Love is on my mind - The Black Box Revelation
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Stefan De Graef

Tuning: E standard (key of D)
The song is mostly based around a 12 bar D blues, it follows the D D G D A G D D
pattern throughout the whole song. For the tone he uses his regular Telecaster
with a fuzz and possibly an octave for the verse and chorus parts.
Intro: keep hitting these notes but bend the 12 on the G string a little more each time
so you eventually get a full unison bend:
