Black Math chords by The White Stripes

Guitar chords with lyrics

Title: Black Math
Band: The White Stripes
Album: Elephant (2003)

tabbed by scef (email funnell_teen_spirit@yahoo.com)

elephant track number 2 in all (well, most of) its
glory...
hope this isn't too confusing to follow but this
seemed to be the easiest way to tab it out...the chord
shapes are easy but they can change damn quickly

where there are '*'s either side of where a riff is,
there's that really long solo which i haven't worked
out yet cos it'd take ages and i can't be bothered
right now, so i might tab it out some other time,
unless if anyone else beats me to it...
