Well here's a shot at it. I'm not sure if this is correct, so any
suggestions to the transcription would be appreciated.

cobain@salmon.maths.tcd.ie
Here's the solo as appeared in a guitar mag in may 92.
hope it helps......
^v^v^v --> vibrato?
/ apperars on top-right of notes denoting a bend up.
If followed by \ hold note, but release bend.
15^17--> hammer on
( ) --> ghost note or let ring after a bend
Yeah,ok, it's shit tab, but that's as close as I'm getting..

*** Black
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

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)
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.

These are the chords that I play for Black. Most of the chords are just
variations of major chords. You gotta listen for the changes in the song
because otherwise you won't get the changes right. This is the intro part,
also used for the verses. You gotta also follow the strumming that he does.
I'm just going to write the chords that he is strumming on.

Just play that for the verse. For the bridge there are only two chords.
The first chord is C, I like to play first position C. Then the second chord
is Emin, I also play first position Emin with F# on the first string.
C C Emin

:---3---:--3---:---2---:---2---:---- /
:---3---:--3---:-------:-------:---- /
This is the Chorus. And just repeats itself. It is very simple, only three
chords: Emin, D and C. I play these chords in first position also. Although,
during the second chorus as it goes on you might notice that there is a slight
variation. The only thing being done is that instead of going from C back up
to Emin he is going from C up to D, back down to C, then up to Emin.
Emin D C

My apologies for mistakes. No guitar in front of me.
OPening riff is played on twelve string. This is the way I play it on a six
string. (Repeat twice).

The chords during the end of the song repeat F--G--A. (Sometimes Am)
I don't know exactly how the solos go at the end, but I could figure it out I
suppose if everyone desired.
The end riff is played on a twelve-string bass, as many people pointed out. Here
it's arranged for a six-string guitar.
