                             The Black Keys - Bullet In The Brain
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: muffin97

The Black Keys performed this new song off of Turn Blue at their gig for BBC Radio 1 
with Zane Lowe. I canīt transcribe the official studio version of "Bullet In The Brain" 
because the album is not out yet, so this is just the live version (although I donīt 
think the studio version will be VERY different from this.) It is a pretty cool and psychedelic 
track and very easy to play:


Tuning: Standard

Intro:

Dan does some random finger-picking, which I donīt wanna figure out because Iīm quite 
sure this part will be a bit different on the album version. Also, Dan is known to change 
finger-picking parts every time he plays one (see Little Black Submarines, he does a different 
kind of picking almost every time). The chords are correct, though.

B|--6-------------------------------3-----------------1----|
G|--7-------------------------------4-----------------2----|
D|--7-------------------------------5-----------------3----|
A|--5-------------------------------5-----------------3----|
E|---------------------------------------------------------|


Then the other instruments join the guitar and Dan brings in some fuzz. The chords are 
the same, until the main keyboard theme comes in. From then on, Dan plays this:

I was able to figure out the keyboard part, too (2x):

e|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|----------------------br-------------------------------------------------------------|
D|--7----/10----/12----/12-----12----------7----/10----/12----\3----\5-----------------|
A|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|


Verse:

Richard "Dick" Swift plays a funky bass line, that you can play like this on guitar (it 
remains the same throughout the whole verse, just repeat):


e|-----------------------------------------|
B|-----------------------------------------|
G|-----------------------------------------|
D|-----------------------------------------|
A|----5--3----3----------------------------|
E|--3------------5--3--3----1----3----1----|


The rest of the song is just a repeating of the parts.
