Little Acorns by The White Stripes
from the album Elephant

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

Well, once you have the main squirrel rhythm in your blood, this is 
another nice, simple song to play. Lots of distortion, please.


=====================================================================


INTRO

The track starts with an out-of-tune piano playing this with the 
squirrel story:

|---------------------------------|----------(9)---------------------|
|---------------------------------|----------------------------------|
|---------------------------------|*--------------------------------*|
|---------------------7-7---7-5---|*-4-------------------7-7---7-5--*|
|---------------------------------|----------------------7-7---7-5---|
|---------------------5-5---5-3---|--2-------------------5-5---5-3---|

 |--------------------------||
 |--------------------------||
 |--------------------------||
 |-7--7--7-7-7--6--6--5--5--||
 |--------------------------||
 |-5--5--5-5-5--4--4--3--3--||

Then we have the main heavy guitar riff:



RIFF ONE

                      Ab      Gb     G                   Ab      Gb
|---------------------------------|----------------------------------|
|---------------------------------|----------------------------------|
|---------------------------------|*--------------------------------*|
|---------------------8-8---8-6---|*-5-------5b7---------8-8---8-6--*|
|---------------------8-8---8-6---|--5-------------------8-8---8-6---|
|---------------------6-6---6-4---|--3-------------------6-6---6-4---|
  1 x x x 2 x x x 3 x x x 4 x x x    1 x x x 2 x x x 3 x x x 4 x x x 

The rhythm is a bit strange, so listen carefully! The rhythm is noted 
above in semi-quavers (16th notes).


|----------------------------|
|----------------------------|
|----------------------------|
|-8--8--8-8-8--7--7--6-6-6-6-|
|-8--8--8-8-8--7--7--6-6-6-6-|
|-6--6-x6-6-6--5--5--4-4-4-4-|
  Bb           A     Ab

Repeat this type of thing a few times, then the last bar before the 
verse is just:

     (f/back)
|---------------------|
|------#--------------|
|------*#-------------|
|-5----^&--5----------|
|-5----&---5----------|
|-3--------3----------|
  G


VERSE

Palm mute most of the time:

RIFF TWO

||-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|
||-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|
||-5---5---8-8-6-5-|(5)--5---8-8-6-3-|(3)--3---8-8-6-3-|
||-5---5---8-8-6-5-|(5)--5---8-8-6-3-|(3)--3---8-8-6-3-|
||-3---3---6-6-4-3-|(3)--3---6-6-4-1-|(1)--1---6-6-4-1-|

 |(3)--3---8-8-6-5-||
 |(3)--3---8-8-6-5-||
 |(1)--1---6-6-4-3-||


That's about it. The riff at the end is just Riff One played more sloppy 
and with more feedback.

Remember: be like the squirrel.
