There one tab on here but its slightly wrong so i thought i'd re write it and add
the lyrics for all who was interested.

Standard Tuning.
Slight distortion

E|--------2-------------|

This is played normally for the first 30 seconds then jack white changes the timing
very slightly, he groups the first 2 notes and the second 2 notes in the verse together.

Theres also a few muted notes at certain points in the verses, i just strum once/twice
while changing hand posistion to create the muted notes.


[Into the Chorus]
