I'm not sure if the notation is absolutely correct -- I wrote this down
a while ago.  Z = rests.  Parentheses around chords signify half/whole note
notation...

1st Verses
w/Rhy 2 (2 times)

Make his fight on the hills in the early days.
Constant chill deep inside.
Shouting gun, on they run through the endless grey.
On they fight for they're right Yes, but who's to say?
For a hill men would kill. Why? They do not know.
Suffered wounds test their pride. Men of five still alive through the raging glow.
Gone insane from the pain that they surely know.

(Chorus) w/Rhy Fig 3 (2 times)
For whom the bell tolls
Time marches on.
For whom the bell tolls

1st Verses
w/Rhy 2 (2 times)

Take a look to the sky just before you die.
It's the last time he will.
Blackened roar massive roar, fills the crumbling sky.
Shattered goal fills his soul with a ruthless cry.
Stranger now are his eyes to this mystery.                                                     
Hears the silence so loud.
Crack of dawn, all is gone except the will to be.
Now they see, what will be, blinded eyes to see.

(Chorus) w/Rhy Fig 3 (2 times)
For whom the bell tolls.
Time marches on.
For whom the bell tolls

Video For Whom The Bell Tolls

Metallica - For Whom the Bell Tolls (music video)
The video contains video clips from "Cliff 'em All" and "For Whom the Bell Tolls" (1943 film based on the novel by Ernest Hemmingway). Instrument timings may be off because Metallica played at a higher tempo live than their original track. For everybody's information, there is no real music video for this song. The video was made to heal boredom. R.I.P. Cliff Burton. The video is also uploaded to myspace. http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=1620072089
