Biography:
Metallica is an American heavy metal band. The band was formed in 1981 in San Francisco by vocalist/guitarist James Hetfield and drummer Lars Ulrich and has been based in San Francisco for most of its career. The band's fast tempos, instrumentals, and aggressive musicianship made them one of the founding "big four" bands of thrash metal, alongside Megadeth, Anthrax, and Slayer. Metallica's current lineup comprises founding members, primary songwriters Hetfield, Ulrich, longtime lead guitarist Kirk Hammett, and bassist Robert Trujillo.

Dm Dsus4 Dm
Mama, she has taught me well
C Am Asus2
Told me when I was young
Dm Dsus4 Dm
Son, your life's an open book
C Am Asus4
Don't close it 'fore it's done
Dm Dsus4 Dm
The brightest flame burns quickest

Is what I heard her say
Dm Dsus4 Dm
A son's heart sewed to mother
C Am
But I must find my way
[CHORUS: riff-2]
Dm C Am G
Let my heart go
Dm C Am G
Let your son grow
Dm C Am G
Mama, let my heart go
Dm C Bb G Am Asus2
Or let this heart be still
[2nd VERSE: riff-1]
Dm Dsus4 Dm
Rebel my new last name
C Am Asus2
Wild blood in my veins
Dm Dsus4 D
Apron strings around my neck
C Am Asus4
The mark that still remains
Dm Dsus4 Dm
Left home at an early age
C Am Asus4
Of what I heard was wrong
Dm Dsus4 D
I never asked forgiveness
C Am
But what is said is done
[CHORUS: riff-2]

Let my heart go

Let your son grow

But you gave me your emptiness

I now take to my grave
Dm G
Never I ask of you
C F
But never I gave
Dm G
But you gave me your emptiness
C F
I now take to my grave
Dm C Bb G Am Asus2
So let this heart be still
[3rd VERSE: riff-1]
Dm Dsus4 Dm
Mama, now I'm coming home
C Am Asus2
I'm not all you wished of me
Dm Dsus4 Dm
A mother's love for her son
C Am Asus2
Spoken, help me be
Dm Dsus4 Dm
Well, I took your love for granted
C Am Asus4
And all the things you said to me
Dm Dsus4 Dm
I need your arms to welcome me
C Am
But, a cold stone's all I see
[CHORUS: riff-1]
(last line ends on Asus4 instead of Asus2):

Let your son grow
Dm C Am G
Mama, let my heart go
