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 lyricalG|---------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!
