A couple of articles back someone requested "Black" by Pearl Jam, so here's
how I play it. I make no statements about its correctness.
------------
Chord E A D G B E
E 0 2 2 1 0 0
A 0 0 2 2 2 0
Asus4 0 0 2 2 3 0
Em 0 2 2 0 0 0
C x 3 2 0 1 0
D x x 0 2 3 2
(N.B. Sorry if the timing on the chords is wrong, but the singer makes
it kind of hard with his timing)
Black
Pearl Jam
E A Asus4 A
Sheets of empty canvas
E A Asus4 A
untouched sheets of clay
E A
They spread out before me
E
as her body once did
E A Asus4 A
All five horizons,
E A Asus4 A
revolved around her soul (as the earth to the sun)
E A
Now the air I tasted and breathed,
E
has taken a turn (Not sure about this line)
C Em
Oooh all I know I taught her was... everything
C Em
Oooh all I know she gave all... that she wore
D
And my bitter hands
C
Shake beneath the clouds
Em
Of what was everything
D C
All the pictures have all been washed in black
Em
Tatooed everything.
E A Asus4 A
I take a walk outside
E A Asus4 A
I'm surrounded by some kids at play
E A
I can feel their laughter
E
So what can I say
C Em
Ooh all my twisted thoughts they spin round my head (I'm spinnin')
C Em
Oooh I'm spinning how quick the sun can drop awayayayayay
D
And my bitter hands
C
???? on broken glass (can't get this word)
Em
of what was everything
D C
All my pictures have all been washed in black
Em
Tatooed everything
D
All my love gone bad
C
turned my world to black
D
tatooed all I see
C
All that I am
Em
All that I'll beeeeee yeaahheah
D
I know some day you'll have a beautiful life
C
I know you'll be a sun,
Em D C
In somebody elses sky, whyhy, whyhy whyhy
Em
can't it be, can't it be in mine.

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official PEARL JAM tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
