This is not very hard to play, and he's never playing
the same two times in this song, so consider this a guideline:
Intro/main-riff:
Dm Bb Gmaj7
e|------------------------|--6-6--3--3-3-3-5--|
B|---6-5h6---8p6-8p6--5h6-|--6-6--3--3-3-3-3--|
G|---7-x--------------5---|--7-7--3~----------|
D|-7------------------7---|--8-8--3~----------|
A|-5-------5----------5---|--8-8--5~----------|
E|------------------------|--6-6--3~----------|
Chorus:
Dm

Gm

Fmaj7

Bbmaj7

Gm
Burning fast
Dm <--------------------{the mainriff kicks in here!)
Southern man
Verse 1:
Dm
I saw cotton and
Bb Gm
I saw black
Dm
tall, white mansions and
Bb Gm
little shacks
Dm

Bb Gm

|Main riff|
|Crazy Jam|
|Chorus |
|Main riff|
Verse 2: (same chordprogression as before)
Lily Belle your hair is
golden brown
I've seen your black man
comin' 'round
Swear by god I'm gonna
cut him down!
|Bridge |
|Main riff|
|Outro Jam|
*Note: for the jam parts just play the verse-chords.
Hope I helped out a little. Remember to be fucking
angry, scream, and feel it from the inside. This song
was not written as a joke, and I'm sure that everybody
knows. Feel how injustice spoils, and play it like
crazy. This is the first tab I've put out here, but
I'm gonna post some of my earlier work later :)
