Children Of The Grave

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 -> B -> G -> D -> A -> E -> Jimmy Pena - [email protected] | = 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 With Riff 3: Revolution in their minds, Fill 1 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.
