Intro: E G Am C x3 E G Am C E G Am I never wear white C E G Am White is for virgins C E G Am Children in summer C E G Am Brides in the park. C E G Am My color is black black black C E G Am Black is for secrets C E G Am Outlaws and dancers C E G Am For the poet in the dark. Interlude: (from the E 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 E 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: E G Am C x3 E G Am C E G Am I never wear white C E G Am White is too blinding C E G Am Always reminding C E G Am Of the innocent who fall C E G Am My color is black black black C E G Am For the crone, and the bastard C E G Am The schoolgirl in uniform C E G Am The servant in the hall. Interlude: C E 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. E Dsus2 My color is black black black Cmaj7 Am7 Like the gangster and widow E Dsus2 It's the shade and the shadow Cmaj7 Am7 It's the depth into your eye Solo: E G Am C x3 C E G Am C E G Am My color is black black black black black Outro: C E G Am C E G Am C E G Am C E (last E 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.
