== ARTIST: O.A.R ==
== SONG: Black Rock ==
== ALBUM: The Wanderer ==
== TAB BY: Hefty Baggs ==
=========================
At least two guitars are used in "Black Rock". I tried to show
this by connecting the tab bars as seen directly below. NOTE:
the amount of time spanded is not represented. If a chord for
guitar 2 is showed during a certain note, it doesn't mean that
that is when the chord is strummed. Listen to the song to get
the rhythm and timing down.
Also, the solo isn't perfect, but should give you guys an idea
of where to go from here. You can be sure to see an updated
version of this tab in the near future.

On the Black Rock, is where I spend my time
writing a memory, or writing a rhyme
thinking about what is right or wrong
On the Black Rock, is where I like to go
after a long night, coming home from a show
and that's where, I write my song
all day long, the Black Rock
Sometimes, I just look around
take in the feeling, coming out from the ground
but thats just something I do sometimes
And then I just, come out the door
to take in the wind coming off of the shore
and thats just what I'm doing tonight
On the Black Rock, is where I spend my time
writing a memory, or writing a rhyme
thinking about what is right or wrong
On the Black Rock, is where I like to go
after a long night, coming home from a show
and that's where, I write my song
all day long, the Black Rock
[solo]
When you are, on your own
not speaking out is like fighting alone
and that is the worst damn way to fight
And when you are, scared no more
reach your hand out and just open the door
and thats just what we're doing tonight
On the Black Rock, is where I spend my time
writing a memory, or writing a rhyme
thinking about what is right or wrong
On the Black Rock, is where I like to go
after a long night, coming home from a show
and that's where, I write my song
all day long, the Black Rock
