Song

"Heart Of Gold"

Zakk Wylde's Black Label Society

Alcohol Fueled Brewtality

Tabbed by: Chris Payne (chris@neomia.com)

From: http://www.BlackLabelSsociety.net/

*Tune down 1/2 step

*Listen to record for timing

*This is pretty correct, at least I think so, it sounds almost 100% accurate.

This is pretty much the way that I play it, you can format it into your own

style if you want, the information is basically all right here.

*KEY --

d = down-stroke

u = up-stroke

h = hammer on

p = pull off

/ = slide up

\ = slide down

. = palm mute

x = mute

Electric --

*I'm not sure if these chords are exactly right, but the bass notes are

correct, take it from there. I think he may be tuned even below 1/2 step.

Chorus --

*It's kind of hard to tell the strumming pattern of the chorus, considering

he uses a distorted electric guitar over the acoustic for part of it. Here

are the chords though.

"Keeps me searchin' for a heart of gold..."
