I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself by The White Stripes
from the album Elephant
Tabbed by Keith Railton (guitar @ mooworldorder.com)
Another awesome song from the Elephant album! This CD makes me so happy! Not
much to say about this guitar-wise, just attack the notes when you need to.

PRE-CHORUS THING
This is where it's important to listen to the song. You need to get the
palm-muting right, and get the raked chords in the right place.

* NB: I think this is about the right chord. It's so heavily muted
and distorted it's hard to really tell. There's certainly an F and
that Bb in there. Try changing the C on the A string to an open A
for more dissonance.
