G low E It's not from the sun, but the starlight that's so far away high E Above the Devil's garden G A B (v.2) The fertile soil of poisoned hearts Fed by tears and nighttime rain Under Transylvanian moon Grows the flower bred from pain Death is pure - life is not So ask yourself, what do you want? As for me, well I want you So pick the black rose and let its thorns cut you (chorus) (with out the extra G A B) (Bridge) B D A G (4x) F# A (Chorus) ___________________________________________________________________ notes: Contrary to belief, this song is in drop d. You can hear the d in the intro. The upright bass doesn't have frets so it's pointless to use the tab method To find the notes, I held down on the fret board until the G registered on the tuner and put a dot with a marker on the side of the neck for quick reference and then again on A to simulate the 5th fret(this was in standard(EADG) tuning before I dropped it.) I suggest watching the video at tigerarmy.com to watch Geoff's rhythm. This was a big help. Listen to the song to catch the slides and fills between notes, remember,this is rockabilly.
