Notes: This album has not come out yet (Elephant) But it will be good when it does. As for the verses... its a bass part, but I believe it works alright on dropped A tuning, or just take the bass notes of the power chords. The slides are not tabbed, but there are alot. For now Ill tab the chorus, not the high layering part though. E-mail me with any changes, comments, suggestions. Enjoy!
If you listen to the song you will hear some muted chords in between some of these chords listed below. It's easy to pickup once you get into the rhythm of the song. This part is played twice the first time and four times when playing with the solo. e|------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|---2/9--9--12--9--7--5--4---/9--9--12--9--7--5/7\5--4-------------------| D|---2/9--9--12--9--7--5--4---/9--9--12--9--7--5/7\5--4-------------------| G|---2/9--9--12--9--7--5--4---/9--9--12--9--7--5/7\5--4-------------------| B|------------------------------------------------------------------------|

Sorry, I can't be bothered to type out the lyrics. They're on the album sleeve
and probably loads of websites. Email me if this is inaccurate.
Play intro palm muted for first few bars.

I'm gonna fight 'em off
A seven nation army couldn't hold me back
They're gonna rip it off
Taking their time right behind my back
And I'm talking to myself at night
Because I can't forget
Back and forth through my mind
Behind a cigarette
And the message coming from my eyes
Says leave it alone
Verse 2
Don't want to hear about it
Every single one's got a story to tell
Everyone knows about it
From the Queen of England to the hounds of hell
And if I catch it coming back my way
I'm gonna serve it to you
And that ain't what you want to hear,
But that's what I'll do
And the feeling coming from my bones
Says find a home
Verse 3
I'm going to Wichita
Far from this opera for evermore
I'm gonna work the straw
Make the sweat drip out of every pore
And I'm bleeding, and I'm bleeding, and I'm bleeding
Right before the lord
All the words are gonna bleed from me
And I will think no more
And the stains coming from my blood
Tell me go back home

SONG: Seven Nation Army
ALBUM: Elephant
TUNING: Normal (eBGDAE)
TABBED BY: Michael Malone
E-MAIL: Anorexorcist419@aol.com
I tabbed this out as best as I could. I'm not really a fan of modern rock, but
for some reason, The White Stripes just stand out more than other bands. They
are a good band, and this is a pretty bad ass song. I hope everything is here
and that I help someone out. Feedback is welcome.
