Black Night Tab by The Dodos

Black Night tab by The Dodos

Guitar Tab

Tuning: Standard

This is my first tab, and I noticed there wasn't a tab previously made for this song so
I thought I'd submit one. The picking riffs are pretty accurate I think, the rest is
more of an interpretation, but it's still a solid and effective way to play the song

--MAIN INTRO RIFF AGAIN (2:01)

The rest (from 2:10 onward) I'm rather unsure of, it's more of a main riff with some
overlaying guitar I think. But for the "You want it all, you want to walk..." part playing
