Black And White People Tab

by Matchbox 20


Name: Jon Aleman

Tabs: This is a song of the new Matchbox Twenty album mad season by 
matchbox twenty. 
If you don’t have it, get it, it is absolutely amazing.  
This song is Black and White People, it’s accompanied by a bunch of 
horns 
and such so it’s best to just play along with the CD. Standard 
tuning... no capo.

high e string.

e--3-3-1-3-3-1-3-8-7-5-5-3-3-3-1-3-8-6-8-10-3-1-3-1-3-3-1-3-8-7-5--
e--5-3-3-1-3-1-0-8-13-12-10


VERSE 1:

		   	    				
One more day down, Everybody has those days

		     				     		
Where one soft sweet song is just enough to clear my head

In between "head" and the chord change is this on horns:
:3-3-3-1-1-1-1-2-3

		     
Fall on real life, (fall on real life)

			      
Is anybody left here sane?

						 
And we’ll slide on over, the accept  fate

					
Man it’s bound to be a powerful thing


CHORUS:

				
And if it’s just that you’re weak, can we talk about it?

							
It’s gettin so damn creepy just nursing this 


Ghost of a chance

					
The fiction, the romance, and the Technicolor dreams

			      
Black and white people


VERSE 2:

			
One boy headstrong

					
He thinks everything here is just plain

									
He’s pushed down so hard you can hear him start to sink

		   				
And it’s one last round of this petty conversation


								
You hold on boy, cuz you won’t go down like this

							
You just roll on over and lay down till it’s more that you can take


CHORUS: same as last time

The solo (with horns) is as follows:
-7-5-7-5-7-5-0-3-5-3-3-2-0-2-3-2
-7-5-7-5-7-5-0-3-2-3-3-2-2-0-2-3
-2-3-7-5-5-3-5-7

That little guitar thing in between solo and next verse:

e----3--------------------
B-----3-------3----------
G--------0---------------

							
So one more day down, everybody’s changing

							
One soft sweet song is just enough to clear my....

	
My head

CHORUS: same as last time

Outro: Just switch between G and C, it’s kinda confusing
