Deep Purple - Child In Time tab

Child In Time
(Blackmore/Gillan/Glover/Lord/Paice)

INTRO:
Clear sound
Softly
* = (legato) = let the chord/note ring 'till the next chord is picked
> = accent the note/chord
b = bend
p = pull off
h = hammer on
/\= bend and release
~~= vibrato

                   *               *               *

 Then repeat the whole riff.

VERSE and CHORUS:
You've got to repeat INTRO only. The difference is in the volume of
your guitar, listen to the record to fix it. Also, listen to the song attentively
to catch R.Blackmore's tricks w/tremelo, hammer-ons and pull-offs, I'm too lazy
to show them all.

During some bars of the chorus you'll play following :

                   *               *                    *                    *
