Mama Said Tabs

(ver. 3)
Metallica
This is the way how I play this song
I guess , I`m sure, this is the best version on internet
But I have to say that the intro I play a little bit different,but 
it doesn`t matter:-)
Anyway I didn`t figure it out and author`s name is in the title

Pavel Holka 


                                  * Mama Said *
                          Metallica - from album "Load"
                Words and music by James Hetfield and Lars Ulrich


     
     This is the right way, but I haven't figured it all out yet.
     Missing some solo parts and the chorus solo...
     Please mail me any comments/corrections...
