Finally, song flow and lyrics (Figure 1 = Figure 1A + Figure 1B)
(INTRO) X4
w/Figure 1
Finished with my woman cause she couldn't help me with my mind
People think I'm insane because I am frowning all the time
(Figure 2) X2
w/Figure 1
All day long I think of things but nothing seems to satisfy
Think I'll lose my mind if I don't find something to pacify
w/Figure 3
Can you help me? Are you for my brain? Oh yeah!
(Figure 1A) X2
w/Figure 1
I need someone to show me the things in life that I can't find
I can't see the things that make true happiness I must be blind
(Solo over Figure 1A)
(Figure 1A) X2
w/Figure 1
Make a joke and I will sigh and you will laugh and I will cry
Happiness I cannot feel and love to me is so unreal
(Figure 2) X2
w/Figure 1A
And so as you hear these words telling you now of my state
I tell you to enjoy life I wish i could but it's too late
(Figure 1)

Subject: TAB: Paranoid (solo) by Black Sabbath
The file for "Paranoid" by Black Sabbath already exists at OLGA. It includes the
tab and chords and lists these three authors: Babis Patrikakis (bpatr@ntua.gr),
Steve Portigal (steve@snowhite.cis.uoguelph.ca) and Ric Kelly
(ric@achenar.demon.co.uk). However, this file does not contain the solo,
which I have tabbed here.

tablature explanation:
b--> bend (to the equivalent of the next number)
r--> release bend
h--> hammer-on p--> pull-off
=--> hold bend
/--> slide up
--> slide down
notes: -All the notes are held until the next note is played,
except for the last note, which is staccato.
-The numbers on top of the tab indicate the beat, so you know
approximately the length of each note. However, it's probably easier
to just listen to the song.
