Black Sabbath - Embryo/Children of the Grave/The Haunting
From Black Sabbath's "Master of Reality" Album - July 1976
Tuning Note: Tune to C#. Allegro, 132 beats/min., 4/4 count
Note: Lyrics written here may not align with the tab due to space
constraints.
Special Note: I don't normally transcribe the chords so close together,
but the style of the song and the space constraint
dictated it for "Children of the Grave". Many thanks again
