Michael Jackson - Black or White (Dangerous) Tabbed by: Mark McCudden (GrOOvejetNT@netscape.net) This is a great Michael Jackson piece... Most tabs on the net were wrong and aggravated me so I decided to tab it out myself with the real chords used. They can be played in this octave or an octave lower. Riff 1 - Intro & Verse (The (0)'s are ghost notes Play them if u think they sound good)Just not sure about that Bm!?
