Artist : Gob Song :Paint it Black Tabed By The Great Calixto Ok, this song is a cover song , originally from rolling stones , lots of bands have tried to cover this song but no one does it as good as Gob. Ive seen a lot of tabs for this song and none of them are correct they all suck I assure you that my tab is 100 % accurate . Ok there are two guitars in this song , but you can play it on one guitar all you have to do is drop high E string half step ( Eb), and low E one full step (D) Intro: Eb
