Seven Nation Army Correct Guitar Tablature
Artist: The White Stripes
Song: Seven Nation Army
Album: Elephant

Tabbed by: Prateek Sharma

First off, I cannot believe how many of these tabs are wrong.
It is insane with the amount of tabs I see wrong in the archive.
So I'm going to start off by saying that is 100% correct...that's right
100%!
What Jack White does is use octaves, yes you've heard it like a
thousand times, but he uses octaves to get his bass sound.
So what we will be doing is tuning our Low E string down to a B


If you've seen any of my other tabs, you will know that I 
bring you quality, especially when it comes to THe White
Stripes!

Please rate, send comments, and do not steal tabs...from
anyone! People work hard on these and other people just
steal them and put them as there own, please don't do 
it just to boost your tab count. Mods will catch you!

Lyrics
======

Verse
-----
Im gonna fight em off
A seven nation army couldn't hold me back
They're gonna rip it off
Taking their time right behind my back
And I'm talking to myself at night 
Because I cant forget
Back and forth through my mind
Behind a cigarette

Bridge
------
And the message coming from my eyes
Says leave it alone

Verse
-----
Dont want to hear about it
Every single ones got a story to tell
Everyone knows about it
From the Queen of England to the hounds of hell
And if I catch it coming back my way
Im gonna serve it to you
And that ain't what you want to hear,
But thats what Ill do

Bridge
------
And the feeling coming from my bones
Says find a home

Verse
-----
I'm going to Wichita
Far from this opera for evermore
I'm gonna work the straw
Make the sweat drip out of every pore
And I'm bleeding, and I'm bleeding, and I'm bleeding
Right before the lord
All the words are gonna bleed from me and I will think
No more

Bridge
------
And the stains coming from my blood 
Tell me go back home

And That's it...contact me if you need me
at prat67@symptico.ca

All in all, it's a pretty good song!
