Black Mambo tab by 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...

E||--0------------------3-----|  E||--0----5h7---7-------3-5---|

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

Em
When you're on your own

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

You think you've had it
 A          Em
But you're nowhere near

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

 Don't let the children catch you
