Chords

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Burpin'Worm My first tab, hope you like...... Chords: EADGBE ------ B x2444x Play with barred 3rd finger it's easiest A x0222x Jack plays with a barre and doesn't play high E
D    xx0232
E    0221xx  Sounds more like record if you don't play 1st and 2nd strings
F# 2443xx Likewise [Intro] *(Watch out when playing the D. If you listen to the record the pitch drops earlier than the previous chords, but it'll sound fine if you play D 5 times then let go.)

*(The intro is played once, then on the second time through Jack starts singing on the second/third strike of the B Chord. Exactly the same rhythm.) [Verse 1]
B                        A
Fell in love with a girl 

A D                       E               B

A       D
But sometimes these feelings

E 
Can be so misleading
*(After the E has finished the B is replaced by F#, same rhythm etc. just that change. For the G|--0- bit at end of the F# play G|----)

A        D                     E 
I said I must be fine cause my heart's still beating

F#                      A

Can't keep away from the girl 

D                                   E

Can't think of anything to do, yeah

F#                     A
She's just looking for something new, yeah
F# *(again single strike and fade..........) I said it once before but it bears repeating now *(Where he sings 'all love is' it might be 'our love', make up your own minds) [Instrumental]
Back to B A D E 
*(It's repeated twice with Ah ahhhaa ahhhhhh aaah etc. sung over,

F# *(again single strike and fade..................B single strike then mute.) I said it once before but it bears repeating now To get a White stripes sound use an electric with humbuckers if possible (Jack plays an old airline) bridge pickup, gain arond 7 to 7.5, treble 7, mid 5.5 and bass 8. This is one of my fave songs and is soooo easy to play, I think this tab's pretty good so please rate it or post a comment it took me ages.
