This is a great song! One of my favorite on the album. Well Im almost 100% sure
that this tab is correct. The song starts of with a bass playing, Im starting it
where the guitar starts. Its played in standard tuning (E-A-D-G-B-E).

Hardest Button To Button |================|
Elephant |
=====================================|
By Andrew Gyorkos and Marlon Chaplin |
=====================================|=====================================|
This is a revision of the hardest button to button version 4 done on November
18th by Andrew Gyorkos and Marlon Chaplin. The same transcribers as version 4.
There is no timing included and I've fixed all the guitar parts and corrected
some mistakes too.
===========================================================================|
If you can, replace the A string with a Bass string. Keep a constant beat
throughout the song too. If there are still mistakes please email me and I'll
fix them. Also thanks go to Paul Kendrick for a bit of help with this tab. For
timing, or anything else, look to the song for help. Other than that enjoy!

Verse 1

we started living in an old house
my ma gave birth and we were checking it out
it was a baby boy
so we bought him a toy
it was a ray gun
and it was 1981

we named him 'Baby'
he had a toothache
he started crying
it sounded like an earthquake
it didn't last long
because I stopped him
i grabbed a rag doll
and stuck some little pins in it

Verse 2

Now we're a family
and we're alright now
we got money and a little place
to fight now
we don't know you
and we don't owe you
but if you see us around
I got something else to show you

Verse 3

well its easy when you don't know
better
you think it's sleazy?
then put it in a short letter
we keep warm
but there's just something wrong
when you
just feel that you're the hardest little button to
button

Verse 4

I had opinions
that didn't matter
I had a brain
that felt like pancake batter
I got a backyard
with nothing in it
except a stick
a dog
and a box with something in it

the hardest button to button (x12)

============================================================================
Please email me at abgyorkos@rogers.com to let me know how i did! Enjoy!

"The Hardest Button to Button" by the White Stripes
Track 9; Elephant (2003)
tabbed by Hellfire21

I originally tabbed this song out when I was just starting out playing guitar. A lot has certainly changed since then, as usually happens when you've been playing for almost ten years. The original tab received 4 stars and that's generally good, but I know there's mistakes in my original submission so I am editing it so that it can be as good as it should be. Even if it's only for "The Hardest Button to Button".

Guitar 1 - Tuned Down One Octave with Whammy Pedal
Guitar 2 - Slightly Distorted with touch of reverb
There's probably a 3rd guitar in the mix as well, it sounds like there is. If I had to guess, I'd say there's a 3rd guitar with a Big Muff and a lot of reverb on it playing the same parts as Guitar 2 in the chorus and refrain sections.
