Playing The White Stripe's 'Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground' Intro

The actual notes in this are really easy to play, it's more about timing. This is a great piece of music to practice when you want to rock out a bit as you can crank the distortion up and even bend the strings a bit if you want to. It only uses ONE string, so you don't have to worry about moving your fingers about too much.
Here's the song:



The tab is as follows (I found several that were really badly written, so I wrote this myself):

e|-------------------------------------------|
B|-------------------------------------------|
G|-------------------------------------------|
D|-------------------------------------------|
A|-------------------------------------------|
E|-5---5--5-0-3---3--3-0-2--2-0-1--1-0-5---5-|

On the second time through I think there is a tiny bit of bending on the first note. You can hear it in the song

Here's a video of someone playing this on an acoustic guitar.



He skips the '0's in the tab above, well actualy he doesn't skip them, he plays them on the same fret rather than open. So the first '0' in the tab above would be a 5, the second would be a 3, the third would be a 2 etc
This is easier but doesn't sound as good IMO. Give it a go if you find my version a bit tricky.
