------------------------------------------------------------------------------- And I'm Aching - Black Rebel Motorcycle Club ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: eightyproof Email: 80proof@gmail.com ********* Tuning: open F#: F# A# F# C# A# F# Tune your bottom E string down to F#, so that it matches the first chord played during the song. Then tune on these frets (5-5-5-4-5 being standard tuning): 4-3-5-4-9 I am unsure of what these actual chords are as this is not a standardized tuning, so with me and ignore the chord name; just follow the fingering.

(meaning strum all 6 strings) just slide your index onto the notes: F#|--0----------------| A#|--0----------------| F#|--0-h-2-\-4--------| C#|--0----------4-----| A#|--0------------3---| F#|--0----------------| Once you've figured out the timing, the song is relatively simple. -End-
