The Unforgiven (Part I), Metallica Words and Music By: James Hetfield,Lars Ulrich and Kirk Hammet There are actually 4 different guitars played in this song, so it's quite difficult to type in the whole tabs, so I've left the rhythm guitar and some fills off, but here is some kind of version to play along with I hope you are satisfied. If you need the fills, email me, and I'll try to find out a way to type them in a way that can be read. The rhythm figure might be a bit easier, so I might make a ChordPro file out of it. The timing should be right, 1/8 note equals to 0---, 1/16 to 0- etc.) Slowly ( 0--- =69 ) THE INTRO PART: --------------- 4/4 timing Gtr II (electric, clean tone) H ~~~~~ |---------------------------------|---------------------------------| |---------------------------------|---------------------------------| |---------------------------------|---------2---4-5^4-------5-4-2---| |---------------------------------|---------------------------------| |---------------------------------|---------------------------------| |---------------------------------|---------------------------------| |Gtr I.
