Song: Dirty Window Artist: Metallica Album: St. Anger Transcribed by: Jon (jon@moshpitfury.com) ========================================================= Here are the tabs to the new Metallica song Dirty Window. These are the correct tabs! Meaning how Metallica plays it. It's a bit hard to convey timing in tablature, but I did my best. The song is in 4/4. the main riff is 2 dotted 8th notes followed by an 8th note (in case this helps anyone out there). Just listen to the song for the timing. This is my first tab, feel free to email me with comments. Rock on! Guitars are in Drop D tuning (only everything is tuned down 1/2 a step): 1st = Eb (high) 2nd = Bb 3rd = Gb 4th = Db 5th = Ab 6th = Db (low) x = muted string / = slide up ^ = bend ~ = vibrato PM = Palm mute ========================================================= Played along with rhythm of snare drum (Play 2 times) Eb|--------------------------|--------------------------| Bb|--------------------------|--------------------------| Gb|--------------------------|--------------------------| Db|--x-x-x-x-x--x---x-x--x---|--------------------------| Ab|--x-x-x-x-x--x---x-x--x---|--------------------------| Db|--x-x-x-x-x--x---x-x--x---|--------------------------| (Play 2 times) |--------------------------|--------------------------| |--------------------------|--------------------------| |--------------------------|--------------------------| |--x-x-x-x-x--x---x-x--x---|--x-x-x-x-x--x---x-x--x---| |--x-x-x-x-x--x---x-x--x---|--x-x-x-x-x--x---x-x--x---| |--x-x-x-x-x--x---x-x--x---|--x-x-x-x-x--x---x-x--x---| Main riff (Play 5 times) |--------------------------|--------------------------| |--------------------------|--------------------------| |--------------------------|--------------------------| |--------------------------|--------------------------| |--------------------------|-------------/5-----------| |--0---3---5--0---3---5----|--0---3---5------6--5-----| |--------------------------|--------------------------| |--------------------------|--------------------------| |--------------------------|--------------------------| |--3---------------(3)--3--|-/5---------5----5----5---| |--3---------------(3)--3--|-/5---------5----5----5---| |--3---------------(3)--3--|-/5---------5----5----5---| Repeat main riff 4 times (vocals enter 2nd time) |--------------------------|--------------------------| |--------------------------|--------------------------| |--------------------------|--------------------------| |--3------------------(3)--|-/5----------------(5)----| |--3------------------(3)--|-/5----------------(5)----| |--3------------------(3)--|-/5----------------(5)----| "this house is clean baby..."
