Iron Man (The Real Version)
Black Sabbath
Words and Music by:
Frank Iommi, John Osbourne
William Ward, and Terence Butler
Now, I know that there are alot of versions of this there are
out there. But I promise you that this is the real version that they
play when performing. I know because I got it strait out of the
book, and I have been playing it, and it is absolutely PERFECT!!!
Ignore everything else!!
Also... you may have to listen to the song some to get the timing
down. Have Fun, and ROCK ON!!!
/= slide up
\= slide down
Intro thingy:
low E l--0^\----------^0--l*
*this is done by struming the E then pushing down on the string
behind the nut (the thing that holds the strings near the winders)
