The Memory Remains Lyrics
by Metallica
I couldn't find this tab anywhere else on this site, so I'm tabbing it out
myself. Oh yeah, I tabbed it out in Drop D. The official tuning is
Standard Eb, though. It sounds exactly the same.
The Memory Remains
As performed on "ReLoad"
Music by James Hetfield, Kirk Hammett, and Lars Ulrich
