White Stripes

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
