tab by evan sutherland([email protected])
this is paint it black by the rolling stones. this is my own little take on
it, because the other tabs i have found dont sound right to me, so i thought
id show everyone how i play it. this isnt the exact way to play it, because
the real way requires a capo on the 3rd fret, but by playing it like this it
sounds right. comments welcome, because this is my very first attempt at a
tab. thanks
