================================================
Comments: Paranoid, which according to the legend
was written in five minutes(!), is a very easy song
to play and it's ideal for beginners.

Notice that you can play it in various positions,
for example instead of using the E and A string to
play the power chords you can play the exact same
notes on the A and D stirng.

In the end of the song, notice the variation of
the Riff 1. Instead of playing the last eighth
you will just have to hold the previous note for
another eighth.
