Black Mambo tab by Madrugada

Tabs

Standard tuning (EADGBE)

This is the cool bassriff that is played in the begining of the
song. (And also throughout the song)

"Arranged" for guitar. I think. I've never played a bass, but it's
pretty cool to play this on a normal guitar...

e||---------------------------|  e||---------------------------|
BB||---------------------------|  BB||---------------------------|

A augmentedA||-------0h2---2---------0---|  A augmentedA||-----------5---5-7---------|
E MajorE||--0------------------3-----|  E MajorE||--0----5h7---7-------3-5---|

I sometimes use powercords on the first and the two last notes.
Just for the fun of it..
