Here is the main jist of the new, awesome White Stripes song. It's easy to play, and
kick ass. I did this on Guitar Pro, where I have tabbed out all the other parts of the song
so if anyone wants that, leave a comment here.

The rest of the song is just covered by what I have already given. I have a roguh
of what Jack does with his whammy bar, but I haven't added it in this tab since I'm probably
(I don't have a whammy bar to test it with).
If you need any help, PM me on the forums.
