I have been playing this song, as well as Littel birdy, in open G according to the tab on brokenbricks.com but when I try to play along, I am obviously not int eh same tuning as the CD or bLACKPOOL LIGHTS. Blackpool lights sounds like it should be in A, but the fingering will be differnent. after a bit of time looking for other tabs, I have found ones in open A, open G, and open D, which means at least 2/3 are wrong. Can anyone confidently line me up with a decent tab for these songs ?? I will PM Rick when I have my question fully thought out, but thought I would start by grovelling to you guys. I know it's not PJ, but this is the White Stripes Love Zone, is it not ??
The only tab book for sale is Elephant, which I have.

    Actually, I have workrd out the answer.
    They are both in open G on the albums, but he plays them in open A on the DVD. BAstard !! As if my tuning life is not complicated enough.

    You could always tune to G and just Capo on the second fret when you're rockin out with the dvd.

    That would work, but my brain would explode trying to keep track of where I am on the fretboard.
    Ne'er mind, I'll just add it to the list of tunings I need to pla all the stuff I like.

    I'm the same way...unless it's simple open chords, like in Wonderwall for example, I get all screwed up when it comes to capos. It's probably only because I rarely play with them, so my brain rarely gets the chance to get used to it.
