This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Due to the helpful advice of one of the readers on this Newsgroup, I have
figured out what I HOPE to be the correct way to play "Black Flag"
by King's X. Note the "E" is tuned down to "D" (helpful advice).
E|-------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|-------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|-------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|--------3---3--------0--------3---3--------0-0x-3x-1x-0---3---3--------0-| A|--------3---2--------0--------3---2--------0-0x-3x-1x-0---3---2--------0-| D|-0-3/-0-3-0---0-3/-0---0-3/-0-3-0---0-3/-0---0x-3x-1x-0-0-3-0---0-3/-0---|
^ ^
E|-------------------------------------------|| This is for the beginning of the song and the refrain.
B|-------------------------------------------|| What follows is the variation used for the lyrical
G|---------0-----0---------------------------|| section of the song. Refer to the "^"'s above.
D|-------0-----0---|| G|-------0------------||
A|-----------------|| D|-----0---0----------||
D|-0-2-3-----1-----|| A|--------------------||
D|-0-3-------0-1~-0---||^ ^
...and now, the tab for the lead-in to the refrain.
E|---------------------------------------------------------------|| B|---------------------------------------------------------------|| G|-2-------------2---------------------------------------2-------|| D|-2-3-3---3/5-5-2-3-3--------0---12-11-10-8-3-3---3/5-5-2-------|| A|-0-3-3---3/5-5-0-3-3--------0---12-11-10-8-3-3---3/5-5-0-------|| D|---3-3-0-3/5-5---3-3-0-3/-0---0-12-11-10-8-3-3-0-3/5-5---0-3-1-||
...and finally, the tab for the "It's... what's up... with ME..." part...
E|-------------------------------------------|| B|-------------------------------------------|| G|------------0-----0-2----------------------|| D|-0-3-5----0-----0---2-0x-3x-0x-2x-1x-0-3-5-|| A|-0-3-5--------------0-0x-3x-0x-2x-1x-0-3-5-|| D|-0-3-5--2-----3-------0x-3x-0x-2x-1x-0-3-5-||
I hope that this is right, and that my new TAB notation is legible. I think
that it's a good system, because it allows for tuned-down or -up
strings, bends, and other things. Let me know what you think.

P.S.- If you know King's X, a heavy, wooden, bass-laden guitar sound should
sound best with this song. Bon guitar-age!

Spotted a wrong chord, or know a capo position that sounds closer to the record?
