bar/barre chords, so here it is. Note this is not how Nik Freitas "The Greatest" plays 
for that see Ver. 1.

Song: Big Black Nothing

CAPO 2


Intro: Em


Em
Big black nothing
                 G
Fooling everyone

Big black nothing
                                Am
Put a halo ‘round what you’ve done
                  D
‘Cause a big black nothing
            Em
Is coming up


Em
Would you be my
                             G
Would you still be my friend

If I told you
                 Am
It’s all just pretend
                   D
‘Cause a big black nothing
            Em
Is not the end

Interlude:
Em – G

Em – G
(Ooh-ooh)
D – Em
(Ooh-ooh)


Em
Sing me something (Big black nothing)
                    G
Something I can feel

Sing it louder (Big black nothing)
                            Am
The whole world wants to hear
                   D
‘Cause a big black nothing (Big black nothing)
                 Em
Was made to appeal


Em – G
(Ooh-ooh)
Em – G
(Ooh-ooh)
D – Em
(Ooh-ooh)


D
Lock your doors
Am
Hide the keys
C
Flipping channels
B
Through the streets
     Em
Well all this news
     Am                 C
Just makes me scared of you
      Em
And you
      Em
And you

(Guitar Solo) Em G Em

D
Board up the windows
Am
Unplug the phone
C
Make it look like
B
Nobody’s home
    Em
Well I’m real scared
     Am                  C
But so prepared for the worst
             Em
Yeah the worst

(Organ solo) Em

Em
Big black nothing
                G
Fooling everyone

Big black nothing
                                 Am
Put a halo ‘round what you’ve done
                     D
It’s just a big black nothing

(Finish on) Em
