BLACK MAMBA - The Academy Is...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Sam Rayner
Site: samrayner.com
Tuning: Standard - EADGBe
Previous tabs for this were way off so hopefully this is better.
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!
