This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Song

Foo Fighters - Good Grief

From 'Foo Fighters' Debut Album

Drop-D Tuning

tabbed by jjhand

I did this tab since the others missed the 7th chords used in the main riffs. Its harder to

hear melodic differences like that, but playing the song like this sounds better.
