Metallica - Fade to Black

I skip the Bm intro and outros unless there’s another guitar

who wants to solo; it’s kind of long to just doink around on

one guitar.

Am	C	G	Em
Life it seems will fa	de away,	drifting further ev	ery day

Am	C	G	Em
Getting lost within m	yself,	nothing matters, no	one else

Am	C	G	Em
I have lost the will	to live,	simply nothing more	to give

Am	C	G	Em
There is nothing more	for me,	need the end to set	me free

Interlude

Am	C	Am	E
			x 2

Am	C	G	Em
Things not what they	used to be,	missing one inside	of me

Am	C	G	Em
Deathly lost, this ca	n’t be real,	cannot stand this h	ell I feel

Am	C	G	Em
Emptiness is filling	me,	to the point of ago	ny

Am	C	G	Em
Growing darkness taki	ng dawn,	I was me, but now	he’s gone

Interlude

Am	C	Am	E
			x 2

Let the E ring out, then tempo up and into the closing riff.

When doing this acoustic, I like to hit the Em’s on the and of 2, instead

of the and of 1 like the original. Spending an 8th note on D is a little

lame with a single acoustic.
