Song: Who's To Say...
Artist: Blanche
Album: If We Can't Trust the Doctors...
This is an excellent song by what I consider one of the greatest bands of today. I haven't
seen a good tab of this so I decided to make my own. This is my first tab.

Chorus (it's easiest just to write out the lyrics and chords)
D A
You say that by now
E A
I should know you'll never love me
D A
But who's to say that what has never
F G A
Been will never be
F G A
What has been will never be
Next is the solo which features Jack White playing a 12 string acoustic guitar over the
verse pattern. I can't hear exactly what he's doing so I usually just mess around with
chords.

The Outro features another solo type thing over top of the pattern for the 1st verse. I
do what I did for the first solo.
