Black Man Chords & Tabs

Manchester Orchestra Chords & Tabs

Version: 1 Type: Tab

Black Man Tab

   
This is only my 2nd attempt at tabbing a song.  I used a video of a live performance as
guide so the actual recording (especially the solo) may end up being different.  The
link is:

You'll have to figure the strumming pattern out yourself, but i don't think it's very hard.

Tune guitar half a step down.

then start with the open E string again but instead of going to the 8th fret finish the

note: during the 2nd half of the verse, a second guitar plays something like this:
|--------------------------------------------|
|---9---9------------------------------------|
|--9--9-11----9---8---6----------------------|
|-----------10---9---7--------6--5-----------|
|----------------------------7--7---7--6--4--|
|----------------------------------8--7--5---|
if you have only one guitar, you can just play this during the 2nd half of the verse if
think it sounds better.
