Intro: Em G Am C x3
Em G Am
C Em G Am [tab]C Em G Am White is for virgins C Em G Am Children in summer C Em G Am Brides in the park. C Em G Am My color is black black black C Em G Am Black is for secrets C Em G Am Outlaws and dancers C Em G Am For the poet in the dark.
Interlude:
(from the Em on, this part is played half muted till the last Cmaj7 - you could use power
chords, but I found
these variations sounded better and closer to the original song)
C Em Dsus2 Black is the truth Cmaj7 Am7 Of my situation. E And for those of my station Dsus2 Cmaj7 Am7 In life. All other colors lie.
Solo: Em G Am C x3
Em G Am
C Em G Am I never wear white C Em G Am White is too blinding C Em G Am Always reminding C Em G Am Of the innocent who fall C Em G Am My color is black black black C Em G Am For the crone, and the bastard C Em G Am The schoolgirl in uniform C Em G Am The servant in the hall.
Interlude:
C Em Dsus2 Black is the truth Cmaj7 Am7 Of my situation. E And for those of my station Dsus2 Cmaj7 Am7 In life. All other colors lie. Em Dsus2 My color is black black black Cmaj7 Am7 Like the gangster and widow Em Dsus2 It's the shade and the shadow Cmaj7 Am7 It's the depth into your eye
Solo: Em G Am C x3
C Em G Am C Em G Am My color is black black black black black
Outro:
C Em G Am C Em G Am C Em G Am C E (last Em is hammered on half muted as in interlude for a full measure)
Please note:
I know these tabs are not 100% correct, but might give you an idea to play around with,
like playing C H A G single stringed when changing from interlude to verse/solo (which is also done in the
original song), etc. Most
of this I found out watching the video of an acoustic live performance.
