I’m Slowly Turning Into You By The White Stripes Icky Thump, 2007 Tabbed by Thomas Buhler If you find any mistakes, or have any questions about this tab, email me at: [email protected] Standard Tuning (EADGBe) 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.

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.
