I've been looking for a tab of this very cool Ozzy tune for a couple of
months and couldn't find one, so I finally just sat down and figured it out.
  This is my first tab, so be gentle, ok?

FIG 1.

Music box part arranged for guitar
(play with a clean tone, chorus.  It sounds cool if you turn the
speed and depth up a little more on the chorus in this part than
you would normally)

|---3-2-3---2-3---3-2-3-5-3-2----3-2-3------------6-6-5-3------|
|-5-------5-----5--------------5-------5--3-5-3-1--------------|
|--------------------------------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------------------------------|

Repeat 3 times and slow to a stop the fourth time through



FIG 2.

Overdrive distortion kicks in

(it sounds like the chords should change
when you let this next part ring,
but the change is in the bass part)

                 . . . . . ^^^
|-----------------------------|
|-----------------------------|
|-----------------------------|
|-9----9----9----9-9-8-7-6-5--|
|-9----9----9----9-9-8-7-6-5--|
|-7----7----7----7-7-6-5-4-3--|

Repeat twice


FIG 3.

                      ^^^^
|---------------------------| |--------------------|
|-------3---3---------------| |----------3----3----|
|-------2---2-2---0-2-2(PH)-| |----------2----2-2--|
|-2-2-2-------2---0-2-------| |-2-2-2-----------2--|
|-2-2-2---------------------| |-2-2-2--------------|
|-----3---------------------| |-----3--------------|

Repeat 3 times                   Last time through



FIG 4.

|-----------------------------|
|--------3--------3-------3---|
|--------2--------2-------2-2-|
|-2--------2--------2-------2-|
|-2--------2--------2---------|
|-----------------------------|


Back to FIG 1.


BRIDGE:

Only the chords here, perhaps someone could help me out...

|-7--5--3--2-|
|-7--5--3--2-|
|-8--6--4--3-|
|-9--7--5--4-|
|-9--7--5--4-|
|-7--5--3--2-|


Listen to the CD (for the timing and because it's an awesome CD)

For anyone who doesn't know how to do pinch harmonics (which Zakk uses
extensively), I generally strike the note with the nail of the index finger
on my pick hand, dragging my thumb slightly over the string after I strike
it.  It requires a very subtle touch but it produces an awesome sound and I
recommend taking the time to get it right because it just sounds so damn
cool.
