Stroke 9 - Little Black Backpack
Transcribed by Justin Goldner

Standard E Tuning

Note: Even though it sounds kinda weird at first, the song's not that
hard to play.  The trick is that its not all major/minor chords, its slight
variations of them.  The layout is pretty straightforward:


Verse - (general chords) - G6 D C

Chorus - G Am C D

Verse

Chorus

C Part - G6m D Em

Guitar Solo

Chorus - bass only for opening

Chorus



Verse-
(before the actual singing play the following riff):


            G6   Dsus2   C              G6    D        C

E------------3--------0--0--------------3--5--2--0-----3----------
B------------3-----3-----1--------------3-----3-----3--1----------
G------------0-----------0--------------0-----2--------0----------
D---2--4--5--2--0--------2-----2--4--5--2--------------2----------
A------------2-----------3--------------2--------------3----------
E-----------------------------------------------------------------


Each time after play this:       *the last time before the
                                  chorus add the bottom 3rd fret
                                  note to the C chord (x32013)
             G6  Dsus2   C

E------------3--------0--0----------------------------------------
B------------3-----3-----1----------------------------------------
G------------0-----------0----------------------------------------
D---2--4--5--2--0--------2----------------------------------------
A------------2-----------3----------------------------------------
E-----------------------------------------------------------------






Chorus-    This part's easy, four basic chords.  Do something like a base
           note then strum, it should sound right.  From "Don't wanna..."
on...


        EADGBE   EADGBE   EADGBE   EADGBE
        320003   x02210   x32010   xx0232

          G        Am       C        D


	Before the second verse play a G6 (x33022)




C Part-    I'm not sure if G6m is a real chord since only E/Gb (E6) appears
on
           the E scale and G/E (G6) appears on the G scale.  Oh well, it
works.


        EADGBE   EADGBE   EADGBE
        x22003   xx0232   022000

         G6m       D        Em

	D               Em

Well that's about it.  Vary the G6 to make it sound better, and listen to
the song a few times to get the timing right on the solo.  You also might
want to trickle down on a number of the chords, but I'm leaving that up to
you.  This is my first tab so tell me if it's any good.  Have fun!
