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|————————————————————————-|

D|———3—3———0———3—3———0-0x-3x-1x-0—3—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.

…and finally, the tab for the «It’s… what’s up… with ME…» part…

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!
