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

Dm             F      Dm
Now the first day that I met you
F       Dm        F
I was looking in the sky
Dm                  F
When the sun turned all a blur
F     Dm                  F
And the thunderclouds rolled by
       Gm                             (Barre chord/*Slide up)
The sea began to shiver
                    Bb
And the wind began to moan
G             Dm
It must've been a sign for me
            F
To leave you well alone
D     F
I was born without you, baby
F#    G                        Dm
But my feelings were a little bit too strong
Dm   FDmFDm
././    
F           Dm       F
You never said you love me
Dm        F    Dm     F
And I don't believe you can
Dm              F
'Cause I saw you in a dream
Dm             F
And you were with another man
Gm                     Eb
You looked so cool and casual
Gm
And I tried to look the same
Bb       Gm           Dm
But now, I've got to love you
F        Dm         F
Tell me who am I to blame?
D    F
I was born without you, baby
F#     G                              D
But my feelings were a little bit too strong

F         Dm           F
Now the whole wide world is movin'
Dm                 F
'Cause there's iron in my heart
Dm           F
I just can't keep from cryin'
Dm              F
'Cause you say we've got to part
Gm           Bb           G             Bb
Sorrow grips my voice as I stand here all alone
Dm                   F
And watch you slowly take away
F          Dm     F
A love I've never known
F
I was born without you, baby
G                             D
But my feelings were a little bit too strong
