PARANOID By Black Sabbath Tab/Chords by Chris Sheppard (skatewey) Heard an acoustic version of this classic by a covers band on a local radio station & was inspired to create my own spin. As a guide, use a strum pattern which kind of mimics the lyrics a bit. I play the G D Em sequence throughout with single short up strums to match lyric timing. If you listen to the original album version the power chord fills are obvious. Play as a slightly slower funkier acoustic version of the original... Use a capo for different keys...
