Fade To Black

Chords

Standard

# This is a tab of how I play it here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WZxXW4_UTPw

This intro is very simplified.


A||----0-4-0---0---0----|
E||--2-------2---0------|
C||---------------------
G||---------------------|

A||----0-4-0---0---0----|
E||--0-------0---2------|
C||---------------------|
G||---------------------|

# Then,

Am, C, G Em fingerpicked.  On the Em, strum it once, then do:

A||--2s5-5-------------|
E||--3s5-5-------------|
C||--------------------|
G||--------------------|

^^Repeat that at least twice.  Then go in to the singing part.


Am                   C         G                  Em
Life it seems will fade away, drifting further every day.
Am                   C       G                  Em
Getting lost within myself, nothing matters, no one else.
Am                   C        G                  Em
I have lost the will to live, simply nothing more to give.
Am                   C           G
There is nothing more for me.  Need the end to set
E
me free

Then there's the heavy instrumental.  I do it like this.

# A, C, A, D, E

# I use these shapes for D and E:

A||---5----7--------|
E||---5----8--------|
C||---6----9--------|
G||---7----9--------|

# Then A, C, A, G, F#, E

Do the G to F# then E like this:

A||---2----1----2---|
E||---3----2----4---|
C||---2----1----4---|
G||---3----2----4---|

Repeat that instrumental twice.  Then the next verse.

Am                   C               G                  Em
Things not what they used to be, missing one inside of me.
Am                   C               G                  Em
Deathly lost, this can't be real, cannot stand this hell I feel.
Am                   C     G                  Em
Emptiness is filling me, to the point of agony.
Am                   C        G
Growing darkness taking dawn, I was me, but 
E
now he's gone

Instrumental again. Repeat.

Then the bridge.  I've simplified it very much:

D                                      F
No one but me can save myself but it's too late
D                                          F
Now I can't think, think why I should even try.
D                                  F  
Yesterday seems as though it never existed
D                                        F
Death greats me warm, now I will just say goodbye.

# At this point, I just repeat the Am, C, G, Em fingerpicking part of the
# intro.  I'm no Kirk Hammet.
