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. Enjoy
THANKS TO THEWHITE549:

When I was surrounded by the world
You were the only one who came
And you were the only one astounded
Which kept me grounded
As the other girls thrashed my very name

Just in time to see her smiling back at me
And saying everything's OK

AmYour (x02210@1)blue veins
DmAnd (xx0231@1)I know you won't deceive me
AmLike (x02210@1)the rest and there's nothing you need to explain
DmYou (xx0231@1)always were the first one to believe me
When I said to you girl
AmI (x02210@1)think it's gonna rain
But I could be wrong
CYeah (x32010@1)but all of these things
All these things
B7They're (x21202@1)all truly nice but ain't nothing
AminAin't (x02413@1)nothing compared to the love that's running through your little blue veins
Your blue veins
End on Amin
