  A couple of articles back someone requested "Black" by Pearl Jam, so here's
  how I play it.  I make no statements about its correctness.

  (N.B. Sorry if the timing on the chords is wrong, but the singer makes 
  it kind of hard with his timing)

  Pearl Jam
  
  
  E               A     Asus4 A
  Sheets of empty canvas
            E                   A Asus4 A
  untouched sheets of clay
  E                 A      
  They spread out before me
         E
  as her body once did
  
  
  E           A     Asus4 A
  All five horizons, 
            E             A                     Asus4 A
  revolved around her soul (as the earth to the sun)
  E             A                  
  Now the air I tasted and breathed,
      E          
  has taken a turn    (Not sure about this line)
  
       C                                   Em
  Oooh all I know I taught her was... everything
       C                               Em
  Oooh all I know she gave all... that she wore
         D
  And my bitter hands
          C
  Shake beneath the clouds
                   Em
  Of what was everything
          D                      C
  All the pictures have all been washed in black
               Em
  Tatooed everything.
  
  
    E      A           Asus4 A
  I take a walk outside
         E               A            Asus4 A
  I'm surrounded by some kids at play
  E                A        
  I can feel their laughter
     E       
  So what can I say
  
      C                                          Em
  Ooh all my twisted thoughts they spin round my head (I'm spinnin')
           C                              Em
  Oooh I'm spinning how quick the sun can drop awayayayayay
         D  
  And my bitter hands
           C
  ????  on broken glass     (can't get this word)
                   Em
  of what was everything
         D                      C
  All my pictures have all been washed in black
  Em
  Tatooed everything
         D  
  All my love gone bad
            C
  turned my world to black
              D
  tatooed all I see
           C
  All that I am
                Em
  All that I'll beeeeee    yeaahheah
  
    D                         
  I know some day you'll have a beautiful life
    C
  I know you'll be a sun, 
     Em                  D              C
  In somebody elses sky, whyhy, whyhy   whyhy
                              Em                 
  can't it be, can't it be in mine.
