Columbian Necktie
Big Black
Text File
Band: Big Black
Song: Columbian Necktie
Album: Songs About Fucking
Year: 1987
So this will be the first Big Black tab
on this site. There are two guitars on
this song, butfor the sake of simplicity,
I only wrote out one part for the majority of the song:
it says �both guitars,� but it�s a composite
arrangement of both of the parts. If you have
two guitarists, have one hit the power chords
at the beginning of each measure and the other
play the riff underneath. Otherwise, just play
what�s written.
(As they are defunct, there is no official
Big Black website, but they have a page
on the Touch & Go Records Website:

They're also on Wikipedia:
