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.

AmLife it seems will faCde away, Gdrifting further evEmery day
AmGetting lost within mCyself, Gnothing matters, noEmone else
AmI have lost the will Cto live, Gsimply nothing moreEmto give
AmThere is nothing moreCfor me, Gneed the end to setEmme free

AmThings not what they Cused to be, Gmissing one inside Emof me
AmDeathly lost, this caCn’t be real, Gcannot stand this hEmell I feel
AmEmptiness is filling Cme, Gto the point of agoEmny
AmGrowing darkness takiCng dawn, GI was me, but nowEmhe’s gone

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.
