White Stripes - Im Slowly Turning Into You Tabs

I’m Slowly Turning Into You

Icky Thump, 2007

This song has uses a lot of dotted notes for a more rag-y feel to it, which can’t be 
in this tab. I tabbed this the best I could, but dotted rhythms are hard to tab for 
If you’ve listened to the song (I’m sure you have), be sure to abide by this rhythm.

INTRO:
G (ring) F F N.C. x4
(repeat pattern)
The last 2 times I play this chord progression (and the rest of the song), I play G 
in order to emphasize percussion, but I left the extra G out so you can play the song how it 
played on the organ.

VERSE 1:
G                    F F N.C.
  I’m slowly turning into you
        G
But you don’t know this
F  F N.C.
To be true
            G
You say I’m lying and I never really
F    F N.C.
Tell you the truth
G          F    F N.C.
  But your face is getting older
G             F    F N.C.          G F F N.C.
  So put your head on my shoulder.
G               F    F  N.C.       G F F N.C.
  Yeah put your head on my shoulder.

VERSE 2:
G              F   F N.C.
  Yesterday it hit me that I do
        G
All the little things
     F   F N.C.
That you do
             G
Except those same little things
         F
That you do
F N.C.
Are annoying.
G           F  F N.C.
  They’re annoying as hell in fact
G            F      F N.C.
  It kind of struck a little bell in fact
G           F    F N.C.
  I like to keep my little shell intact.

5th time:  And I’m slowly          turning         in   -    to you x2

G F F N.C. x2

VERSE 3:
G                     F    F N.C.
  Then something else came to mind
                 G
And that was the mirror
        F    F N.C.
It made everything clearer
G                  F   F N.C.
  That you’re more beautiful
               G
Compelling and stronger
          F  F N.C.
It didn’t take much longer
G                F  F N.C.
  Just for me to realize
               G
I love all the little things
        F   F N.C.
And the beauty that they’re gonna bring
G                   F F N.C.
  I dig your little laugh
                    G
And I’m loving your quick wit
       F    F N.C.
I even love it when you’re faking it!
G                        F  F N.C.
  And this might sound a little strange
          G
For me to say to you

But
    F F N.C.
I’m proud to be you.
