Chords for Metallica: Riff Charge (The Making of "Hardwired")

_ Of the two versions there, the second version is better than the first.
_ You get that, Mike?
No, I didn't.
Of those two that you just played, Lars preferred the second one.
The second one?
The second one?
Okay, got it.
Let's hear the next thing. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ [N] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ That's the first riff people should hear on this record.
I don't know, man.
That's where the mosh pit starts.
The mission statement is, write [A] an opening song for this next [D] record,
that's super [Ab] thrashy and fast and acro, _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _ [Db] then_
Cool.
Take it.
Or if you're gonna stay with the mission statement,
then [Am] I would hope for a riff charge.
Fast song that's good enough, let me hear an opener.
Riff charge system, boom.
_ [E] _ [F] _ _ [E] _ [N] _
_ One, [Db] two, three, four, tight.
One, [E] two, three, open.
Back to the [G] note.
Back to the note.
_ [F] _ _
_ [A] _ [B] _ _ _ [A] _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
_ [Gb] _
That's a nice, sweet, short [E] intro.
_ [A] _
[E] _ _ [Bb] _ [E] People wish they could [Bb] do this while [Em] James is in the field with me.
I just walk [Bb] right up and do [A] this.
_ [E] _ [F] _ _
[Em] _ _ [B] _ [Bb] _ See, he's still standing there, smiling.
_ _ _ _ [N] _ _ _ _
It's getting better.
Yeah.
I don't know if the_
Ba da da da ba ba da ba da da do.
I don't know, something a little_
If you sing it like that with your shoulders up,
it's definitely got a different feel.
Ba da, ba da.
Ba da da da da da da da.
Ba da da da da da da da.
Dude, I have singing to do.
Somebody said to me the other day,
and it stuck with me,
hardwired, hardwired to self-destruct. _
So, _ like, no matter what you do in your life,
you're really trying to [Ebm] not go down that path
that you may be [G] hardwired to do.
And I was thinking that the drums could do something,
you know, [Fm] [E] bam,
_ _ [N] hardwired to self-destruct.
Or something, you know, where it stopped with the vocal.
Right, great.
I mean, that is exactly what it feels to me like it needs. _ _ _ _ _ _
