Another awesome feat for Ozzy/Wylde.  Standard tuning is odd for a Wylde
song, as most of his tunes are Eb.  But i believe he preforms this in
standard....  Most of the parts are pretty simple & even repetitive, but
they all go together to make a great song.

Intro:

Purty piano intro here... For an added touch, the chords are:
Em, C, Em, C, C7

Which then breaks into this:

E-6\\\---

Hit the slide, then play this two times (2X).  All the hits are there but
you'll have to listen to the intro yourself for the exact rhythm.

(Main Riff)

Main Riff X 2

Now, repeat the 1st verse.....

At the end hit this fill:

e-----------
b-----------
g--4----7---
d--4----7---
a--2----5---
E-----------

Outro:

Main Riff X4

"I'm just trying....."

Then:
      (whilist a wah plays the outro solo)

E--0-0--0-2b--0-0-2b~~0-0-2b--0-0-2b--0-0-5h7-----------

Continue with the main riff & fade out w/ the outro solo,
Which im a bit too lazy to tab out.

Key:  h - hammer on
      b - bend
      r - release bend
     pb - pre-bend
      / - slide up               Simple symbols......
      \ - slide down
      v - vibrato
      t - tapping
      X - scrape
      ~ - let ring



I’ve had a few requests lately for the piano intro tab,
and I realized that’s it’s incredibly handy to have if
you’re playing this as a one-man-band. So, here ya go...

           ,--The "2" is played quickly after the last "0"
