I Want To Be The Boy To Warm Your Mother's Heart by The White Stripes
from the album Elephant

Tabbed by Keith Railton (guitar @ mooworldorder.com)

Aiee! First of all let me admit that slide guitar is like a foreign 
language to me. This song features slide guitar. I will ignore that. If 
you know about slide guitar, you can translate this and put it into one 
of your crazy tunings. =)


=====================================================================


INTRO/VERSE
This tune starts with piano playing D, C and G.

|----2--|-----0--3--|
|----3--|-----1--3--|
|----2--|-----0--0--|
|-0--0--|-----2--0--|
|-------|--3--3--2--|
|-------|--------3--|
  D        C     G

A clean guitar plays a little arpeggio over the top, something like:

|-----------------------------|-----------------------------|
|-------7-------------7-------|-------5---------------------|
|---------7-------------7-----|---------5-----------4-------|
|----7------7------7------7---|----5------5-----------5-----|
|-5-------------5-------------|-3----------------5------5---|
|-----------------------------|---------------3-------------|
  D                             C             G



RIFF TWO
('What kind of cartwheels...')

 w/ overdriven guitar                  (* see note -------------------)

                                       (*2 see note ------------------)

* NB: This two bar D bitty is accompanied by piano playing something 
like:

  (let ring)

FILL 
This is played before 2nd verse and is also the rhythm for the slide 
guitar lead. Basically, we're back to the D, C, G progression... with a 
twist:

(piano)                                           *3
|-------------------------------|----------------|------------------|
|--------7-----8p7-------8p7----|--------5-------|------------------|
|--------7---------7-----7---7--|----------5-----|-----4--4-\-2-----|
|-7------------------7---7------|----5-------5---|-----5--5-\-3-----|
|-5---5------5------------------|-3--------------|-----5--5-\-3-----|
|-------------------------------|----------------|-0h3-3--3-\-1-----|

*3 NB: This bar has a distorted guitar playing the same chords.



Back to verse, with a more prominent overdriven guitar playing the 
basically the same chords as the initial verse riff. Then to Riff Two 
again . . . then the dreaded slide guitar.



SLIDE LEAD
If there is a note in brackets/parentheses after or before a slide, this 
means don't pick the note, just slide to it (a legato slide). Make all 
these slides as long and slow as possible (or use a slide, I suppose).


(last bar of Riff Two)

-----7-------7-------7-----7--|
-5/7-----5/7-----5/7---5/7----|

 (let ring)                                                         x4
||---------------------------5-\-|------------------------------------||
||/-7---7------\(5)/(7)---7------|/-----5---/--(12)-12--12-\(10)-\----||

||/-7-------7--\(5)/(7)----------|/-5-----/----(12)-12--12-\(10)---\-*||
||-------------------------------|------------------------------------||
||-------------------------------|------------------------------------||

This is the general idea. There variations on each repeat.


So, I think all the components to play the song are here. Just put 'em 
all in the right order.

The tune finishes on a D.
