about the names of the
funny chords though (marked ??) I'm not too hot on theory!! :)
