Fell in Love with a Girl - The White Stripes
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Burpin'Worm
My first tab, hope you like......
Standard Tuning: EADGBE
Chords:
[EADGBE]
------
B x2444x Play with barred 3rd finger it's easiest
A x0222x Jack plays with a barre and doesn't play high E
D xx0232
E 0221xx Sounds more like record if you don't play 1st and 2nd strings
F# 2443xx Likewise
Intro:
Watch out when playing the D. If you listen to the record the pitch drops earlier
than the previous chords, but it'll sound fine if you play D 5 times then let go.
[B] [A] [D] [E]

The intro is played once, then on the second time through Jack starts singing
on the second/third strike of the B Chord. Exactly the same rythym.
[B]Fell in love with a girl [A]
[A]I [D]fell in love once and al[E]most completely [B]
[B]She's in love with the world[A]
[A]But some[D]times these feelings
[E]Can be so misleading
After the E has finished the B is replaced by F#, same rythym etc. just that change.
For the G|--0- bit at end of the F# play G|---- D|--0- D|--0- A|--0- A|--0- E|---- E|--0-
[F#]She turns and says are [A]you alright?
[A]I said I [D]must be fine cause my [E]heart's still beating
[F#]Come and kiss me by the [A]riverside, yeah
F# Single strike of the chord then let it fade to end of line....
Bobby says it's fine he don't consider it cheating now
[B]Red hair with a curl [A]
[A]Mellow [D]roll for the flavor and the [E]eyes for peeping
[B]Can't keep away from the girl [A]
[A]These two sides of my brain need to [E]have a meeting
(I've got a friend says he's heard Jack sing it: I see stars in my brain, need a
hallowed meeting, but the record sings it: These two sides....)
[F#]Can't think of any[A]thing to do, yeah
[A]My [D]left brain knows that all [E]love is fleeting
[F#]She's just looking for [A]something new, yeah
F# again single strike and fade..........
I said it once before but it bears repeating now
(Where he sings 'all love is' it might be 'our love', make up your own minds)
Back to B A D E It's repeated twice with Ah ahhhaa ahhhhhh aaah etc. sung over,
you'll have to listen to the record to get that right, I can't tab ahhhs.
[F#]Can't think of any[A]thing to do, yeah
[A]My [D]left brain knows that all [E]love is fleeting
[F#]She's just looking for [A]something new, yeah
F# again single strike and fade..........
I said it once before but it bears repeating now

To get a White stripes sound use an electric with humbuckers if possible
(Jack plays an old airline) bridge pickup, gain arond 7 to 7.5, treble 7,
mid 5.5 and bass 8. This is one of my fave songs and is soooo easy to play,
I think this tab's pretty good so please rate it or post a comment it took me ages.
