Tabbed by: Jaymz Haas
Email: the.master.ofpuppets@hotmail.com

Tuning: Standard

This isn't my first tab, but it's my first tab for the greatest Metal band 
of all time and also my all time favourite metal band, so it's pretty 
emotional putting this up. I don't want to disgrace Metallica, so rest 
assured, I have done my best to bring you this tab in it's entirity.

For the heart beat intro just play some clean open string palm mutes with 
a flange effect or something, otherwise start with the clean intro.

Guitar I:  James Hetfield (Left Speaker)
Guitar II: Kirk Hammett (Right Speaker)

SO that's "That Was Just Your Life" As good as I can do it for now. Uncut
 and in it's Entirity :P :P

I haven't missed anything, but there might be things which aren't exact. 
However, I am sure you can get away with playing what I got up, no one will
 notice.

Enjoy :)
