BLACK SABBATH
THE WARNING
BLACK SABBATH (1970)
written by Dmochowski, Alex/hickling, Victor/moreshead, John/dunbar, Aynsley.
This is just a chord interpretation, although the 
song doesn't actually use these chords
these really just go along with a similar rhythm that 
the bass does to compliment the lead as there is no rhythm
