_ _ _ [C#] Alright, this is a National Acrobat [Fm] _ off the Black Sabbath Bloody Sabbath album by Black Sabbath.
Okay, it's tuned down one and a half steps and the [G#] reason why Tony did this is because
he had prosthetic tips for fingers.
So to release the tension he would tune his guitar one and a half steps down.
And that's how you got that evil Black Sabbath riff master _ that just wrote legendary, I mean
launched a thousand riffs that just murdered every single riff that ever came after that
you know and did a lot of influencing.
So _ _ _ we're going to start out with the fifth string fifth fret hammer on.
[G#m] Okay.
_ [G] _ _ Now you can, if you want to, you can play it on the fourth string [B] open.
[C#] _ _
That's the beauty of [G#] guitar is you can choose, make your own choices.
Okay, some people will say, no, no, you got to play, oh no, no, no, no, you got to play it.
[C#] _ _ You got to play it on the fifth string fifth fret.
But I mean, you know, it's your [G#] choice.
Okay, it's your freedom to do whatever you want.
It's [Gm] the same goddamn notes.
Okay, [G#] so I'm going to show you on the fifth string, which I found easier for myself more
control over the notes.
Okay.
Okay, so _ it's fifth string fifth fret [C#] seventh fret hammer on _ _ [F#m] _
[C#] vibrato. _ _ _ _ _ _
Hammer on twice _ _ [D#] _ to a fifth string, fifth, fourth string fifth fret to fourth fret vibrato.
_ _ [G#] Just follow the tabs below on how many times [A#m] you do it.
Okay, so it's going to be fifth string [G#] fifth fret to the seventh fret four times.
[C#] _ _ _ _ [F#] _
[B] _ _ [C] To a fourth string ninth [C#] to seventh fret slide.
_ [B] _ [G#m] Okay, another beauty moment on the guitar, whether if you want to do this or not [D#] yourself,
you can actually bend it. _ _
Instead of sliding.
[B] _ _ [F#] _ _ [B] _
[G#m] Whatever you want to do.
Okay, whatever's easiest for you.
It [G] sounds more like on the record that they _ slide it.
_ [F#m] _ [Fm]
Okay, to a fifth string [D] _ fifth _
[C#] fret vibrato.
[G#] _ _ Sixth string fifth fret.
_ _ _ _ _ Jump _ over to the fourth string fourth to fifth fret and then a fourth to fifth fret hammer
on pull off tremolo, which is just basically _ _ hammer on and pulling off as fast as you can.
Okay. _ _ _ _
So let's go over it dead slow.
[B] Okay.
[C#] _ _
_ _ [D#] _ _ [C#m] _ [D#] _ _ [C#] _

_ [C#] _ _ _ [B] _ _ [G#] _ _
[C#] All _ [C#m] _ _ _ [D#] _ [C#] _
_ _ [F#m] _ _ _ _ _ [G#]
right.
Now there's going to be the verse.
Okay, which is just chords.
And I'll just show you the position tell you the number position because since it's one
and a half steps down, the open is like a C sharp.
Okay, which normally would be an E.
But to not confuse you, what I'm going to do is just
tell you the numbered frets.
Okay, it's going to be an open power chord for the for the verse.
Okay, when when Ozzy comes in [C#] _ _ _ _ _ [G#] to a third fret six string position power chord [E] position. _ _ _
_ _ _ [C#] _ To, _ [Gm]
let's see, [B] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ fifth string fifth fret power chord position. _ _ _ _
[F#m] _ _ _ _ [C#] To the sixth string fifth fret power chord position.
[F#m] _ _ _ _ [C#] Okay, and I think there's certain strumming patterns in there.
Just listen for it.
But I'm just showing you the position.
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ _ [F#m] _ _ _ _
[C#] One more time.
_ _ _ [D] _ [E] _

_ _ One over [G#] to the second _ _ to the third on [E] the sixth.
_ _ [G#] And then a whole fret [F#] up.
[D#] I'm sorry, two frets [F#m] up. _
[C#] To the fifth fret on the sixth string power chord.
Okay, _ [Cm] I'll go over [A] it. _ _ _
