Thewhite549 nailed this tab in my opinion. So I copied his stuff for the album version the song, but if you've seen the Raconteurs live (especially this year, 2008) You'd know song isnt complete without the solo. So I decided to make a solo for it, most of it is ear, some of it is improvised, and I got help from a few videos of the solo.
