The Black Keys Fan Lounge Forum

Can't remember if anyone had worked this one out on the old forum. I guess it doesn't matter now. So I worked on it over the past few hours and I've gotten from the intro up to the first verse. It's possible that I learned the foundation from someone on the old boards. If so, I suppose you know who you are. Feel free to take credit.

Comments/Questions/Corrections welcome. Enjoy.

I've played through it a few times now, sounds pretty damn close.

I've been playing My mind is rambling non-stop since yesterday. That tab is really good. I wouldn't mind seeing Work me done. I have a lot of it figured out but would like to see your take on it. There are very few good Chulahoma tabs out there.

The tab rocks. Its been a real treat playing this. Does anyone have any backing or percussion tracks by chance?

Thats the same tabs i found and I found another one too. I will see if I can dig up the link but its more like this (below)
But I like the version you posted better.
Love this song so much I practically played until my fingers bled!

yeah that's what sucks about forums, tabs are a pain to post. what I've started doin is making them in a notepad document and uploading to mega upload or the like, much easier.

Seems like I have to forget about the bass note....just focus on the rest until I have that down and then bring in that bass in.

Fenster! You're back? Where ya been Lebowski?
