White Stripes - Dead Leaves And Dirty Ground guitar tab

band: the white stripes

song: dead leaves and dirty ground

(I revised this version from the last post i think this sounds better.

low e string 5--5--5-0--3--3-0--2-2-0-1-1-0-5 varies a little during intro.

listen for rhythm.

the open is quick between each note

I don't know the opening first measure at the beginning of the verse but it is picking through the

chords.

A             G              C        D        A

dead leaves and dirty ground when i no your not around

shiny tops and soda pops when your lips make a sound

F        G       A

when your lips make a sound

thirty notes in the mailbox will tell you when i'm coming home

and i think i'm gonna stick around for awhile so your not alone

if you can hear a piano fall you can hear coming down the hall

if i could just hear your pretty voice don't think i need to see at all

soft hair and velvet tongue want to give you what you gave to me

and every breath that is in your lungs is a tiny little gift to me

D                       A                D

i didn't feel so dad till the sun went down

then when i came home

F                             G

no one to wrap my arms around, wrap my arms around

A             G             C            D      A

well any man with a micrphone can tell you what he loves the most

and you know why your love at all if your thinking of the holy ghost

F        G      A

thinking of the holy ghost
