Children of the Grave

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 "Master of Reality" 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 -> c# B -> G# G -> E D -> B A -> F# E -> C# Jimmy Pena - jimmy@walrus.com = 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) e:-------------------------- B:-------------------------- G:o------------------------o D:o------------------------o A:-------------------------- E:----0---0----0-0-0-------- PM-------------- e:---------------------------------- B:---------------------------------- G:---------------------------------- D:---------------------9------------ A:---------------------7------------ E:---0---0---0-0-0--0--------------- PM---------------- Riff 1 e:---------------------------------------------------------------------- B:---------------------------------------------------------------------- G:o--------------------------------------------------------------------o D:o--------------------------------------------------------------------o A:----------7-7-7-------------7-7-7---------------------10--9----------- E:-0---0----0-0-0----0---0----0-0-0----0---0----0-0-0---8---7----------- Riff 2 e:-------------------------------------------------- B:-------------------------------------------------- G:-------------------------------------------------- D:-------------------------------------------------- A:-12-12/14~--17-17~\--10-10--10-10-12-12---12--12-- E:-10-10/12~--15-15~\--8--8~--8--8--10-10~--10--10\- Riff 3 e:---------------------------------------------------------------------- B:---------------------------------------------------------------------- G:o--------------------------------------------------------------------o D:o--------------------------------------------------------------------o A:----------7-7-7-----------7-7-7-----------7-7-7--------5-------------- E:--0---0---0-0-0---0---0---0-0-0----0--0---0-0-0----0---3-------------- Fill 1 e:---15b16------- B:---18b19------- G:--------------- D:--------------- A:--------------- E:--------------- Riff 4 e:---------------------------------------------------------------------- B:---------------------------------------------------------------------- G:---------------------------------------------------------------------- D:---------------------------------------------------------------------- A:---------7-7-7----------7-7-7----------------------------5------------ E:-0---0---0-0-0---0---0--0-0-0----0--0--0-0-0--0-0-0--5h7-------------- Riff 5 e:---------------------------------------------------------------------- B:---------------------------------------------------------------------- G:o--------------------------------------------------------------------o D:o----------------------2------------------------2--------------------o A:--------0--2--0--1--2-----------------0--1--2------1--0--------------- E:--0--3--------------------------0--3---------------------------------- Riff 6 e:---------------------------------------------------------------------- B:---------------------------------------------------------------------- G:o--------------------------------------------------------------------o D:o--------------------------------------------------------------------o A:--14~--17--14--9--8~--8--9--11-12--14---17--14--12--11~-11~-12~------- E:--12~--15--12--7--6~--6--7--9--10--12~--15--12--10--9~--9~--10~------- Progression: Intro x14 Riff 1 x2 Riff 2 x1 Riff 1 x2 Riff 2 x1 Riff 1 x2 Riff 3 With : Fill 1 Fill 1 Revolution in their minds, the children start to march Fill 1 Against the world in which they have to live in Fill 1 Oh the hate that's in their hearts.
