Tabbed by Martin - MartinJoanAdam@Hotmail.com
Title - A National Acrobat 1974
Artist - Black Sabbath
Album - Sabbath Bloody Sabbath
4/4 Time
Notation    h = hammer on
            p = pull-off
            b = bend
            \ = slide down
            / = slide  up
            . = staccato, don't let ring
            r = rest
            x = mute notes

Note - I worked this out on an acoustic guitar
       So it is bound to have inaccuracies,
       (especially with the hammer on and pull off)
       Please add corrections
