I saw a request for some old Black Sabbath tunes last week, and so
I prepared this transcription of their classic "Warpigs". If someone
is interested in the solo of the song or in the transcription of 
"Iron Man" or "Paranoid", let me know and I'll post them as soon as I
can.
                                  Hail!

As almost all of Black Sabbath's tunes it consists of some basic riffs
and a solo (or two). This one however contains also some fills. These
riffs and fills are:

p = Pull-off
s = Slide

All three notes of the 4p2p0 lick in Fill 1 should equal the time of a
quarter. Thus, they should look like this in a standard transcription:

__3__

4 2 0

Timing is exact with 2 '-'s an 8th, 4 '-'s a quarter etc.

The song flow and lyrics are:

 Well thats my first attempt at tabbing so the timeing is probobly wrong
 but all the notes, chords, feedback, and tremolo is there..  

 Ooops one thing I forgot and i have no idea how to show in tab...  
 hope you can read real music...  Heres the sharps in regular musical
 notation...
