WARPIGS
Black Sabbath
As almost all of Black Sabbath's tunes it consists of some basic riffs
and a solo (or two). This one however contains also some fills. These
riffs and fills are:
RIFF 1
RIFF2
tr.
RIFF 3
RIFF 4
RIFF 5
RIFF 6A RIFF 6C (end of song)
RIFF 6B
RIFF 7
FILL 1 FILL 2 FILL 3
tr.
p = Pull-off
s = Slide
All three notes of the 4p2p0 lick in Fill 1 should equal the time of a
quarter. Thus, they should look like this in a standard transcription:
__3__
| | |
4 2 0
Timing is exact with 2 '-'s an 8th, 4 '-'s a quarter etc.
The song flow and lyrics are:

w/
Generals gathered in their masses
Just like witches at black masses
Evil minds that plot destruction
Sorcerers of death's construction
In the fields are bodies burning
As the war machine keeps turning
Death and hatred to mankind
Poisoning their brainwashed minds, Oh Lord yeah
x2
w/
Politicians hide themselves away
They only started the war
Why should they go out to fight
They leave that all to the poor
w/
Time will tell on their power minds
Making war just for fun
Treating people just like pawns in chess
Wait til the judgement day comes
(not transcribed in this post)
x2
w/
Now in darkness world stops turning
As you hear the bodies burning
No more warpigs have the power
And as God has struck the hour
Day of judgement, God is calling
On their knees the warpigs crawling
Begging mercy for their sins
Satan laughing spreads his wings, Oh Lord yeah
