The White Stripes I Fought Piranhas Lyrics

INTRO:
SLIDE RIFF (Johnny):
G#|--10/12----------------------
Over SLIDE RIFF (Jack):
VERSE 1: (SLIDE RIFF, with 0-3b--0 from Jack's guitar)
Well, I hold the rope
And I hold the sail
And I kept my papers
To keep from land' in jail
And I fought piranhas
And I fought the cold
There was no one with me
I was all alone, yeah
BREAK 1:
G#|--------10-10/12----10-10/12---------------------------10/12-------10/12-----------------------
Yeah!
SOLO 1: Johnny plays P.M. E5 chords under Jack
VERSE 2:
Well, it's Easter morning now
And there's no one around
So I unroll the sermon
And walk into the town
There was no one with me
I was all alone
And I fought piranhas
And I fought the cold, yeah
BREAK 2: Jack
SOLO 2: Jack plays a decending 3-2-0 on the low E string while Johnny solos with a slide
G#|-10-10/12----10/12----10-10/12---------10/12-------10-10/12-----0-10/12-------10/12----10/12-----0--
VERSE 3:
Well, you know what it's like
I don't gotta tell ya
Who puts up a fight
Walkin' out of hell, now
When you fought piranhas
And you fought the cold
An' there's nobody with you
Yes, you're all alone, yeah
BREAK 3: E5 with acending slide, hitting the high B and E strings alternately
G#|--------------------------------------
G#|-------------------------10/12-----
