      Natural harmonics = in this case; just touch the strings right over the 12:th fret 
                              And strike the strings

      b = bend at the fret before the "b" to the pitch of the tone after the "b"

      h = hammer-on

      p = pull-off

      / = legato-slide upwards the neck
          (strike the first note and slide up to the second tone WITHOUT striking the string(s)

      \ = legato slide downwards the neck (see /)

      ****** = I don't know if this is right, it could be:

                 -12-10-12-10-/12-/-14 or -12-10-12-10-12-/14 or -12-10-12-10-12-h-14

                  test all the versions above and play the one you think feels best

nice tab, cept tony liked to play on the 5th and 6th string. when i first learned this song i downloaded the video and he clearly plays it like this:
PART A
A:-14-14-14-14-14-14-14-14-14-14-14-14-14-14-14-14
E:12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12

D:------------------------12--
A:12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-10-12--14--17
E:10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10----10--12--15

PART B
A:-14---------------10--12--14
E:-12----------------8--10--12

the solo is also on the lower strings. the sound is the same, but if u want to play it like iommi did, play it on the lower strings.
nevertheless nice tab

ethan	January 26, 2004, 7:13
oops, pretend that part A is lined up right to make a power chord ( A:14-14-14 ) ( E:12-12-12 )

ethan	January 26, 2004, 7:17
ok, this is the last comment... i promise... when u start the solo u should be starting with ur 3rd finger pre-bending the 4th string on the 14th fret. ok. i think im done now..
