This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

"Paranoid (Solo)"

Tabbed by: Dave N.

Did this solo by ear. Sounds about 90% right except for some of the quick stuff at the end that's hard to

decipher from the recording.
