Fig 1: 4 times
Fig 2
Reflects in the sky,
Fig 2
Warn you your going to die,
Etc.
Storm coming you better hide,
>From the atomic tide.
Flashes in the sky,
Turns houses in styes,
Turns people in to clay,
Radiation minds decay.
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/b/black_sabbath/electric_funeral_tab_ver_3.html ]
Fig 1: 4 times
Fig 2
Robot minds of robot slaves
Etc.
Lead them to atomic rage,
Plastic flowers melting sun,
Fading moon falls upon,
Dying worls of radiation,
Victoms of mad frustration,
Burning global poxy fire,
Like electric funeral fire.
Fig 1: 4 times
Fig 3: 5 times
Fig 4: 4 times
Fig 5
Buildings crashing down,
Fig 6
To a cracking ground,
Fig 5
Rivers turn to wood,
Fig 6
Ice melting to flood.
Fig 4: 4 times
Fig 5
Earth lies in death bed,
Fig 6
Clouds cry water dead,
Fig 5
Tearing life away,
Fig 6
Here's the burning pay.
Fig 7
Electric funeral,
Etc
Electric funeral,
Electric funeral,
Electric funeral,
Fig 8: 4 times
Fig 1: 4 times
Fig 2
And so in the sky,
Shines the electric eye,
Super-natural king,
Takes earth under his wing,
Heavens golden chous sings,
Hells angels flap their wings,
Evil souls fall to hell,
Ever trapped in burning cells.
Fig 1: fadeout
Playing notes: Fig 1 can either be played as 1 guitar using both heavy
distortion and a wah peddle, or as 2 guitars, one with wah and one with
heavy distortion. Play the rest of the song with heavy distortion.
My brother and I transcribed this, so any mistakes are our fault. If you
find any in the guitar part or the lyrics, e-mail me and I'll see what I can
do. This tab was created using the Bucket o Tab tab creation software, so
import if you got it, and if you don't download it. (I promise, it will look
better.)
