E E (na sétima casa)- Asus2 Asus2 (na 7 casa)- 3x -

Asus2 Asus2


E E Asus2 Asus2
Sheets of empty canvas
E E Asus2 Asus2
untouched sheets of clay
E E Asus2 Asus2
Were laid spread out before me
E E
as her body once did

E E Asus2 Asus2
All five horizons,
E E Asus2 Asus2
revolved around her soul as the earth to the sun
E E A A
Now the air I tasted and breathed,
E E
has taken a turn

C C Em Em
Oooh and all I taught her was... everything
C C Em Em
Oooh all I know she gave me all... that she wore
D D
And now my bitter hands
C C
Chafe beneath the clouds
Em Em
Of what was everything
D D C C
All the pictures have all been washed in black
Em Em
Tattooed everything.

E E Asus2 Asus2
I take a walk outside
E E Asus2 Asus2
I'm surrounded by some kids at play
E E Asus2 Asus2
I can feel their laughter
E E
So why do I swear?
C C Em Em
Ooh and twisted thoughts that spin round my head
C C Em Em
Oooh I'm spinning,oh I'm spinning how quick the sun can drop away
D D
And now my bitter hands
C C
cradle broken glass
Em Em
of what was everything
D D C C
All the pictures have all been washed in black
Em Em
Tattooed everything
D D
All the love gone bad
C C
turned my world to black
D D
tattooed all I see
C C
All that I am
Em Em D D C C
All that I'll beeeeee yeaahheah

Em Em D D C C
Hum...uh

Em Em
I know someday you'll have a beautiful life
D D
I know you'll be a star,
C C Em Em D D
In somebody elses sky, whyhy, whyhy whyhy
C C
can't it be, oh can't it be mine.

Em Em D D C C...
Tchruruu.... Yeah ... uhh

The Asus2 was really smart! Sounds like it has much more body. For anyone trying to figure it out, it's 2-4-5-2 (bar the second fret)

About this song: Black

"Black" is a song by the American rock band Pearl Jam. The song is the fifth track on the band's debut album, Ten (1991). Featuring lyrics written by vocalist Eddie Vedder and music written by guitarist Stone Gossard, "Black" is a soliloquy by a broken-hearted man, who is remembering his absent lover. After Ten became a commercial success in 1992, Pearl Jam's record label Epic Records urged the group to release the song as a single. The band refused, citing the song's personal nature.
