 Black Sabbath - Children of the Grave
 
 From the CD 'Master of Reality'
 Written by Iommi/Ward/Butler/Osbourne
 Warner Bros. Records 2562-2
 
 Tune down 1 and 1/2 steps for this song. I think every song on
 "Master of Reality" was tuned down in this manner. Maybe. The key is C#,
 or E if you imagine it being played with standard tuning. You can play
 this song exactly like a song in E, and you'll be in key.
 
 e -> c#
 B -> G#
 G -> E
 D -> B
 A -> F#
 E -> C#
