Tabbed by: Connor O.
Tuning: Standard



A rare one from the Black Keys. From what I could find this recording was made
during a live show done on 9/1/2005. 

All the recordings I could find have pretty poor sound quality. It's not too 
bad, but it's really hard to tell if he's playing a low E bass-line during 
the slide parts of the solo. I didn't tab it, but it sound like Dan is 
playing a bass-line straight through the slide portions.


Key:
where # represents a fret number

#h# - hammer
#p# - pull
/ \ - slides, up and down respectively.
#b# - bend from normal note up to achieve bended note.
#r# - release bend from bended note to normal note.
=== - under boxes, represents the use of a guitar slide.
#b  - a slight bend a.k.a. a curl.
 x  - mute

Really straightforward from here. Just softly playing the main riff and throwing in a quick
verse identical to verse 1. Ending on the low E string.
