 Black Sabbath - Children of the Grave
 
 From the CD 'Master of Reality'
 Written by Iommi/Ward/Butler/Osbourne
 Warner Bros. Records 2562-2
 
 Tune down 1 and 1/2 steps for this song. I think every song on
 &quot;Master of Reality&quot; was tuned down in this manner. Maybe. The key is C#,
 or E if you imagine it being played with standard tuning. You can play
 this song exactly like a song in E, and you'll be in key.
 
 e -&gt; c#
 B -&gt; G#
 G -&gt; E
 D -&gt; B
 A -&gt; F#
 E -&gt; C#
 
 | = not a standard bar line; just used to separate music
 ~ = vibrato or held note
 h = hammer on
 p = pull off
 s = slide
 b = bend string up to indicated pitch/fret
 r = release bend to indicated string/fret
 / = slide up from infinity
 \ = slide down into infinity
 PM = Palm Mute; lightly touch the strings at the bridge with the edge of
 the fret hand
 
 [Intro] (Play first part 14 times)
