HARVESTER OF SORROW - Metallica
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There wasn't a good tab for this great song, so I made one.
This is 100% perfect, I know this for a fact.

LYRICS
1. My life suffocates,
Planting the seeds of hate.
I've loved turned to hate,
Trapped far beyond my fate.
I give, you take, this life that I forsake.
Been cheated of my youth, you turned this lie to truth.
Anger, misery, you'll suffer unto me.
Harvester of sorrow (language of the mad)
Harvester of sorrow
2. Pure black looking clear,
My work is done soon here.
Try getting back to me,
Get back what used to be.
Drink up, shoot in, let the beatings begin.
Distributor of pain, your loss becomes my gain.
Anger, misery, you'll suffer unto me.
Harvester of sorrow (language of the mad)
Harvester of sorrow
3. All have said their prayers,
Invade their nightmares.
To see into my eyes,
You find where murder lies.
Infanticide.
Harvester of sorrow (language of the mad)
Harvester of sorrow (language of the mad)
Harvester of sorrow...

How to Read Bass Tab: A Beginner's Guide
1. Understanding the Basics
a. Strings:
Bass tab consists of horizontal lines representing the strings of the bass guitar.
The lowest-pitched string (usually the E string) is at the bottom, and the highest-pitched string
(usually the G string) is at the top.
b. Numbers:
Numbers on the lines indicate which fret to play on a specific string.
For example, if you see "3" on the E string, it means you should press down the third fret on the lowest string.
2. Reading Bass Tab Example
In this tab:
- Play the note on the 1st fret of the E string.
- Play the open E string.
- Play the 3rd fret on the A string.
- Play the 1st fret on the A string.

E|---1-1---1---3---|
3. Playing Techniques
a. Hammer-ons and Pull-offs:
Hammer-ons are represented by an "h" (e.g., 5h7 means play the 5th fret and hammer onto the 7th fret).
Pull-offs are represented by a "p" (e.g., 7p5 means play the 7th fret and pull off to the 5th fret).
b. Slides:
Slides are often indicated by an "/" or "\\" between two numbers (e.g., 5/7 means slide from the 5th fret to the 7th fret).
