hello everyone, i was wondering if anybody could answer a few questions i have on the song My freind of misery by metallica.

1) what key is the song in?

2) does anybody know the notation for the bass line that is at the very begining of the song?

im a drummer so im not really familiar with keys and other stuff like that so any help would be greatly apreciated.

I want to say Dm, but I haven't heard/played the song in years.

The intro riff (repeated through much of the song) is for sure in Dm, but I think the song is mostly in Bm as there is a lot of Em and F#m being played for every other riff aside from the intro one I've posted below. I could be very wrong though. Metallica plays out of key material here and there in almost all of their earlier material, so it's difficult to decide on a key.
