I Think I Smell a Rat Guitar Tablature
"I Think I Smell A Rat" by The White Stripes
Off The Album "White Blood Cells"
transcribed by Pieter Kamps

fairly simple... all the other tabs I've seen for this have been close but slightly off,
and who knows, this one might be too. But I tabbed my best, after playing around, trying
to find the right chords I think I got it... standard tuning.

intro

Well all the chords and stuff are there. The order and such is kind of hard to explain... but listen to the song and 
I'm sure you'll be able to figure out where and when everything is played. I hope this helps you out...
