The song is in exact timing. Intro, chorus and rhythm figures 8th = ---- (except else indicated). Solos 8th = -------- (except solo 1) Blank columns do not count in timing. They are just used to separate adjacent fret numbers.

Now comes solo 1. Timing isn`t always exact but is close.
th Rhy. Fig. 1) 1. Welcome to where time stands still, noone leaves and noone will Moon is full never seems to change, just labeled mentally deranged Dream the sane thing every night, I see our freedom in my sight No locked doors, no windows barred , no things to make my brain seem scared
2. Build my fear of what`s out there, cannot breath the open air Whisper things into my brain, assuring me that I`m insane They think our heads are in their hands, but violent use brings violent plans Keep him tied, it makes him well, he`s getting better can`t you tell?
1.Sleep my friend and you will see that dream is my reality 2.No more can they keep us in, listen damn it we will win ----------------|----------------|--------| ----------------|----------------|--------| ----------------|----------------|--------| 8th=-- ----------------|----------------|--------| ----2-2-----3-3-|----5-5---------|--------| 0-0-----0-0-----|0-0-----5-5-5-3-|3-3-5-3-|

Now comes the second solo. The backing guitar plays a B chord for the next line and then goes on 4 times with the backing rhythm of solo 1.
For the next two lines we have two guitars soloing together. For two notes they play on the same string (high E). In this case the highest note is indicated above the tablature.
--------3-----------------------| --------------------------------| 4-----------------------6-------| Now go back and play verse 2. ---------------/7---------------| --------------------------------| --------------------------------|
This last E chord lasts rather long for Metallica, while the song doubles its tempo and the lyrics go Just leave me alone. Then you make a pick slide down the neck and you go:

This last note on 5th fret of D string belongs to another guitar whose line is tabbed in the upper part of Riff 1. All three guitars play together Rhy. Fig. 3 and Riff 1 for 2 times, and then continue for 2 times under the following solo 4.

Together with the note on 12th fret of B string the backing guitars go as follows until the end of the song.
