Song

Band: KoRn

Song: One (Metallica Cover)

Album: Take a Look in the Mirror (Secret Track at the end of the album.)

Tabbed by: Pooeater

Tuning: DGCFAd (Dropped one whole step)

p= pull off

h= hammer on

b= bend

/= slide

Okay everyone, this is the KORN VERSION of this song. It has many significant

diffences from the original Metallica version. It is shortened a whole lot and

alot of parts are either changed, or just left out. KoRn also plays 7 string

guitars but this song works on 6 and everyone plays 6 so it's okay.

Verse: Guitar 2 (Munky)

There are a few notes in the original version that KoRn doesn't play, so don't

think that I'm an idiot for leaving them out.

AFTER YOU PLAY THE CHORUS WRITTEN ABOVE, PLAY THE VERSE AGAIN EXACTLY AS I WROTE

IT BEFORE. JUST LISTEN TO THE SONG IF YOU NEED TO.

THEN PLAY THE CHORUS AGAIN.

Solo: Guitar 2 (Munky)

This solo was changed alot. It was shortened and alot of notes were left out.

But, it's what they play so.......

Chorus: Both Guitars.

Now this riff of the chours is just slightly different. (Now the world is gone

I'm just one......) It is just like the "Hold my breath as I wish for death" part

but with one chord left out. Anyway, here it is.

Now here is the regular chorus riff with a slightly different ending. The line

in the tabs shows where the new ending is.

"Darkness" Riff: Both Guitars

This riff is also differnt from the original. Metallica plays two sets of

triplets open on the top string and then the power chord. Korn just plays the

top string four times open and then the power chord.

yourself. Kird ape is god.
