FROM THE ALBUM NO MORE TEARS- "MR. TINKERTRAIN"
Epic Records, 1981
-words & music by Ozzy Osborne, Zakk Wylde, Randy Castillo, Michael
Inez, John Purdell
-tabbed by Evan Gavry


I've been looking for a tab of this very cool Ozzy tune for a couple of 
months and couldn't find one, so I finally just sat down and figured it out. 
  This is my first tab, so be gentle, ok?

LEGEND:
^^=vibrato
H =hammer-on
P =pull-off
. =palm mute
x =fret hand muting
PH=pinch harmonic
TR=trill
\ =slide down
/ =slide up
B =bend(assume full bend if not noted)

Tuned 1/2 step down
6=Eb
5=Ab
4=Db
3=Gb
2=Bb
1=Eb

FIG 1.

Music box part arranged for guitar
(play with a clean tone, chorus.  It sounds cool if you turn the
speed and depth up a little more on the chorus in this part than
you would normally)

|---3-2-3---2-3---3-2-3-5-3-2----3-2-3------------6-6-5-3------|
|-5-------5-----5--------------5-------5--3-5-3-1--------------|
|--------------------------------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------------------------------|

Repeat 3 times and slow to a stop the fourth time through



FIG 2.

Overdrive distortion kicks in

(it sounds like the chords should change
when you let this next part ring,
but the change is in the bass part)

                 . . . . . ^^^

|-9----9----9----9-9-8-7-6-5--|
|-7----7----7----7-7-6-5-4-3--|

Repeat twice


FIG 3.

Repeat 3 times                   Last time through

BRIDGE:

Only the chords here, perhaps someone could help me out...

|-7--5--3--2-|
|-7--5--3--2-|
|-8--6--4--3-|
|-9--7--5--4-|
|-9--7--5--4-|
|-7--5--3--2-|


Listen to the CD (for the timing and because it's an awesome CD)

For anyone who doesn't know how to do pinch harmonics (which Zakk uses 
extensively), I generally strike the note with the nail of the index finger 
on my pick hand, dragging my thumb slightly over the string after I strike 
it.  It requires a very subtle touch but it produces an awesome sound and I 
recommend taking the time to get it right because it just sounds so damn 
cool.
