Hi guys!
That’s a gr8 song from the ’new’ Metallica : it’s in their last album,
’Load’. It’s called ’Mama Said’. I’ve found out only the chords : forgive me
if they’re not right! :^)
Main Verse : C#min (listen to the song to find out when you have to move your
little finger to the 7th fret of B string and then back
again)
B - G#min
Chorus : 3x C#min - B - G#min - F#
1x C#min - B - A - F# - G#
Then what we can call a Second Chorus : C#min - F# - B - E
which finishes like the Chorus : C#min - B - A - F# - G#
If you play it one half step higher, it becomes much easier. Sounds like :
Dmin - C - Amin etc... I think Metallica have their guitars tuned this way
for this song.
That’s all! Sorry if there aren’t the lyrics, but I’m Italian and I haven’t
time to find them out now (I’ve got my exams at University! :^)). Please
e-mail me if this has been of some use for you (and also if you have the
lyrics.. ;)).
Ciao,
Stefano (mc9350@mclink.it)

This is the way how I play this song
I guess , I’m sure, this is the best version on internet
But I have to say that the intro I play a little bit different,but
it doesn’t matter:-)
Anyway I didn’t figure it out and author’s name is in the title
Pavel Holka
* Mama Said *

This is the right way, but I haven’t figured it all out yet.
Missing some solo parts and the chorus solo...
