Black Mambo Tabs

(ver. 1)
Madrugada

Standard tuning (EADGBE)

This is the cool bassriff that is played in the begining of the 
song. (And also throughout the song)

"Arranged" for guitar. I think. I've never played a bass, but it's
pretty cool to play this on a normal guitar...

I sometimes use powercords on the first and the two last notes.  
Just for the fun of it..

Verse:

Em       
When you're on your own
                                   G A
And you've got them twisting bones
Em                                      G
And a red hot poker burning in your ear
        A        Em
You think you've had it 

But you ain't nowhere near
                     G
You think you've had it
 A                   Em                       
But you're nowhere near

Don't let the children catch you
Em                                       G A
Gonna lock you down with liquor and love
Em                                               G A
Black mambo, little chicken better run, run, run
Em
Don't let them catch you out here on the street
                         G A
Cause you've got no soul 
Em                                               G A
Black mambo, little chicken better run, run, run
Bm              G          A
