Hi!
I'm new to the community, so let me know if I'm doing anything wrong. :/
I've been looking for a tab to Michael Jackson's Black or White.
There's a fantastic cover here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJl-pXjAx_0 but unfortunately, it doesn't look like he'll be posting tabs any time soon.
Can anyone help, please? :)
 
I did this a while ago but forgot to post it...PROGRESS!

It was surprisingly easy to figure out the main riff and the verses. I came up with this:

Code:
BLACK OR WHITE -- MICHAEL JACKSON


Main riff:
|-3-3-3-3-3-2-x-x-0-0-2-------]
|-3-3-3-3-3-3-x-x-3-3-3-------]  (repeat as you see fit w/ appropriate strumming)
|-2-2-2-2-2-2-x-x-2-2-2-------]
|-0-0-0-0-0-0-x-x-0-0-0-------]

Verses:
|-----2-3-2-----3-2-3-5------||---------0----------------0-----2-]
|---------------0-----2-----.||---0------------0-----------------]
|---------------------------.||-0-0------------0-----------------]
|-0-0-------0-0--------------||-----0-0--0---0---0-0-0-0---0-0---]
(riff)
|-0-0-0-2-0---------------0---------]
|-----------------0-----------------]
|-----------------0-----------------]
|-----------0-0-0---0-0-0---0-0-0---]
(riff)
Of course, you will have to play this in time with the actual song. I'm not sure if you can represent timed notes and all that fun stuff with a tab. :confused:

What I'm having trouble with is the interlude where he sings:

I Am Tired Of This Devil/I Am Tired Of This Stuff
I Am Tired Of This Business/So When The Going Gets Rough
I Ain't Scared Of Your Brother/I Ain't Scared Of No Sheets
I Ain't Scared Of Nobody/Girl When The Going Gets Mean

And the following rap. I'm not sure how to translate this to a ukulele.

The youtuber I had previously posted a link to came up with some great chords to go along with it, but coming up with that sort of thing requires a seriously experience uke player, which I am not.

I'm really, really appreciate any help! :)
