Artist:Tony Iommi
Tabbed by:Michael Fiebig

This song has to be played with heavy-ass
 distortion....while tabbing it I only had an
 acustic guitar, with no distortion,that means
 there might actually be a lot of mistakes.
But this sounded kinda right to me.
If you have any suggestions, or the tab for
 to the solo...feel free to mail me.

This song I think is played in a dropped D tuning

The intro part:
E|-----------------------------------------|
B|-----------------------------------------|
G|-----------------------------------------|
D|--2b----2b-----------2b----2b--------|
A|--2b----2b-----------2b----2b--------|
D|--2b----2b-----------2b----2b--------|

When the drums kick in: (I think you call this a bridge)
always play thins when he sings:"the laughing man..."
E-------------------------------
B--------------------------------
G.------------------------------------
D------------------------------------
A--2b--0---2b--0--2b--|--2b--0--2b-0---2b-|
D--2b--0---2b--0--2b--|--2b--0--2b-0---2b-|

 keep on playing that until the
 the verse. There  you play this:

E---------------------------------------
B---------------------------------------
G---------------------------------------
D---------------------------------------
A--2---6-5--0--2--4--2--0--|--2--6-5-0-2-4-2-0-|-
D--2---6-5--0--2--4--2--0--|--2--6-5-0-2-4-2-0-|-
And so on.....

Chorus:("As the needle...")
E----------------------------------
B--12----11------9----7----------
G----------------------------------
D----------------------------------
A----------------------------------
D----------------------------------
Let the notes ring,or play them as often as you like.

You'll have to listen to the song a few times to get the parts right...

I haven't quite been able ,yet, to tab the solo...
if anyone has got an idea how to play that one...
(as I mentioned earlier)...mail me...or put it out by
yourself.
