Paranoid

Words & Music:

Anthony Iommi, John Osbourne, William Ward & Terence Butler (Black Sabbath)

 

This is fully transcribed in the July 2006 issue of Guitar One.

 

E5                                D5               G5   D5 E5

Finished with my woman 'cause she couldn't help me with my mind.

E5                              D5            G5  D5  E5

People think I'm insane because I am frowning all the time.

 

INTERLUDE:  E5  |  C5  D5  |  E5  |  E5  |

 

All day long, I think of things, but nothing seems to satisfy.

Think I'll lose my mind if I don't find something to pacify.

 

BRIDGE:

E5                D5                  E5         D5   E5

Can you help me?  Thought you were my friend.  Oh, yeah!

 

I need someone to show me the things in life that I can't find.

I can't see the things that make true happiness, I must be blind.

 

INSTRUMENTAL SOLO OVER VERSE CHORDS:

 

Make a joke and I will sigh and you will laugh and I will cry.

Happiness I cannot feel, so love for me is so unreal.

 

And so as you hear these words telling you now of my state.

I tell you to enjoy life, I wish I could but it's too late.

 

E5   D5  G5  D5  E5  |  G5  D5  E5
