The White Stripes
Fell in Love With a Girl
The White stripes are the best and If my parents didn’t have 
To stay home 
And watch the MD championship I would have gone to see 
Them at the 9:30 club
Anyway… It’s a pretty easy song, all power chords. Here it is

Riff A

E-------------------------5---5-5---5-5-5-5---------------------------------------------------
A-2—2-2--2-2-2-2----7---7-7---7-7-7-7-----5---5-5---5-5-5-5-----2--2-2--2-2-2-2---
D-4—4-4--2-4-4-4-----------------------------7---7--7---7-7-7-7-----2--2-2--2-2-2-2--
G-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
B-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
E--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

That’s the rhythm for just about every power chord. You might have to listen to the song to get it just right. Also, I know it looks like there should be an open E on the last chord but it sound better if you mute it with your first finger.

Riff B

E-2—2-2—2-2-2-2—---5--5-5--5-5-5-5--------------------------------------------------------
A-4--4-4---4-4-4-4-------7--7-7--7-7-7-7----5--5-5--5-5-5-5-----2--2-2--2-2-2-2-----------
D--------------------------------------------------7--7-7--7-7-7-7-----2--2-2--2-2-2-2-----------
G--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
B---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
E---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Like I said, the rhythm is pretty much the same the whole time

Riff C

E-2—2-2—2-2-2-2---------5--5-5--5-5-5-5----2------
A-4—4-4—4-4-4-4---------7--7-7--7-7-7-7----4------
D------------------------------------------------------------
G-------------------------------------------------------------
B-----------------------------------------------------------
E------------------------------------------------------------

Only use this riff for the part where the music stops and he uses that weird voice

Verse One

Riff A
Fell in love with a girl,
Fell in love once and almost completely
She’s in love with the world,
But sometimes these feelings can be so misleading

Riff B
She turns and says, “Are you alright?”
I said, “I must be fine because my hearts still beating”

Riff C
She says, “Come on and kiss me by the river side, (stop)
Bobby says it’s fine he don’t consider it cheating”

Verse Two

Riff A
Red hair with a curl,
Mellow roll for the flavor
And the eyes for peeping
Can’t keep away from the girls,
The sides of my brain need to have a meeting

Riff B
Can’t think of anything to do
My left-brain knows that all love is fleeting

Riff C
She’s looking for something new, (stop)
I said it once before but it bares repeating

Then they just repeat the verses again
