In The Cold, Cold Night by The White Stripes
from the album Elephant

Tabbed by Keith Railton (http://www.mooworldorder.com/)

Meg sings! This is a simple little tune which is unusual in that the 
guitar accompaniment is mainly single notes doubled at the octave. Have 
fun with this!

NB:
After each slide there is a little rhythm played on the muted strings...

E.g.

 ---|----------
 ---|----------
 -5/|-7--------
 ---|-----x-x--
 -3/|-5---x-x--
 ---|----------

Because of the triplet feel, it's like the song is in 12/16, i.e. each 
bar is made up of four groups of three:

| 1 x x 2 x x 3 x x 4 x x |

In the snippet above, the rhythm being played is:

        ---|----------
        ---|----------
        -5/|-7--------
        ---|-----x-x--
        -3/|-5---x-x--
        ---|----------

 ... 4 x x | 1 x x 2 x x ...


With this in mind, here are the other variations on the little rhythm 
after each slide:

        ---|----------
        ---|----------
        -5/|-7--------
        ---|-------x--
        -3/|-5-----x--
        ---|----------

 ... 4 x x | 1 x x 2 x x ...


which is played at the very start, 

and:

        ---|----------
        ---|----------
        -5/|-7--------
        ---|---x-x-x--
        -3/|-5-x-x-x--
        ---|----------

 ... 4 x x | 1 x x 2 x x ...


I hope you got that. Not that it's hugely important, just adds a nice 
bit of variety and interest here and there. =)
