Black Sabbath - Children of the Grave

From the CD 'Master of Reality' 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. And yes, I got The solo from a magazine (Guitar, March 1996).

E -> c# B -> G# G -> E D -> B A -> F# E -> C#

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. [Fill 1] They're tired of being pushed around [Fill 1] and told just what to do.

And love comes flowing through, yeah!

Children of tomorrow live in [Fill 1] the tears that fall today. [Fill 1] Will the sunrise of tomorrow bring in [Fill 1] peace in any way? [Fill 1] Must the world live in the shadow [Fill 1] of atomic fear? [Fill 1] Can they win the fight for peace [Fill 1]

With [Riff 4]:

Or will they disappear? Yeah!
