Black Dream Cifra de texto por Samhain
I've tried to be analytical and accurate with this tab. Playing the main riff on an F power chord chord on the A string sounds closer to the original recording instead of an F power chord on the first fret of the E string. It sounds tighter and it is easier and more logical to play. I also have included an alternative version of a short fill there is in the song and the final closing simple melody. I've included some of the lyrics in order one could follow the tab easier.
