This is one of the bests Black Sabbath's songs, but i don't think that the

geral public likes it, 'cause i haven't seen the tab for this song anywhere!!

It's in the same "line" of Black Sabbath's songs, it consists in a lot of

little riffs, which are (In order of appearance):

-------------------------------------------------------

Hand of Doom - Black Sabbath, from the album PARANOID

-------------------------------------------------------

What you gonna do? Time's caught up with you

Now you wait your turn, you know there's no return

Take your written rules, you join the other fools

Turn to something new, now it's killing you

First it was the bomb, Vietnam napalm

Disillusioning, you push the needle in

From life you escape, reality's that way

Colours in your mind satisfy your time

Oh you, you know you must be blind

To do something like this

To take the sleep that you don't know

You're giving Death a kiss,

Oh, little fool now

Your mind is full of pleasure

Your body's looking ill

To you it's shallow leisure

So drop the acid pill, don't stop to think now

You're having a good time baby

But that won't last

Your mind's all full of things

You're living too fast

go out enjoy yourself

Don't bottle it in

You need someone to help you

To stick the needle in, yeah

Now you know the scene, your skin starts turning green

Your eyes no longer seeing life's reality

Push the needle in, face death's sickly grin

Holes are in your skin, caused by deadly pin

Head starts spinning 'round, you fall down to the ground

Feel your body heave, Death's hands starts to weave

It's too late to turn, you don't want to learn

Price of life you cry, now you're gonna die!

Sorry if it has mistakes about english, it's my first tablature and I

think that it certainly has language errors...but you can understand anyway...
