g|---------------------|
d|---------------------|
a|--------------6------|
e|-0-0-0-0-0-0--4------|

e|---------------------|
b|---------------------|
g|---------------------|
d|------------9--------|
a|------------7-6------|
e|-0-0-0-0-0-0--4------|
...or so i belive. However, I'm fairly sure the Melvins played it this way in their cover. Great tab though!

It doesn't sound heavy enough.
Try:

|---------------3--|
|-2-2-2-2-2-2---3--|
|-0-0-0-0-0-0---1--|
Probably not right, but sound OK on my guitar.

i saw it in the video of symptom of the universe live in 1978

It goes...

E5,E5,E5,E5,E5,E5,Bb5
E5,E5,E5,E5,E5,F#5,Bb5

Then

Bb5......D5.....A5

That's the way I've always played it. If it doesn't sound heavy enough reminder Tony Iommi tunes down to C#/Db.

For ultra heavyness use two notes...don't use octaves in any of the chords.

Don't play the e5 chord in the seventh position play it in the second position (E,B)

I don't know any of the other riffs.

**EDIT** my last comment had a mistake it goes from Bb to F# in the intro.

It goes...

E5,E5,E5,E5,E5,E5,Bb5
E5,E5,E5,E5,E5,Bb5,F#5

Then

Bb5......D5.....A5

Don't play the e5 chord in the seventh position play it in the second position (E,B)

I don't know any of the other riffs.

If anyone has the tabs for Tony Iommi's crazy jazz section in this song...please let me know.
