The Academy Is - Black Mamba Tabs

                         BLACK MAMBA - The Academy Is...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Tuning: Standard - EADGBe

Sounds like there might be an acoustic guitar playing a D#
chord throughout most of the verses. It's pretty subtle though.

The chord at the end of "Oh Mr Magazine..." might not be perfect
but I've tried to get close.

Enjoy!
