Original Video

Black Sabbath were an English rock band formed in Birmingham in 1968 by guitarist Tony Iommi, drummer Bill Ward, bassist Geezer Butler and vocalist Ozzy Osbourne. They are often cited as pioneers of heavy metal music. The band helped define the genre with releases such as Black Sabbath (1970), Paranoid (1970), and Master of Reality (1971). The band had multiple line-up changes following Osbourne's departure in 1979, with Iommi being the only constant member throughout its history. (Wikipedia)

I am Iron Man!

[Main Riff]

B5 D5 E5 G5 D5 E5 x2

[Verse 1]
B5  D5          E5
Has he lost his mind?
G5            D5    E5
Can he see or is he blind?
B5  D5         E5
Can he walk at all
G5             D5      E5
Or if he moves will he fall?

Is he alive or dead?
G5              D5         E5
Has he thoughts within his head?
B5    D5            E5
We'll just pass him there
G5            D5   E5
Why should we even care?

He was turned to steel
G5              D5    E5
In the great magnetic field
B5   D5          E5
When he traveled time
G5             D5 E5
For the future of mankind

[Chorus]
E5
   Nobody wants him
D5                       B5
   He just stares at the world

   Planning his vengeance
D5                     B5
   That he will soon unfurl

For Iron Man to spread fear

Vengeance from the grave

Kills the people he once saved

Iron Man lives again!
