Artist: The White Stripes
Song: The Hardest Button to Button
Tabbed By. Prateek *Bitchin* Sharma
prat67@symaptico.ca
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE RATE ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This tab just, just like my other tab,(Jack The Ripper) shows only part of the power chord.
This is simply because, this is how Jack WHite does it. You can use the
full thing, but don't expect the exact same sound from the song.

Lyrics
Verse
=====
We started living in an old house
My ma gave birth and we were checking it out
It was a baby boy
So we bought him a toy
It was a ray gun
And it was 1981
We named him Baby
He had a toothache
He started crying
It sounded like an earthquake
It didnt last long
Because I stopped it
I grabbed a rag doll
And stuck some little pins in it
Chorus
======
Now were a family
And were alright now
We got money and a little place
To fight now
We dont know you
And we dont owe you
But if you see us around
I got something else to show you
Verse
=====
Well its easy when you dont know better
You think its sleazy?
Then put it in a short letter
We keep warm
But theres just something wrong when you
Just feel like youre the hardest button
To button
Chorus
======
I had opinions
That didnt matter
I had a brain
That felt like pancake batter
I got a backyard
With nothing in it
Except a stick
A dog
And a box with something in it
Outro
=====
The Hardest Button to Button
The Hardest Button to Button Uh oh
The Hardest Button to Button
The Hardest Button to Button Uh oh
And that's it. The tab is perfect, but if you beleive that you
found an error, then e-mail me at" prat67@sympatico.ca
