Tuning: E A D G B E

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fell in Love with a Girl - The White Stripes ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Burpin'Worm My first tab, hope you like...... Standard Tuning: EADGBE Chords: EADGBE ------ B x2444x Play with barred 3rd finger it's easiest A x0222x Jack plays with a barre and doesn't play high E D xx0232 E 0221xx Sounds more like record if you don't play 1st and 2nd strings F# 2443xx Likewise [Intro] *(Watch out when playing the D. If you listen to the record the pitch drops earlier than the previous chords, but it'll sound fine if you play D 5 times then let go.) B A D E e|--------------------------------------2---2-2---2------------------------| B|--4---4-4---4-4-----2---2-2---2-2-----3---3-3---3-0-0--------------------| G|--4---4-4---4-4-0---2---2-2---2-2-0---2---2-2---2-0-0---1---1-1---1-1----| D|--4---4-4---4-4-0---2---2-2---2-2-0---0---0-0---0-0-0---2---2-2---2-2-0--| A|--2---2-2---2-2-0---0---0-0---0-0-0---------------------2---2-2---2-2-0--| E|--------------------------------------------------------0---0-0---0-0-0--| *(The intro is played once, then on the second time through Jack starts singing on the second/third strike of the B Chord. Exactly the same rhythm.) [Verse 1]

^BFell in love with a girl ^A ^AI ^Dfell in love once and al^Emost completely ^B ^BShe's in love with the world ^A ^ABut some^Dtimes these feelings ^ECan be so misleading

*(After the E has finished the B is replaced by F#, same rhythm etc. just that change. For the G|--0- bit at end of the F# play G|----) e|---- e|---- B|---- B|---- G|---- G|---- D|--0- D|--0- A|--0- A|--0- E|---- E|--0-

^F#She turns and says are ^Ayou alright? ^AI said I ^Dmust be fine cause my ^Eheart's still beating ^F#Come and kiss me by the ^Ariverside, yeah F# *(Single strike of the chord then let it fade to end of line....) Bobby says it's fine he don't consider it cheating now

[Verse 2]

^BRed hair with a curl ^A ^AMellow ^Droll for the flavor and the ^Eeyes for peeping ^BCan't keep away from the girl ^A ^DThese two sides of my brain need to ^Ehave a meeting *(I've got a friend says he's heard Jack sing it: I see stars in my brain, need a hallowed meeting, but the record sings it: These two sides....)

[Chorus]

^F#Can't think of any^Athing to do, yeah ^AMy ^Dleft brain knows that all ^Elove is fleeting ^F#She's just looking for ^Asomething new, yeah F# *(again single strike and fade..........) I said it once before but it bears repeating now *(Where he sings 'all love is' it might be 'our love', make up your own minds)

[Instrumental] Back to B A D E *(It's repeated twice with Ah ahhhaa ahhhhhh aaah etc. sung over, you'll have to listen to the record to get that right, I can't tab ahhhs.) [Chorus]

[Verse 3]

^BFell in love with a girl ^A ^AI ^Dfell in love once and al^Emost completely ^B ^BShe's in love with the world ^A ^ABut some^Dtimes these feelings ^ECan be so misleading

[Instrumental] Back to B A D E *(It's repeated twice with Ah ahhhaa ahhhhhh aaah etc.) [Chorus]

^F#Can't think of any^Athing to do, yeah ^AMy ^Dleft brain knows that all ^Elove is fleeting ^F#She's just looking for ^Asomething new, yeah F# *(again single strike and fade..................B single strike then mute.) I said it once before but it bears repeating now

To get a White stripes sound use an electric with humbuckers if possible (Jack plays an old airline) bridge pickup, gain arond 7 to 7.5, treble 7, mid 5.5 and bass 8. This is one of my fave songs and is soooo easy to play, I think this tab's pretty good so please rate it or post a comment it took me ages.
