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

Between the verses play these power chords.

D|-------------------------------------|
A|7-7---5-5---3-3--5-5--7(let ring)----|
E|5-5-0-3-3-0-1-1--3-3--5(let ring)----|

after that it goes like this.
                                                      d d u d u  d d u d u
