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.
