Shot In The Dark Tab by Ozzy Osbourne

Shot In The Dark tab by Ozzy Osbourne (Ver. 2)

Guitar Tab

O.K. the other tabs on here have parts of the song right but heres how i play it.
This sounds correct to me, but its hard to tell cuz the guitar wasn't mixed well
on Ultimate Sin.  The timing isnt exact but i feel like this is a good tab other
then that
🏷Legend:
h= Hammer on
p= Pull off
[ ]= Artificial/pinch harmonic
B= Full bend
b= Half bend
Tr= Tremolo picking
/= slide up
r= release bend
PM= palm muting
*= natural harmonic
~= Vibrato
BB= full bend then release a little then bend bend back to full bend
()= optional note,play it if you want

🎸

Intro:
ok for the first part of the intro you're hitting natural harmonics and bending them.
bend them by pressing down on the string on the headstock, or if you have a floating
just use the bar to bend up.

play this the third time round when you play the chorus the second time if that makes sense

Ab|--2----2--------------------------7----5----2-2--3-3---------------------|

after the first chorus you play the intro again, n then you play this little fill

eb|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|

Gb|--[5]Br-3h5p3---3h5p3-5~-------------------------------------------------|
Db|--------------5~---------------------------------------------------------|

then you play another verse, prechorus, and chorus

Interlude:

Play this with distortion TWICE

eb|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Bb|-------10/7-----8/7----------8/5-----7/5---------------------------------|

have the 7's at the end be the 7's when you start again

Solo:

This solo isn't too hard overall

eb|------------7--------------7---------------------------------------------|

k so after the solo you play a prechorus then the chorus then u do the intro
again with different fills in between it, the fills are all round like 3rd 5th
or 7th fret with fast hammer ons n pull offs n pinch harmonics so you can have
fun make your own fills :-)
alright peace,
