The Raconteurs - Blue Veins

      
 
 Thewhite549 nailed this tab in my opinion. So I copied his stuff for the album version
 the song, but if you've seen the Raconteurs live (especially this year, 2008) You'd know
 song isnt complete without the solo. So I decided to make a solo for it, most of it is
 ear, some of it is improvised, and I got help from a few videos of the solo. Enjoy
 
 THANKS TO THEWHITE549:

 When I was surrounded by the world
 You were the only one who came
 And you were the only one astounded
 Which kept me grounded
 As the other girls thrashed my very name

 Then I looked over
 Just in time to see her smiling back at me
 And saying everything's OK

 As long as you're inside my blue veins
 Your blue veins
 
                                Dm    
 Yeah and the feeling that you gave me
 
 No matter what I do or where I go
                  Am  
 It always will remain
 
        Dm                                                                          
 And those who would enslave me to get to me must get past you and will have no luck
                                Am    
 Cause you'll protect me from all pain
  C                     B7                                                          
 The most beautiful, yeah the most beautiful thing cause anything else can't compare
                                                Amin    
 Must be the blood that's running through your blue vein
 
 Your blue veins

  Am            
 Your blue veins
 
                        Dm      
 And I know you won't deceive me
                                        Am            
 Like the rest and there's nothing you need to explain
                                  Dm        
 You always were the first one to believe me
 
 When I said to you girl
                    Am  
 I think it's gonna rain
 
 But I could be wrong
 
   C                         
 Yeah but all of these things
 
 All these things
                   B7                    
 They're all truly nice but ain't nothing
                                                                Amin             
 Ain't nothing compared to the love that's running through your little blue veins
 
 Your blue veins
 
 End on Amin
