Some explanations:
1.For the intro and RIFF 7 you must fret the low E string on the 5th
fret, prebend a whole step and then release (that's what the R means).
2.Blank columns (as in Riff 1) do not count in timing. They are used 
only to distinguish the tab numbers.

3.p = pull-off
  h = hammer-on
  ~ = vibrato
  b = bend

Song flow and lyrics:

[Intro] X3
[Riff 1] X2
w/Riff 2
Has he lost his mind? Can he see or is he blind?
Can he walk at all? Or if he moves will he fall?
[Riff 1]
w/Riff 2
Is he 'live or dead? Has he thoughts within his head?
We'll just pass him there. Why should we even care?
[Riff 3]
[Riff 1] X2
w/Riff 2
He was turned to steel in a great magnetic field
Where he traveled time for the future of mankind
w/Riff 4
Nobody wants him. He just stares at the world
[Riff 5]
w/Riff 4
Planning his vengeance that he will soon unfold
[Riff 5]
[Riff 1] X2
w/Riff 2
Now the time is here for Iron Man to spread fear
Vengeance from the grave kills all the people he once saved
w/Riff 4
Nobody wants him. They just turn their heads
[Riff 5]
w/Riff 4
Nobody hepls him. Now he has his revenge
[Riff 5]
{Double Time}
[Riff 6] X2
[Solo 1]
[Riff 6] X2
{Half Time}
[Riff 5] X2
[Riff 1] X2
w/Riff 2
Heavy bolts of lead, fills his victims full of dread
Running as fast as they can, Iron Man lives again
[Riff 3]
{Double Time. Bass enters}
[Riff 7] X2
[Riff 8A] X2
[Solo 2] (transcribed by me)
[Riff 8A] X3
[Riff 8B]

	I used another tab to make this one (i tabed solo 2), the older one was one
 tone up to this and there were many little wrong parts and others right too, and 
because of this you can find similar explanations on other tabs. 
	I still didn't transcribed solo 1 but i'll try and then i put it in the tab.
	I hope my one is right.
	Have Fun!
