This song has a lot of choir/violin passages, but I think I managed
to pick out more or less all of the guitar.

DIARY OF A MADMAN
Ozzy Osbourne

Album: Diary of a Madman
Tabbed by: n0e
Email: n0e@nerdshack.com

I worked very hard on making this tab accurate. However, this was ear transcribed (I
don't even have the TAB book) so if there is a mistake just leave a comment.

=================================================

Gtr. 1
6-String Electric (Clean/Reverb)
Half-Step Down (low to high: Eb Ab Db Gb Bb eb)

Gtr. 2
6-String Electric (Overdrive)
Half-Step Down (low to high: Eb Ab Db Gb Bb eb)

Gtr. 3 (only plays solo)
6-String Electric (Overdrive/Reverb)
Half-Step Down (low to high: Eb Ab Db Gb Bb eb)

=================================================

+++++
INTRO
+++++

This part is really easy. All you need to do is memorize the chord shapes and you got
To see all the shapes and get tips on fingering positions, go all the way to the bottom of

PRELUDE
+++++++

The best way to position your hands for this is to bar your first finger across the 3
4th strings and use your ring finger and pinkie to hit the 4s and 5s on the G string (respectively).

This is one of my favorite parts of the song :) I starts off just like the prelude but
it drops down to E minor and does some cool fills.

Here is where it drops to E minor. The fill might sound backwards to you if you play
with the CD (it sure sounded wrong to me at first), but if you slow it down you can tell that
it's right.

Here's the solo. The rhythm for the solo is the same as verse 1 and 2 but I didn't put it
in because it was hard to fit it the the other notes. This is 100% correct I promise ;)
