Biography:
Black Sabbath was an English heavy metal band formed in Birmingham in 1968 by guitarist Tony Iommi, drummer Bill Ward, bassist Geezer Butler and vocalist Ozzy Osbourne. They are often cited as pioneers of heavy metal music. The band helped define the genre with releases such as Black Sabbath (1970), Paranoid (1970), and Master of Reality (1971). The band had multiple line-up changes following Osbourne's departure in 1979, with Iommi being the only constant member throughout its history.

Tab/Chords by Chris Sheppard (skatewey)
Heard an acoustic version of this classic by a covers band on a
local radio station & was inspired to create my own spin.
As a guide, use a strum pattern which kind of mimics the lyrics a bit.
I play the G D Em sequence throughout with single short up strums to match lyric timing.
If you listen to the original album version the power chord fills are obvious.
Play as a slightly slower funkier acoustic version of the original...
Use a capo for different keys...

G|----------------0h2---0h2-| (Intro x4)
D|-0h2-0h2-0h2-0h2---0h2----| (A simple Em hammer-on played over 3 strings!)
A|-0h2-0h2-0h2--------------| (Getting the timing right is tricky...)

[Verse 1]
Em D G D Em
Finished with my woman 'cause she couldn't help me with my mind
Em D G D Em
People think I'm insane because I am frowning all the time
[Fill]
Em C D Em (x2)
[Verse 2]
Em D G D Em
All day long I think of things but nothing seems to sa-tis-fy
Em D G D Em
Think I'll lose my mind if I don't find something to pa-ci-fy
[Fill]
Em (strum) D (strum) Em (strum) D (strum)
Can you help me? occupy my brain? Oooh...yeah!
Em D G D Em (x2)
[Verse 3]
Em D G D Em
I need someone to show me the things in life that I can't find
Em D G D Em
I can't see the things that make true happiness, I must be blind
Em D G D Em
[Solo] (x4)
(Optional, see other tabs)
[Fill] (x2)
Em D G D Em
Em D G D Em
Make a joke and I will sigh and you will laugh and I will cry
Em D G D Em
Happiness I cannot feel and love to me is so un-real
[Fill]
Em C D Em (x2)
[Verse 4]
Em D G D Em
And so as you hear these words tell-ing you now of my state
Em D G D Em
I tell you to enjoy life I wish I could but it's too late
[Outro]
