Author/Artist:  Madrugada
Title:          Black Mambo
Album:          The Nightly Disease
Transcribed by: DMS & RH

Standard tuning (EADGBE)

This is the cool bassriff that is played in the begining of the 
song. (And also throughout the song)

"Arranged" for guitar. I think. I've never played a bass, but it's
pretty cool to play this on a normal guitar...

Verse:

Em       
When you're on your own
                                   G A
And you've got them twisting bones
Em                                      G
And a red hot poker burning in your ear
        A        Em
You think you've had it 

But you ain't nowhere near
                     G
You think you've had it
 A                   Em                       
But you're nowhere near

Don't let the children catch you
Em                                       G A
Gonna lock you down with liquor and love
Em                                               G A
Black mambo, little chicken better run, run, run
Em
Don't let them catch you out here on the street
                         G A
Cause you've got no soul 
Em                                               G A
Black mambo, little chicken better run, run, run
Bm              G          A
  Don't let the children catch you
Bm              G          A
  Don't let the children catch you
