    This is one of the bests Black Sabbath's songs, but i don't think that the
 geral public likes it, 'cause i haven't seen the tab for this song anywhere!!

    It's in the same "line" of Black Sabbath's songs, it consists in a lot of
little riffs, which are (In order of appearance):

 Riff 1:

    The song starts with the bass guitar only, and this is what it plays:

G:-----------------------
D:-----------------------     Repeat it a lot of time!!! Listen to the record
A:-3-3/5-5-5-55----------     to see how many times you have to repeat...
E:--------------3-4-5----


    Here is the guitar part for the first part of the song:

E:-----------------------
B:-----------------------   Stay repeating it a few times. Listen to the
G:-----------------------   record to see how many times you have to repeat...
D:-----------------------   Theres another "crazy notes", and i'll try to ca-
