For all those BOC fans out there--BOTH of yu' >:-}  --or for those

     just curious about "vintage metal": hey, Sabbath wasn't the only

     band that Metallica, et al. cut their teeth on. . . .



   --transcr./tabbed tcg, 197?[yeh, I'm old]-1994

   --fuzz box: all . . . [hell, I use TWO fuzz boxes]

   --regarding "key" names: major-minor distinction often meaningless,

       since rhythm guitar usually playing "chords" with no third

       ("power chords"), and the leads in the "major" keys are often

       Mixolydian mode or pentatonic minor. . . (In "straight" minor-key

       tunes, Buck Dharma shows a preference for the Aeolian mode

       [=minor pentatonic, plus "tasty" major 2nd and minor 6th steps].)

   --Disclaimer: these are hacker's versions, admittedly--above all,

       trust your ear . . .
