There's a big black heart, in a big black hole
In a big black box, a the bottom, of the big black sea
And there's a long black road ahead
Waiting for me...

NOTES:
*For the intro and first two lines of the verses and interludes, you are NOT
going to play: G, C, G, C, but it is G, C, G, G...do not play a second "C" in
there, there is only 1 "C" note in that progression, it does not alternate back
to "C" again on the 4th note, just G, C, G, G (you may want to try a variation on
the finger picking in the last G to kind of give and audible cue as to an end to
the riff, or moving on to the verses, etc...)
