Metal Militia bass tab by Metallica

The only thing I've done is converting them to ascii.

I've put all note lengths below the measures, they are :
w - whole note
h - half note
q - quarter note
e - eigth note
s - sixteenth note
t - thirty-second note
l - long note ('fermate' sign)
x+y - play note with length x+y

/ - a couple of these mean you have to fill the length with
  1. eight notes     (1 slash)  or
  2. sixteenth notes   (2 slashes) or
  3. thirty-second notes (3 slashes)

R - in the tab denotes a rest.
x - an undefined or muted note.
[ 3 ] - a triplet

/ - slide up
/(X) - slide up to fret X, but don't pick X
\ - slide down
\(X) - slide down to fret X, but don't pick X
T - tap note
Harm - harmonic
A.H. - Artificial harmonic

inside bar :
p - pull off
h - hammer on
bx - bend string x notes up
bx r - bend string x notes up and release string

a note without a length indication, means a 'ghost' note (The little notes
that occur in sheet music sometimes).

cresc. - crescendo (Play louder and louder, 'fade in')

||-- --||
||-o o-|| - a repeat
||-o o-||
||-- --||

| X |
|-----| - X bar rest
|-----|
|   |

|-----|
| % | - repeat previous bar

Lyrics :
 1. Thunder and lightning. The gods take revenge
  Senseless destruction
  Victims of fury are cowardly now
  Running for safety
  Stabbing the harlot to pay for her sins
  Leaving the virgin
  Suicide running as if it were free
  Ripping and tearing

 Pre-chorus :
  Oh! Through the mist and the madness
  We're trying to get the message to you

 Chorus :
  Metal militia !
  Metal militia !
  Metal militia !

 2. Chained and shadowed to be left behind
  Nine and one thousand
  Metal militia for your sacrifice
  Iron-clad soldiers
  Join or be conquered, the low of the land
  What will befall you ?
  The metallization of your inner soul
  Twisting and turning

 Pre-chorus

 Chorus
  Metal militia !

 3. We are one as we all are the same
  Fighting for one cause
  Leather and metal are our uniforms
  Protecting what we are
  Joining together to take on the world
  With our heavy metal
  Spreading the message to everyone here
  Come let yourself go

 Pre-chorus

 Chorus :
   Metal militia ! (repeat & fade)
