From p3034558@hardy.ocs.mq.edu.au Tue Jun 11 07:19:21 1996 Date: Tue, 11 Jun 1996 17:11:02 +1000 (EST) Subject: CRD: Mama Said by Metallica "Mama Said" by Metallica, from the album "Load." Transcribed by Daniel Meijer & Some have bagged this as "country music" which is crap, it takes more than a pedal steel to make country music. It's more like Led Zeppelin's "Tangerine" than anything else. "Load" is great (and I love Master of Puppets), it shows a new depth to the band's songwriting. Some of the lyric transcriptions might be a bit out, feel free to email me any corrections! In the intro and verses, play around with the Dm and Am chords....turn them into Dmsus2, Dmsus4, and Amsus4. Tune down a 1/2 step.

That's a gr8 song from the 'new' Metallica : it's in their last album, 'Load'. It's called 'Mama Said'. I've found out only the chords : forgive me if they're not right! :^) Main Verse : C#min ( listen to the song to find out when you have to move your little finger to the 7th fret of B string and then back again ) B - G#min Chorus : 3x C#min - B - G#min - F# 1x C#min - B - A - F# - G# Then what we can call a Second Chorus : C#min - F# - B - E which finishes like the Chorus : C#min - B - A - F# - G# If you play it one half step higher, it becomes much easier. Sounds like : Dmin - C - Amin etc... I think Metallica have their guitars tuned this way for this song. That's all! Sorry if there aren't the lyrics, but I'm Italian and I haven't time to find them out now ( I've got my exams at University! :^) ). Please e-mail me if this has been of some use for you ( and also if you have the lyrics.. ;) ).
