Black Math Tab

by White Stripes


You can play this open or barred. 
I believe the album version plays the verses 
barred and the chorus open, though I'm not 
sure. I'm sure this tab is correct though!

Intro:
            
       

                                                       
Don't you think that I'm bound to react now?
                                                 
Well, my fingers are definitely turning to black now
                             
Yeah, well maybe I'll put my love on ice
                           
Teach myself, maybe that'll be nice Yeah

My books are sitting at the top of the stack now
The longer words are really breaking my back now
Maybe I'll learn to understand
Drawing a square with a pencil in hand, yeah


Mathematically turning the page
Unequivocally showing my age

I'm practically center stage
Undeniably earning your wage
                       
Well maybe I'll put my love on ice
                        
And teach myself, maybe that'll be nice, yeah

Listen master, can you answer a question?
Is it the fingers, or the brain
that you're teaching A lesson?
I can't tell you how proud I am
I'm writing down things that I don't understand
Well, maybe I'll put my love on ice
And teach myself, maybe that'll be nice

Yeah,yeah,yeah
