~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ by: The Black Keys Rubber Factory ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Tabbed by: Connor O. Comment or message any ideas or corrections. Please rate my tab. If you've got problems with the tab, I'd encourage you to contact me with those problems so I can fix the tab or provide advice for playing. Don't just give me a poor rating and not give me any feedback. The idea is for us all to work together to create a perfect finished product. This tab just represents the best I can do. It's definitely up for peer review. Key: where # represents a fret number #h# - hammer #p# - pull / \ - slides, up and down respectively. #b# - bend from normal note up to achieve bended note. #r# - release bend from bended note to normal note. pb# - on fret #, bend up a whole step then attack and release === - under boxes, represents the use of a guitar slide. #b - a slight bend a.k.a. a curl or a lean. x - mute * - time keeper. if you played a steady baseline, you'd see the notes are displayed in the tab in the correct chronological order. @ - symbol substitution, for when symbols (like double digits) are too large to fit in with the time keepers. Intro:

  0:00             ! ! = sixteenth notes
                   ! !         @=0h2                   @ = 0h2
