Title: I Can Learn
Band: The White Stripes
Album: White Blood Cells (2001)

tabbed by scef (email: funnell_teen_spirit@yahoo.com)


the only song on the album left to work out and by gum
i've done it mwahahahahaha


NB: this song has a time signature of 6/8


chords
Em 022000
B5 x244xx
A5 577xxx
G5 355xxx
Bb5 688xxx
Asus2 x02200


intro - just strum away at Em on a clean electric

Em B5 A5
I wish we were
G5 A5 Bb5 B5 <---hit on the distortion!
stuck up a tree
Em B5 A5 <---back to clean tone
Then we'd know
G5 A5 Bb5 B5 <---hit distortion on again!
that it's ni-cer be - low


then there's this bit
e-------|---------|-----|
B-------|---------|-----|
G-4-4-4-|---------|-2---|
D-4-4-4-|---------|-2---|
A-2-2-2-|-0h2-0---|-0---|
E-2-2-2-|-------3-|-----|
| |
|<---riff A---->|


then after the line "don't know any lullabys" the
guitar returns to a clean tone and strums chords,
except for distortion where indicated

Asus2*
...don't know how...
Em**
but I can learn


*each time you reach the 6th beat of every other bar
whilst playing this chord, play a single note G on the
3rd fret of the 6th (lowest) string. if that makes
little sense you can pick it up by listening to the
track

**when you first hit the above Em use distortion, then
fade to a clean tone strumming, then put distortion
back on and play riff A, then:

see above
/
/
Asus2*
...I saw lovers...
B5 <---hit on the distortion!
well now it's...


then play this 3 times after the above B5 is played a
few times:
e---|-------------|-----|
B---|-------------|-----|
G-4-|-7-7-7-7-7---|-4---|
D-4-|-7-7-7-7-7---|-4---|
A-0-|-5-5-5-5-5-0-|-2---|
E---|-------------|-----|

then play riff A, then play this (a slight variation
on riff A)
e---------|-0---|
B---------|-0---|
G---------|-0---|
D---------|-2---|
A-0h2-0---|-2---|
E-------3-|-0---|

then guitarwise it's just a case of pretty much
repeating the above, using more contrast in the
changes between the clean tone and distortion (ie
playing the clean tone parts more sparingly - strum
less and softer). end on this riff another variation
of riff A:
e-------|-0---|
B-------|-0---|
G-------|-0---|
D-------|-2---|
A-2-0---|-2---|
E-----3-|-0---|

and that's the whole album available on olga!
mwahahahahahahaha!!!!! enjoy!
