Black or White Michael Jackson
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…)
( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/m/michael_jackson/black_or_white_tab_ver_4.html )
[A5] [B5]
e|-------------- --------------| B|-------------- --------------| G|----2-----2--- --4-----2-----| D|----2-----2--- --4-----2-----| A|----0-----0--- --2-----0-----| E|-------------- --------------|
The Heavier Part - Let the Low E5 ring out when you're strumming it...
and play the higher Em staccato.
