Version: 4 Type: Tab

Black Or White Tab

   
This is a great Michael Jackson piece... Most tabs on the net were wrong and 
aggravated me so I decided to tab it out myself with the real chords used. 
They can be played in this octave or an octave lower.

Riff 1 - Intro & Verse ( The (0)'s are ghost notes… Play them if u think they 
sound good)Just not sure about that Bm!? 


      E5	A5	      Emaj    Bm    Emaj
e|------------(0)---(0)---(0)---------(0)--(0)-----|
B|------------14-14-14-14-14----12----12---12------|
G|----9\------14-14-14-14-14----13----11---13------|
D|----9\------14-14-14-14-14----14----12---14------|
A|----7\-------x--x--x--x--x-----x-----x----x------|
E|---(0)-------------------------------------------|

Pre-chorus - The little staccato chords played at the end of each phrase is 
A5 (Kickin Dirt in my eye…)

and play the higher Em staccato.
