This is a very simple song. I have tabbed out the main guitar parts, but not the solo.
The solo is kind of the same melody as the octaves, and is played with a slide. I'm in the process of figuring the solo out now, and when I finish I'll edit this tab to include it. The "bass" part can be played on a 7-string guitar like this:
e|------------------------------|
B|------------------------------|
G|------------------------------|
D|------------------------------|
A|------------------------------|
E|------------------------------|
B|----5---5--8--5--3--1--0------|
It of course starts out with just the bass. then...
The two power chords are obviously strummed more than once each, just figure it out.
This also might sound good if you tune the low E down to D, try it out.
This little part could also be played with just the A and E string, figure out which way you like best.
e|--------------------|
B|--------------------|
G|--------------------|
D|------5----7--------|
A|------5----7--------|
E|------3----5--------|
This is a pretty sweet sounding riff, very simple to play. Just octaves (i think that's what they're called).
sometimes he changes it a little like this
e|-----------------------------------|-------------------------------------------|
B|-----------------------------------|-------------------------------------------|
G|----9---9---9/12---9---7---5---4---|-----9---9---9/12---9---7---5/7---5---4----|
D|-----------------------------------|-------------------------------------------|
A|----7---7---7/10---7---5---3---2---|-----7---7---7/10---7---5---3/5---3---2----|
E|-----------------------------------|-------------------------------------------|
then it goes back to this, and then back to just the bass.
e|--------------------|
B|--------------------|
G|--------------------|
D|------5----7--------|
A|------5----7--------|
E|------3----5--------|
Elephant is a sweet album. I'm working on a couple other songs off it.
This song was of course written by the White Stripes, they and/or their record company own all rights.
