Sheets of empty canvas, untouched sheets of clay
E baritone chordE A baritone chordA E baritone chordE
Were laid spread out before me as her body once did.
E baritone chordE A baritone chordA E baritone chordE
All five horizons revolved around her soul
A baritone chordA
As the earth to the sun

Now the air I tasted and breathed has taken a turn
C baritone chordC Em baritone chordEm
Ooh, and all I taught her was everything
C baritone chordC Em baritone chordEm
Ooh, I know she gave me all that she wore
D baritone chordD C baritone chordC
And now my bitter hands chafe beneath the clouds
E baritone chordE
Of what was everything.
D baritone chordD C baritone chordC
Oh, the pictures have all been washed in black, tattooed
E baritone chordE
everything...


E baritone chordE A baritone chordA
I take a walk outside
E baritone chordE A baritone chordA
I'm surrounded by some kids at play
E baritone chordE A baritone chordA E baritone chordE A baritone chordA
I can feel their laughter, so why do I sear?
C baritone chordC Em baritone chordEm
Oh, and twisted thoughts that spin round my head

I'm spinning, oh, I'm spinning
Em baritone chordEm
How quick the sun can drop away

And now my bitter hands cradle broken glass

All the pictures have all been washed in black, tattooed

All the love gone bad turned my world to black

Tattooed all I see, all that I am, all I'll be..... yeah...

I know someday you'll have a beautiful life,
D baritone chordD C baritone chordC E baritone chordE
I know you'll be a sun in somebody else's sky, but why
D baritone chordD C baritone chordC Em baritone chordEm D baritone chordD
Why, why can't it be, can't it be mine......


C baritone chordC
Aah... uuh..


E baritone chordE D baritone chordD C baritone chordC
Too doo doo too, too doo doo [many times until fade]

Alternately, you may just play on the A baritone chordA String
(Frets)
2,3,5,3,2,3,2... repeatedly to compliment the song

Above all, have fun with it, mix it up! Throw in a minor chord, change your strum; play it how you interpret it.

I think the correct chord not E but 2424.
I would first pick the fourth fret on C, and then play this chord.

About this song: Black

"Black" is a song by the American rock band Pearl Jam. The song is the fifth track on the band's debut album, Ten (1991). Featuring lyrics written by vocalist Eddie Vedder and music written by guitarist Stone Gossard, "Black" is a soliloquy by a broken-hearted man, who is remembering his absent lover. After Ten became a commercial success in 1992, Pearl Jam's record label Epic Records urged the group to release the song as a single. The band refused, citing the song's personal nature.
