Carol of the Bells Guitar Tablature
Band: Metallica
Song: Carol of the Bells
Album: I don’t know
Tuning: Standard
Transcribed By: Strait Up
Email: [email protected]

G1  = Guitar 1
G2  = Guitar 2
End = Note that the song ends on (for both guitars)
*** = Harmonic over the neck pickup on a strat (24th fret if you have it)
      Note:  You wont hear this harmonic if the selector switch is on the
      neck pickup, so set it for a different one, the best being the bridge.


Rock on and Merry Christmas!
