Black Me Out - Against Me!
Standard Tuning (EADGBe)
Arranged by Jack Cookson (Torn_Asunder)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Based this off the nervous energies performance Laura did.
I haven't done the riffing at the beginning but the chords are there.
There are some other good tabs on UG that can teach you the riff,
but if you just wanna jam the song out this tabs good!

[Intro]
E   A   B   A
 
 
[Verse 1]
E                                        A
I don't ever want to talk that way again, 
                                             B
I don't want to know people like that any more,
                           A
As if it was an obligation
                 Am
As if I owed you something
 
 
[Chorus]
          E                                         A
Black me out, I want to piss on the walls of your house,
                             B
I want to chop those brass rings off your fat fucking fingers,
   A
As if you were a king maker,
 
As if, As if, As if, Black me out
 
 
E   A   B   A
 
 
[Verse 2]
E                                             A
I don't want to see the world that way any more,
                                       B
I don't want to feel that weak and insecure,
                                A
As if you were my fucking pimp,
                 Am
As if I was your fucking whore
 
 
[Chorus]
          E                                         A
Black me out, I want to piss on the walls of your house,
                             B
I want to chop those brass rings off your fat fucking fingers,
   A
As if you were a king maker,
 
          E                                         A
Black me out, I want to piss on the walls of your house,
                             B
I want to chop those brass rings off your fat fucking fingers,
   A
As if you were a king maker,
 
As if, As if, As if, Black me out

All the young graves filled.
          A                     Am
Don't the best all burn out so bright and so fast?

Since this is still going on nearly 4 years later, I will say in my defence that I definitely made this tab prior to the rolling stone article, and then my life somehow got too busy for me to come back on here and edit a pronoun. I'm very sorry for any hurt caused either way.
