Artist : Gob
Song :Paint it Black
Tabed By The Great Calixto
Ok, this song is a cover song , originally from rolling stones , lots of bands have tried to cover this song but no one does it as good as Gob.
Ive seen a lot of tabs for this song and none of them are correct they all suck I assure you that my tab is 100 % accurate .
Ok there are two guitars in this song , but you can play it on one guitar all you have to do is drop high E string half step ( Eb), and low E one full step (D)
