THE WHITE STRIPES
BALL AND BISCUIT
ELEPHANT (2003-Track 08)
Tablature by KARMAPOLICEMAN23456

I got fed up with the other tabs for this song as the riffs sound crap and there are no lead parts so idecided i'd give it a crack

This a simple twleve bar blues song-
E E E E A A E E B A E E
as far as I can tell each riff are just different variations of the riffs below 

standard tuning
Riff E

e----0--0--0------------|----0--0--0----------
B----0--3--0------------|----0--3--0----------
G--1----------x-x-x-----|--1----------x-x-x---

A--2----------x-x-x-----|--2----------x-x-x---
E--0----------x-x-x--0h3|--0----------x-x-x--3

occasionally it does something along the lines of this

B----0--3--0------------3-------|
G-----------------2s4--4s2p0----|
D--1-------------------------2p0|
A--2----------------------------|
E--0----------------------------|

also this for two bars on two occasions during the song instead of 2 E riffs-
