MY second go here. It's much better. The pre riff B section is still the worst. Also, its jack white; 
lots of impro. and slides all over the place. Just do it your own way.


Song Structure: kind of weird. I'd lean on just going with what feels right.

Intro A slide guitar
Intro A xylophone
Intro A xylophone and guitar (Ai) 
Intro B x2

Riff A x2
Intro B x2
Riff A x 2

Bridge x 4
Riff B x 3 (ending with the  {----R-----} section again)
Pre riff B x 8

Riff B x 4
Last part x 4
End on: x 1
