Black Or White (ver3) Tab - Michael Jackson






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!?
