 Finally, song flow and lyrics (Figure 1 = Figure 1A + Figure 1B)
 
 [INTRO] X4
 w/Figure 1
 Finished with my woman cause she couldn't help me with my mind
 People think I'm insane because I am frowning all the time
 [Figure 2] X2
 w/Figure 1
 All day long I think of things but nothing seems to satisfy
 Think I'll lose my mind if I don't find something to pacify
 w/Figure 3
 Can you help me? Are you for my brain? Oh yeah!
 [Figure 1A] X2
 w/Figure 1
 I need someone to show me the things in life that I can't find
 I can't see the things that make true happiness I must be blind
 [Solo over Figure 1A]
 [Figure 1A] X2
 w/Figure 1
 Make a joke and I will sigh and you will laugh and I will cry
 Happiness I cannot feel and love to me is so unreal
 [Figure 2] X2
 w/Figure 1A
 And so as you hear these words telling you now of my state
 I tell you to enjoy life I wish i could but it's too late
 [Figure 1]

Subject: TAB: Paranoid (solo) by Black Sabbath

The file for "Paranoid" by Black Sabbath already exists at OLGA. It includes the
tab and chords and lists these three authors: Babis Patrikakis (bpatr@ntua.gr),
Steve Portigal (steve@snowhite.cis.uoguelph.ca) and Ric Kelly
(ric@achenar.demon.co.uk). However, this file does not contain the solo,
which I have tabbed here.

tablature explanation:

b--> bend (to the equivalent of the next number)
r--> release bend
h--> hammer-on
p--> pull-off
=--> hold bend
/--> slide up
--> slide down

notes: -All the notes are held until the next note is played,
except for the last note, which is staccato.
       -The numbers on top of the tab indicate the beat, so you know
approximately the length of each note. However, it's probably easier
to just listen to the song.
