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

Song

I'm tabbing this because I know people have tried to get this perfect but haven't

got it spot on.The timing between lead and second guitar aren't right so don't

try and read the timing.

Tuning: Dropped D *=PM

Lead After this do:

e|-----------------------------------------------------------|---------------|
B|----7p0---------7------------7----7------------------7---7-|---------7-7---|
G|--------7-6-----7-7-6------7-7----7----------------7-7---7-|---------7-7---|
D|-/9-----------7---------/9-----------------------9---------|-------9-------|
A|-----------------------------------------------------------|---------------|
D|---------------------------------------12\5/--0------------|-12\5----------|

Rhythm (you kind of stab the chords, if you get the idea (short and loud))

e|-------------4-4-4--4-4--------------2-2--4-4-4--4-4-----------------------|
B|-------------3-3-3--3-3----------8-8-3-3--3-3-3--3-3-----------------------|
G|-4-4-----2-2-4-4-4--4-4----------7-7-2-2--4-4-4--4-4-----------------------|
D|-4-4-----2-2-2-2-2--2-2----------5-5-0-0--2-2-2--2-2-----------------------|
A|-2-2-----0-0-2-2-2--2-2-2p0-2-4--5-5------2-2-2--2-2-2p-0-2p-0-------------|
D|-------------2-2-2--2-2-2p0-2-4--5-5------2-2-2--2-2-2p-0-2p-0-------------|

[Verse] (lead), end intro with a few D chords and use clean guitar for this.

e|--------------2---------3p2-x-x-----------------2------3p2-----------------|

[Verse] (rhythm), this is wierd because the second guitar acts like the bass but

slightly more powerful. I could tell Grohl was playing single notes when I saw

this live on T.V. Oh yeah and the timing's not right.

e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|-2--5--2--5--2--0----------------------------------------------------------|
D|-------------------2-------------------------------------------------------|

The second verse is basically the same but with slightly different variations of

the twiddley parts. It's quite hard to tab it while there's loud singing, but hey

I think I got it pretty good.

End of 2nd verse bit (lead)

e|-----------------------------4----------4--4-4-------4--4-4----------------|
B|-----------------------------3----------3--3-3-------3--3-3----------------|
G|-----------------------------4----------4--4-4-------4--4-4----------------|
D|-2--2-2-2-2--2-2--2-2-2------2----------2--2-2-------2--2-2----------------|
A|-0--0-0-0-0--0-0--0-0-0-2-2-----0-2p0-2--------2p0-2--------2/-------------|
D|------------------------2-2-----0-2p0-2--------2p0-2--------2/-------------|

L.R----------------------

Rhythm(timing is correct and lined up with lead)

e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|----------------------------------------------------------------2--2-4-----|
A|----------------------------------------------------------------2--2-4-----|
D|----------------------------------------------------------------2--2-4-----|

[Chorus] (both guitars) then:

e|---------------------x-x------------]--------------------------------------|
B|-8-8-x-x-8-8-8-8-7-7-x-x-7-7-7-7-7--]------------------6-6-6-6-3-3-3-3-----|
G|-7-7-x-x-7-7-7-7-7-7-x-x-7-7-7-7-7--]------------------5-5-5-5-2-2-2-2-----|
D|-5-5-x-x-5-5-5-5-7-7-x-x-7-7-7-7-7--]--5-5-5-5-5-5-5---3-3-3-3-0-0-0-0--x2-|
A|-5-5-x-x-5-5-5-5-5-5-----5-5-5-5-5--]--3-3-3-3-2-2-2-0-3-3-3-3-0-0-0-0-----|
D|-5-5-x-x-5-5-5-5--------------------]----------------0-3-3-3-3-0-0-0-0-----|

[Interlude] (rhythme=intro chords)

Do a bit of the intro then follow up by this:

e|------------------0--------------------------------------------------------|
B|-----0-----------0-----7p0-------7-----------7-7-7-------------------------|
G|----1---2-1--2p1-----------7-6---7-7-6-----7-7-7-7-------------------------|
D|-0h2---0-------------/9--------7--------/9---------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|----------------------------------------------------/17\-------------------|

Then do this (lead) b=bend for full

e|-7-7-7-7---------7-7-7-7---------------------------------------------------|
B|-8-8-8-8-7-7-7-7-8-8-8-8-7-7-7-7-10b---------------------------------------|
G|-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-------------------------------------------|
D|---------7-7-7-7---------7-7-7-7-------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|

Rhythm to above

e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-------------------------7-7-7-7-------------------------------------------|
G|---------7-7-7-7---------7-7-7-7-------------------------------------------|
D|-5-5-5-5-7-7-7-7-5-5-5-5-7-7-7-7-------------------------------------------|
A|-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-------------------------------------------|
D|-5-5-5-5---------5-5-5-5---------------------------------------------------|

Then there's a verse followed by a chorus but I can't figure out the chords that

go over the top of the last chorus. But just do it normally and it sounds fine.

Thanx, hope you like the tab. If not please correct my mistakes.
