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

Subject: Ozzy Osbourne transcript

Here's my transcription of "I Don't Want to Change the World" by Ozzy Osbourne.

Written by: Ozzy Osbourne, Zakk Wylde, Randy Castillo, Lemmy Kelmister

As appears on Ozzy Osbourne's "No More Tears"

D# tuning

Legend: / = Slide up

\ = Slide down

^ = hammer on / pull off

( ) = bend

ph = pinch harmonic

pm = palm muting

MAIN RIFF:

D# |-----------------------------------|---------------------------|
A# |-----------------------------------|---------------------------|
F# |---2--------2--------------5--5/7--|---2--------2-----2--------|
C# |---2--------2--------------5--5/7--|---2--------2-----2--------|
G# |---0--x--x--0--x--x--x--x--3--3/5--|---0--x--x--0--x--0--------|
D# |-----------------------------------|---------------------------|
 |----------------------------------|-------------------------------------------|
 |----------------------------------|-------------------------------------------|
 |---2--------2--------------5-/-7--|---2--------2--------5(7)ph-------5(7)ph---|
 |---2--------2--------------5-/-7--|---2--------2------------------------------|
 |---0--x--x--0--x--x--x--x--3-/-5--|---0--x--x--0--x--x------------------------|
 |----------------------------------|-------------------------------------------|

The whole song primarely goes along those lines... When he comes to the refrain, it

switches to:

pm.......

 |---------------|-------|----------------|-----------------------------------------|
 |---------------|-------|----------------|------------------12(14)--12-------------|
 |--2------------|---0---|---0---------0--|--2---------2-----------------11--9--11--|
 |--2--------2---|---0---|---0---------0--|--2---------2----------------------------|
 |--0--------2---|-------|----------------|--0---------0----------------------------|
 |---------------|---3---|---3---------3--|-----------------------------------------|

I don't want to change...

 |-------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------|
 |---------------------3---|---3---------3----3--------------------------------------|
 |--2------------------0---|---0---------0----0---12(14)ph-----12(14)ph-----12(14)ph-|
 |--2-----------2------0---|---0---------0----0--------------------------------------|
 |--0-----------2----------|--------------------------------0------------0-----------|
 |---------------------3---|---3---------3----3--------------------------------------|

Then, right before the solo:

 |------------------------------------------------------------------|
 |------------------------------------------------------------------|
 |------------------------------------------------------4-----2-----|
 |--2---4---4---4-4-4-4---2---4---4-4---2---4---4-4-2---4-----2-----|
 |--2---4---4---4-4-4-4---2---4---4-4---2---4---4-4-2---2-----0-----|
 |--0---2---2---2-2-2-2---0---2---2-2---0---2---2-2-0---------------|

I haven't got around to the solo, yet. Besides, it's always better to stay along the

lines of the original version, but express yourself by incorporating some original

material in the solo (taping, etc).
