The White Stripes - Seven Nation Army

Intro:
Em G C B 4x

          Em            G C B          
I'm gonna fight 'em off
               Em            G       C    B
A seven nation army couldn't hold me back
              Em         G C B
They're gonna rip it off
             Em           G       C    B
Taking their time right behind my back
        Em           G       C     
And I'm talking to myself at night
          B        Em  G C B
Because I can't forget
Em             G          C    
Back and forth through my mind
         B   Em    G C B
Behind a cigarette
      Am (actually G)        B (actually A)
And a message coming from my eyes says leave it alone 

Em G C B 4x

Am B E

---keep repeating the pattern in the next verses---


Don't want to hear about it
Every single one's got a story to tell
Everyone knows about it
From the Queen of England to the hounds of Hell
And if I catch it coming back my way
I'm gonna serve it to you
And that ain't what you want to hear
But that's what I'll do
And a feeling coming from my bones says find a home 

I'm going to Wichita
Far from this opera, forever more
I'm going to work the straw
Make the sweat drip out of every pore
And I'm bleeding and I'm bleeding and I'm bleeding
Right before the Lord
All the words are going to bleed from me
And I will think no more
And the stains coming from my blood tell me go back home
