Artist: Ozzy Osbourne
Album: The Ozzman Cometh
Tabbed by: Jim Barringer
Note: This tab is based on the bass tab to this song, which was written by
[email protected]. I thought I should give him credit, because although I did
do most of this, I built on his work. Furthermore, my guitar is tuned a full
step down at the moment due to bad string choice, so take that into consideration
when determining playing key. You may need to transpose up or down a few steps
accordingly.
Intro: synth and bass.
Verse 1: Clean guitar playing bar chords
E F# C C
I have fallen from grace and my ashes are scattered
E F# C C
No longer a passion and flesh
E F# C C
My flame is alive though my wings have been shattered
E F# C C
They lay my body to rest
Prechorus: Clean or mild distortion, depending on your taste, and continue to use
bar chords
E F# G A
My spirit is breathing my senses are pure
E F# G A
Like reincarnation my soul will endure
A (many times)
Ohhhh
2 different ways to play chorus, one is correct according to the CD but sounds
funny, the other is backwards but sounds better if you’re playing alone
Way 1: My favorite
E F# G# Bb
Back on earth (you feel me)
E F# G# Bb
Back on earth (reveal me)
E F# G# Bb
Back on earth
E F# G#
The spirit it never lets go
Way 2: Accurate version
A G F# F
Back on earth (you feel me)
A G F# F
Back on earth (reveal me)
A G F# F
Back on earth
F G# A
The spirit it never lets go
Lyrics to the rest of the song:
(Verse riff)
Like fountains of sorrow the faces are crying
I’m witnessing all of their pain
Death is so final for only the living
The spirit will always remain
(Prechorus riff)
Bury me deep just to cover my sins
My soul is redeemed as the journey begins
Ohhh
(Chorus riff)
Back on earth
(you feel me)
Back on earth
(reveal me)
Back on earth
The spirit it never lets go
(Prechorus riff up half an octave or so)
Another dimension, a river of light
I’m twisting,I’m turning, my soul is in flight
Ohhhhh
Ohhhhh
(chorus riff)
Back on earth
(you feel me)
Back on earth
(reveal me)
Back on earth
(still breathing)
Back on earth
(re living)
This is my second tab, so any corrections or revisions are welcome, I just ask
that you credit me if you rewrite it. Thanks! 🙂
