Blue Veins by The Raconteurs Thewhite549 nailed this tab in my opinion. So I copied his stuff for the album version the song, but if you've seen the Raconteurs live (especially this year, 2008) You'd know song isnt complete without the solo. So I decided to make a solo for it, most of it is ear, some of it is improvised, and I got help from a few videos of the solo.

all of these things All these things B7 They're all truly nice but ain't nothing Amin Ain't nothing compared to the love that's running through your little blue veins Your blue veins End on Amin
