Children Of The Grave Tab by Black Sabbath

Children Of The Grave tab by Black Sabbath

Guitar Tab

{ } below the tab -- refers to a text explanation with those same symbols
around it.
/ -- slide up
\ -- slide down
/x -- slide in the direction indicated to nowhere
^ -- bend
(12) -- keeps characters together that are different sizes in the solo

I might mention that this is not the studio version of the song, it's from
some live performance or another, but it sounds close enough I guess to pass
as the studio version.

***Tune down to C#, or 1 1/2 steps***. The strings are still labelled in
standard for simplicity.

But it sounds good anyway.}

Okay, here's my bad idea of a solo. I did this note by note, so the flow
might not be so great. I think it sounds okay though. Sorry for the bad look
of it.
