Title: Black Math

Band: The White Stripes

Album: Elephant (2003)

tabbed by scef (email funnell_teen_spirit@yahoo.com)

elephant track number 2 in all (well, most of) its

glory...

hope this isn't too confusing to follow but this

seemed to be the easiest way to tab it out...the chord

shapes are easy but they can change damn quickly

riff C x 2

riff F x 4

then end on an Am barre chord

where there are '*'s either side of where a riff is,

there's that really long solo which i haven't worked

out yet cos it'd take ages and i can't be bothered

right now, so i might tab it out some other time,

unless if anyone else beats me to it...
