Black - Pearl Jam chords

Key: E Singer/Band: Pearl Jam


Tone: [E]
(Verse 1)
[E]Sheets of empty [Asus2]
canvas, untouched [E]sheets of clay [Asus2]
Were [E]laid spread out [A]before me as her [E]body once did
[E]All five [Asus2]horizons revolved [E]around
her soul [Asus2]as the earth to the sun
[E]Now the air I [A]tasted and breathed has [E]taken a turn
[C]Hmmmm, and all I taught her was [Em]everything
[C]Hmmmm, I know she gave me all that [Em]she wore
(Chorus)
And now my [D]bitter hands,
Chafe [C]beneath the clouds
Of what was [Em]everything
All the [D]pictures
Have all been [C]washed in black
Tattooed [Em]everything
(Verse 2)
[E]I take a [Asus2]walk outside, I'm [E]sur
rounded by some [Asus2]kids at play
[E]I can feel their [A]laughter so, [E]why do I sear
[C]Hmmmm, and twisted thoughts that
spin 'round [Em]my head, I'm spinning, oh
I'm [C]spinning, how quick the sun can drop [Em]away
(Chorus)
And now my [D]bitter hands
Cradle [C]broken glass
Of what was [Em]everything
All the [D]pictures have
All been [C]washed in black
Tattooed [Em]everything
All the [D]love gone bad
Turned my [C]world to black
And tattooed all [D]I see,
All that [C]I am,
All I'll [Em]be
(Bridge)
[D] [C]Yeah [Em]Uh huh [D]Uh huh [C]
(Outro)
I [Em]know someday you'll have a beautiful life,
I [D]know you'll be a star in [C]somebody else's sky
But [Em]why, why, [D]why can't it [C]be,
[C]Why can't it be [Em]mine [D] [C]
