This song is a little different... i dont care for the white stripes but i love this song.
so... i dont know what to expect from them really. here it is, have at it.
Here's an idea of how to pick the chords:
G C D A Cadd9
|-----------| |-------0--| |----2------| |-----------| |-----------|
|----0------| |---1------| |--------3--| |----2------| |----3------|
|--------0--| |-----0----| |-----------| |--------2--| |--------0--|
|-----------| |----------| |--0---0----| |--2--------| |------2----|
|-----------| |-3--------| |-----------| |------0----| |--3--------|
|--3---3----| |----------| |-----------| |-----------| |-----------|
(last G chord on 4th verse and picked the same way for the rest of song):
G
|-----------|
|----3------|
|--------0--|
|-----------|
|-----------|
|--3---3----|

Start with that and go on to regular G
|-----------|
|-----------|
|----0---0--|
|-----------|
|-----------|
|--3---3----|
