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
