The Unforgiven

Metallica

Tom: G

Acoustic:

Am                 Em
New blood joins this earth
D                Am
And quickly he's subdued
                        Em
Through constant pained disgrace
D                         Am
The young boy learns their rules

                    Em
With time the child draws in
D                      Am
This whipping boy done wrong
                   Em
Deprived of all his thoughts
D               Am                                                  
The young man struggles on and on he's known
C              G
A vow unto his own
E                   Am
That never from this day
C                    G
His will they'll take away

E
ieeeeeeeee

Am          C
What I've felt
               G
What I've known
E                                Am
Never shined through in what I've shown
        C
Never be
         G
Never see
E                         Am
Won't see what might have been

           C
What I've felt
           G
What I've known
        E                     Am
Never shined through in what I've shown
    C
Never free
    G
Never me
E                 Am
So I dub thee unforgiven

Am                  Em
They dedicate their lives
D                Am
To running all of his
                     Em
He tries to please them all
D                Am
This bitter man he is
                   Em
Throughout his life the same
D                 Am
He's battled constantly
                  Em
This fight he cannot win
D                 Am
A tired man they see no longer cares
C                 G
The old man then prepares
E             Am
To die regretfully
C                  G
That old man here is me

E
ieeeeeeeee

Am          C
What I've felt
            G
What I've known
        E                   Am      
Never shined through in what I've shown
        C
Never be
        G
Never see
E                 Am
Won't see what might have been

Am          C
What I've felt
            G
What I've known
        E                    Am
Never shined through in what I've shown
        C
Never free
        G
Never me
E                 Am
So I dub thee unforgiven

Am           
You labeled me
G
I'll label you
E                Am
So I dub the unforgiven
