The White Stripes waren eine Rockband aus Detroit. Sie gehörten zu den wichtigsten Vertretern des garagenrock.   Besonderes Kennzeichen war, dass die Besetzung nur aus den zwei Mitgliedern Jack und Meg White bestand, was den minimalistischen Charakter ihrer Musik unterstrich.  Gitarrist und Sänger Jack White und Schlagzeugerin sowie sporadische Sängerin Meg White waren zu Anfangszeiten der Band nicht nur musikalisch verbunden, sondern bis ins Jahr 2000 verheiratet. Die Ehe ging zu einer Zeit in die Brüche, in der der musikalische Aufstieg der White Stripes begann.

I was watching, with one eye on the other side,
      D                                        G
I had fifteen people telling me to move, I got movin? on my mind.
        G                C                            
I found shelter, in some dolls turning wheels around,
          D                             G
I've said 39 times that I love u to the beauty I have found.

          G              
Well it's, one, two, three, four, take the elevator,
       C            			        D
At the hotel Yorba I'll be glad to see you later,  
                             G  D  G  
All they got inside is vacancy

          G                     C
I've been thinking, by a little place down by the lake
              D
They've got a dirty old road leading up to the house
        G
I wonder how long it will take
           G
Till we're alone,
             C
Sitting on a front porch of that home

D
Stompin our feet, on the wooden boards,
G
Never gotta worry about locking the door

          G        
Well its, one, two, three, four, take the elevator,
       C                                         D
At the hotel Yorba I'll be glad to see you later,

All they got inside is vacancy

               G                      C
It might sound silly, for me to think childish thoughts like these
    D                                                   G
But I'm so tired of acting tough, and I gonna do what I please.

          G                          C
Let's get married in a big cathedral by a priest
        D
Because if I'm the man that you love the most,
          G
You could say I do at least.

          G  
Well its, one, two, three, four, take the elevator,
       C                    		        D
At the hotel Yorba I'll be glad to see you later,
                             G
All they got inside is vacancy
         G                                         
And it's four, five six, seven, grab the umbrella,
       C                                          D
And grab hold of me cause I?m your favourite fella,

All they got inside is vacancy

Hotel Yorba

&quot;Fell in Love with a Girl&quot; is a song by the American garage rock band The White Stripes, written and produced by Jack White for the band's third studio album, White Blood Cells (2001). Released as the album's second single in 2002, it reached number twenty-one on both the U.S. Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles and the UK Singles Chart. The song was covered in 2003 as &quot;Fell in Love with a Boy&quot; by Joss Stone and as a lounge song by Richard Cheese and Lounge Against the Machine for their 2002 album Tuxicity.

{ There are two riffs in this song. I wrote the power chords into chords in the key of A major, because that is what I think the song was written in (either that or Bm). You'll have to listen to the song to find out when the riff change is. It's not hard.}

I'm Slowly Turning Into You

Verse 1:

       Am           Em    
she was sixteen and six feet tall
     D                         C  
In a crowd of teenagers coming out of the zoo
    Am                Em                         
She stumbled start to slip and fall
        D                            C 
Teeter-tottered on the top of patent leather shoes
  Am          Em                                      
I happened to catch her and said,
       D                      C                             Am     Em
"maybe these ruby shoes are a little cumbersome for you"
          Am   Em        
maybe for you, yeah.

Verse 2:

Am                    Em
But not as shaky as I must have seemed
        D                        C
Talkin' junk through her giggle, little teenage dream
Am                         Em
And on the phone I could not compete
    D                        C
My dumb-love fake competence was getting weak
  Am                   Em 
For a sec' I thought I sounded sweet
    D                      C
But sure 'nough in a gruff, faint voice
        Am     Em      Am
I heard myself speak


Chorus:
D              A
I could stay a while
    C               G
But sooner or later I'll break your smile
D         A
And I can tell a joke
    C                 G
But one of these days I'm bound to choke
D                    A
And we could share a kiss
      C                    G
But I feel like I can't go through with this
    D              A
And I bet we could build a home
      C                    G
But I know the right thing for me to do
                Am     Em
Is to leave you alone
          Am     Em
Leave you alone, now

Verse 3:

Am
I'm beginning to like you
                                   C
So you probably won't get what I'm going to do
Am            Em     
I'm walkin' away from you
   D                        C
It probably don't make much sense to you
Am                Em    
But I'm trying to save you
     D                      C                        Am     Em
From all of the things that I'll probably say or do
     Am           Em
I'll probably say or do. 

Chorus:

I could stay a while
But sooner or later I'll break your smile
And I can tell a joke
But one of these days I'm bound to choke
And we might share a kiss
But I feel like a can't go through with this
And I bet we could build a home
But I know the right thing for me to do
Is to leave you alone
Leave you alone, now

Verse 4 : Vocals Only 
Am
You'll probably call me a fool
And say I'm doin' exactly what a coward would do
And I'm beginning to like you
What a shame it's a lame way to live
But what can I do?
I hope you appreciate what I do
                     Am       Em     Am
I'm a martyr for my love for you
 Em                      Am    Em    Am
A martyr for my love for you, now
 Em                    Am    Em     Am 
A martyr for my love for you
 Em                    Am   Em     Am
A martyr for my love for you

Am     Em

and you'll be there when she finds someone new

        A             D
what to do, well you know 

D                    G                    C  Em  A
You keep her in your pocket where there's no way out

D                      G                 C    Em    A    (Am)
Put it in the safe and lock it, cuz it's home sweet home

                                                  G     D
The smile on your face made her think she had the right one

Am                                                     G    D
Then she thought she was sure by the way you two could have fun

C                                               G
But now she might leave like she's threatened before

C                                               F                       A
Grab hold of her fast before her feet leave the floor and she's out the door

        D
cuz you want

D                   G                    C  Em  A
To keep her in your pocket where there's no way out

D                      G                 C    Em    A    (Am)
Put it in the safe and lock it, cuz it's home sweet home

                                                   G     D
And in your own mind you know you're lucky just to know her

Am                                         G    D
And in the beginning all you wanted was to show her

C                                              G
But now you're scared, you think she's running away

C                                               F
You search in your hand for something clever to say 

F        A        D
Don't go away...  cuz I want

D                 G                    C  Em  A
To keep you in my pocket where there's no way out 

D                  G                C    Em    A
Put it in a safe a lock it cuz it's home sweet home

C    G     A
Home sweet home

I want to be the boy to warm your mother's heart

I'm so scared to take you away
D                                   C
I tried to win her over but from the start
        G                       D
But something always got in the way
D                                       C
We've been sitting in your backyard for hours
        G                            D
But she won't even come out and say "hi"
D                               C
While MY mother backed a little cake for you

And even dreaded when you said goodbye


F                                     G
What kind of Cart-wheels do I have to pull?
G                                      D
What kind of jokes should I lay on her now?
F                              G
I'm inclined to go finish high-school

Just make her notice that I'm around

It's really got me snoring

Until he makes a stand

Well, I'm not a genius

But maybe you'll remember this
G
I never said I ever wanted
D
To be a man

Yeah,

I get nervous when she comes around

When she comes around

Hey!
A
My mom is so caring
C
She really got me staring
G
At all the crazy little things
G
She does for sure
A
And I can't seem to think of
C
Another kind of love
G
That a boy could ever get
D
From anyone but her

Yeah,
G                      Bb
I get nervous when she comes around

Little ghost, little ghost
        C             G
One I'm scared of the most
                                    D
Can you scare me up a little bit of love?
        G
I'm the only one that sees you,
      C                G
And I can't do much to please you
                         D              G
And it's not yet time to meet the lord above
(G)
The first moment that I met her
      C            G
I did not expect a specter
                                       D
When I shook her hand I really shook a glove
            G 
She looked into me so sweetly
       C                G
And we left the room discreetly
                           D             G
No one else could know the secret of our love
G
Little ghost, little ghost
        C             G
One I'm scared of the most
                                    D
Can you scare me up a little bit of love?
       G
I'm the only one that sees you,
      C                G
And I can't do much to please you
                         D              G
And it's not yet time to meet the lord above

G
Every morning I awoke
      C             G
And I see my little ghost
                                          D
Wond'rin' if it's really her that's lying there
          G
I lean to touch her and I whisper
        C               G
But not brave enough to kiss her
                      D              G
When I held her I was really holding air

G
Little ghost, little ghost
        C             G
One I'm scared of the most
                                    D
Can you scare me up a little bit of love?
       G
I'm the only one that sees you,
      C                G
And I can't do much to please you
                         D              G
And it's not yet time to meet the lord above

G
Though I try my best to keep it
      C             G         
There really was no secret
           G (slowly strum up and down)      D
Must have looked like I was dancing with the wall

***Listen to the song to get this part right***
(no strumming)  G***               C*** G*** 
        No one else could see this apparition
(no strumming) C***          G***
        But because of my condition
(no strumming)    G                  D                  G
        I fell in love with a little ghost and that was all
G
Little ghost, little ghost
        C             G
One I'm scared of the most
                                    D
Can you scare me up a little bit of love?
        G
I'm the only one that sees you,
      C                G
And I can't do much to please you
                         D              G
And it's not yet time to meet the lord above
                         D              G C G D G
No, it's not yet time to meet the lord above

-----F----------------B----------------C------------------F
Forever, just the word that she said that means never
-----D#-------B----------F
To be with another together

And with the weight of a feather it tore into me

Then I knew it
---------B-------------C-------------F
All the work that it took to get through it
----------D#----------B-------------F
On the wings of a feather that flew it
-------B----------C------------F
Fell under my shoe it cut up into me

--------C---------------B-----------F
Well, everybody's reaction is changing you
------C------------------------B----------------------C
But their love is only a fraction of what I can give to you
-----------F----------B----------C-----------------F
So let's do it, just get on a plane and just do it
-----------D#-------------B---------------F
Like the birds and the bees and get to it
-------B-----------C--------------F
Just get out of town and forever be free
-----F---------B-------------C---------------F
Forever, a word that we could say together
-----------D#--------------B--------------F
It could change if you want for the better

Just tug on my shirt and lay down next to me

Nobody got me waitin' in pain
But how come it's so easy to you
You don't strike me as the type to be callous
But your words seem so obtuse
But then again I know you feel guilty
And you tell me you want me again
But I don't need any of your pity
I got plenty of my own friends
They're all above me

I'm going back to the time when we owned this town
      E
Down Powder Mill Lane, in the battlegrounds
C#m        B                   G#m  B     F#

We were wide eyed dreamers and wiser too


Chorus:

Go down to the rides on East Parade,

Verse 3:
                          B
I'm begging you for some sign, but you've still got nothing to say

Don't turn your back on me, don't walk away
C#m     B                   G#m  B   F#
I'm a better man now than I was that day

E D                 A
ooh you're overreacting

(you can change your mind)
E D                A
ooh you're overreacting

Overreacting

G Bm Em A
Well everybody's lookin' for something they can't find,
Walking straight ahead blind-folded production line,
Only taking time for one type of shoe-shine.
Don't look left/right now you got a street fine.
Everybody lookin' for just a little more.
Working late-nights trying to fight off the day glow.
Waiting for the come-around but it is a no show.
Driving in the fast lane lookin' for the slow-mo...

C D A
Oh whats in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know well I don't know man anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time you,
Where were you, you weren't listenin', gonna be a long time
Gonna be a long time.

G Bm Em A
So now you're face down, face lookin like a frying pan.
Hitting up the clubs trying to feel like a real man.
Beating your chest just like you're King Kong but you're just a gui-tar no-string no-song.
Feeling free like ya don't even know it, man you're towing the line hoping you just don't blow it.
Man ya stuck in the mainframe trying to win the big game so much potential it even makes it more of a shame, shame, shame...
Here we go again, same old shit just another name.
Looking at the destiny there in your palm,
But now you got your strings but you got no song.
So sing, sing, sing - shake it like a chicken wing.
It's not what you get it's about what you bring-bring-bring.
So bring it, bring it to the table, not because you have to 'cos you're willing and you're able!

C D A
Oh what's in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know, I don't know anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time.
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time.
You, where were you, you weren't listening, gonna be a long time.
Gonna be a long time.

Gonna Be A Long Time

C#
There's a portrait
     Ab
In a back room
           F#
Which I'll keep for days upon
          C#
Which I relent 
              B
And gaze for hours on
    Bbm                  F#
The muscle, skin and bone
         Ab
Of some imaginary friend

F# Ab F#

        C#
So how about it 
        Ab
Show me please 
           F#
How I will look in twenty years
           C#
And let me please 
          B
Interpret history 
       Bbm        F#
In every line and scar 
               Ab                  
That's painted there in front of me

F# Ab F# Ab F# Ab

           C#
It doesn't matter
         Ab
What I'm thinking
       F#
What I tell myself to do
         C#      F#
I end up calling

       C#
I stay in to
                   Ab
Defrost the fridge
        F#
Now the kid has gone to bed
             C#
A feeling of dread
              B         
At least when she's around
    Bbm
The trouble's there
     F#                        Ab
It's worse to wake up with her falling 'round the room

F# Ab F# Ab F# Ab

       C#
Listen Johnny
              F#
You're like a mother
       C#                     F#
To the girl you've fallen for
                 C#
And you're still falling

       C#
Listen Johnny
              Ab
You're like a mother
       F#
To the girl you've fallen for
                 C#
And you're still falling

            B
And if they come tonight
       Bbm
You'll roll up tight
     F#             Ab
And take whatever's coming to you next (oh, oh oh oh)

 F# Ab to end.
