Green Hell
by The Misfits
As performed on Garage Days Re-revisited by Metallica
Though most of the songs on Garage Days Re-revisited are
tuned down a step (at least on E), this one isn't.
One of the riffs is just doing a lot of 3's on the E
string,like below. The timing is something like
16th notes.
G|--------------------------------------------------------|
D|--------------------------------------------------------|
A|--------------------------------------------------------|
E|-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-|
Another riff in there is this, the main one....
G|---------------------------------|
D|---------------------------1----|
A|---------------------1--------3-|
E|-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3----3-------|
The last riff is this, used in the chorus,
"green hell, green hell" part.
G|-----------------------------------------|
D|-----------------------------------------|
A|-----------------------------------------|
E|-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-|
G|-----------------------------------------|
D|-----------------------------------------|
A|-----------------------------------------|
E|-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-|
After one of the chorus's (either the 1st or 2nd time,
I'm not sure), there is a little fill that goes
something like the little riff below.
G|--------------------|
D|------7-------------|
A|-5-7----7-5--------|
E|--------------7-6-5-|
***LYRICS***
Here in this place lies the key to your death
Touch it, see it
Here in this place is the means to your end
Touch it, feel it
Green hell
You did your best as someone could
I bet you never knew you would
Did you run away from it?
I bet you thought you were really good
We're gonna burn in hell
Green Hell Green Hell
Like every hell but kind of green
Green Hell Green Hell
Try let me get back up there
Green Hell Green Hell
Feel it burning in your cereal
Green Hell Green Hell
Throw our fuckin' friends inside
Green Hell Green Hell
Gotta fuckin' pay and you must stay
Green Hell Green Hell
Cannot forget about the best
Green Hell Green Hell
Hell is reigning in your blood
Green Hell Green Hell
Gotta burn it all
Green hell
You did your best as someone could
I bet you never knew you would
And did you run away from me
I bet you think they were really good
Here in this place lies the key to your death
Touch it, see it
Here in this place sister won't let it in
Touch it, feel it
Green hell
You did your best as someone could
I bet you'd never knew you would
Did you run away from it?
I bet you thought you were really good
You've come to this as someone told
I bet you'd never knew you would
Gonna bring
Green hell
