------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BLACK MAMBA - The Academy Is... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Sam Rayner Site: samrayner.com Tuning: Standard - EADGBe Sounds like there might be an acoustic guitar playing a D# chord throughout most of the verses. It's pretty subtle though. The chord at the end of "Oh Mr Magazine..." might not be perfect but I've tried to get close. Enjoy!
