Child Of A Few Hours Tabs

(ver. 1)
The Dead Weather
I haven't done any tabs before but I'm bored and jamming with this song so here is
close to the song's general idea. Probably pretty inaccurate.
I'm playing in standard tuning.
Here is the link to the live version I'm building this from 

|-0---0---0---0--|
|-0---0---0---0--|
|-0---0---0---0--| X3
|----------------| it sounds like up picking that's quickly muted.
|----------------|
|----------------|

|-0----------------------|
|-0-0h3p0----------------|
|-0-------2p0------------| X16
|-------------2--2--0--2-|
|------------------------|
|------------------------|

Now something to the effect of

|----0---------0----/12\--17-|
|----0---------0----/12\--17-|
|-1--0--0-0-x--0----/12\--17-|
|-2-----2-2-x----------------|
|-2-----2-2-x----------------|
|-0-----0-0-x----------------|

Then back to

|-0----------------------|
|-0-0h3p0----------------|
|-0-------2p0------------| X12
|-------------2--2--0--2-|
|------------------------|
|------------------------|

And this again

|----0---------0----/12\--17-|
|----0---------0----/12\--17-|
|-1--0--0-0-x--0----/12\--17-|
|-2-----2-2-x----------------|
|-2-----2-2-x----------------|
|-0-----0-0-x----------------|

Again

|-0----------------------|
|-0-0h3p0----------------|
|-0-------2p0------------| X2
|-------------2--2--0--2-|
|------------------------|
|------------------------|

Now into what I'm considering to be the solo (but the majority is three notes with some
with it or expand it with the Em pentatonic)

|----------------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------------|
|-----12----12h14-12--14-12--14bp12--12-----12--14--12-----|
|-/14----14------------------------14----14-------------14-|

|-14b--12--14bp12-------|

|-----12----12h14-12--14-12--14bp12--12-----12--14--12-----|
|-/14----14------------------------14----14-------------14-|
|----------------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------------|

|----------------------------|
|----------------------------|
|----------------------------|
|-12/14-12-12h14p12h14-------|
|----------------------14-12-|
|----------------------------|

|-------------------------------------------|
|-------------------------------------------|
|--------------------14b-12-14bp12----------|
|-------12-14bp12------------------14-12h14-|
|-12/14-----------14------------------------|
|-------------------------------------------|

|----------------------------|
|----------------------------|
|----12---12h14-12-----------|
|-14---14---------14-12------|
|----------------------------|
|-----------------------12/0-|

now return to

I think he plays it up at the twelfth fret using Em pentatonic but this feels more
to me. He also seems to stutter with this riff to his liking sometimes only playing a 
or
of it and sometimes changing the last note.(and it speeds up during the last few times 
played through)

Enjoy, and remember to pick up Horehound I believe July 14th in the U.S. and see The
Weather when they come to a town near you. I can't wait for Portland.
