We have an official Black tab made by UG professional guitarists.
Check out the tab
BLACK - Pearl Jam
 
It's a bit hard to hear every single note, but I think I managed to get at least the
part quite well. Email me for comments or corrections. Cheers!
And yeah, Pearl Jam rules. :)

Good job! I like how it’s all done line by line, but is it possible to change two little things: line up the words with the notes as they’re played, and put more space in between the pairs of text+music lines? The autoscroll is ripping through it way too quickly and I’m also reading the wrong line with the words, doing my own head in!
