Black
PEARL JAM
First on the album Ten (1991)
This "live" version can be heard in most of the shows they've been doing ever since.
The other versions were not 100% accurate in my opinion, especially the end. I also added some lyrics Vedder
and the backings sing when they do the song live.
This is one of the best songs ever. What an incredible first album!
This tab is dedicated to Coralie, the love of my life.
The is optional.

Sheets of empty canvas
A
Untouched sheets of clay
A
Where spread out before me
As her body once did
All five horizons,
A
Revolved around her soul as the earth to the sun
A
Now the air I tasted and breathed
Has taken a turn
Oooh and all I taught her was... everything
Oooh I know she gave me all that she wore
And my bitter hands
Chafe beneath the clouds
Of what was everything
All the pictures have all been washed in black
Tatooed everything
A
I take a walk outside
I'm surrounded by some kids at play
A
I can feel their laughter
So why do I sear?
Ooh and twisted thoughts that spin round my head I'm spinnin'
Oooh I'm spinning how quick the sun can drop away
And my bitter hands
Cradle broken glass
Of what was everything
All my pictures have all been washed in black
Tatooed everything
All my love gone bad
Turned my world to black
Tatooed all I see
All that I am
All that I'll beeeeee yeaahheah
Mmmmmh
Mmmmmh
Mmmmmh
I know some day you'll have a beautiful life
I know you'll be a star,
In somebody elses sky but why why can't it be
Can't it be in miiiine ?
AAAAAAHH
AAAAAAHH
Tututu tu tututu

Tututu tu tututu

We belong
Together
Together
