Foo Fighters - Exhausted Tabbed by Anthony McCaffrey This is a brilliant song and it sounds great on acoustic or electric guitars. If you are an electric guitar be sure to crank up the distortion. Notes: - Dropped D Tuning - Make sure you mute the low 'D' when it's not used. - The strumming pattern is only personal preference, if it sounds better played differently then feel free to leave a comment, I'm open to suggestions. The section I was unsure about with regards to strumming was bridge 2, try it and see what you think. - I tend to play the lower strings (A+D) a little harder on the down strums and the light strings (G+B+E) a little harder on the up strums. I sometimes miss a few strings on some strums just to give a similar sound to the way Grohl plays it on the album. - There's around a 50 second gap towards the end of the song.. You'll probably want to shorten it a bit if you're on the acoustic and if you're using an electric guitar make sure you get some feedback during this pause. I don't think you need to be exact with the timing, this section is just really good for a build up. - At the start of each section of the chorus you can sometimes hear him slide down the fret board rather than just strumming the open D power chord. - Lyrics aren't 100% :S Verse. ^ ^ | | ^ | ^ ^ | | ^ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | v v | v | | v v | v E|--1----1--1----1--1--1--|--1----1--1----1--1--1--| B|--3----3--3----3--3--3--|--0----0--0----0--0--0--| G|--2----2--2----2--2--2--|--2----2--2----2--2--2--| D|--0----0--0----0--0--0--|--0----0--0----0--0--0--| A|--0----0--0----0--0--0--|--3----3--3----3--3--3--| D|------------------------|------------------------| Dm (xx0231@1) G7 (320001@1) ^ ^ | | ^ | ^ ^ | | ^ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | v v | v | | v v | v |--0----0--0----0--0--0--|--0----0--0----0--0--0--| |--1----1--1----1--1--1--|--1----1--1----1--1--1--| |--0----0--0----0--0--0--|--2----2--2----2--2--2--| |--3----3--3----3--3--3--|--2----2--2----2--2--2--| |--3----3--3----3--3--3--|--0----0--0----0--0--0--| |------------------------|------------------------| Csus4 (x33010@1) Am (x02210@1) Bridge 1. ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | E|------------------------|------------------------| B|------------------------|------------------------| G|-3--3--3--3--3--3--3--3-|-2--2--2--2--2--2--2--2-| D|-3--3--3--3--3--3--3--3-|-2--2--2--2--2--2--2--2-| A|-1--1--1--1--1--1--1--1-|-0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0-| D|------------------------|------------------------| #A5 A5 (x022xx@1) ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |------------------------|------------------------| |------------------------|------------------------| |------------------------|------------------------| |-5--5--5--5--5--5--5--5-|-5--5--5--5--5--5--5--5-| |-5--5--5--5--5--5--5--5-|-5--5--5--5--5--5--5--5-| |-5--5--5--5--5--5--5--5-|-5--5--5--5--5--5--5--5-| A5 (x022xx@1) A5 (x022xx@1)Chorus. ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | E|-------------------------------------------------------| B|-------------------------------------------------------| G|-------------------------------------------------------| D|-0--3--5--7--3--0--3--0--3--0--3--5--7~-------7-----7--| A|-0--3--5--7--3--0--3--0--3--0--3--5--7~-------7-----7--| D|-0--3--5--7--3--0--3--0--3--0--3--5--7~-------7-----7--| D5F5 G5A5 F5D5 F5D5 F5D5 F5G5 A5 (x022xx@1) A5 (x022xx@1) A5 (x022xx@1) ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |-------------------------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------------------------| |-0--3--5--7--3--0--3--0--3--0--3--5--7~-------14-14-14-| |-0--3--5--7--3--0--3--0--3--0--3--5--7~-------14-14-14-| |-0--3--5--7--3--0--3--0--3--0--3--5--7~-------14-14-14-| D5F5 G5A5 F5D5 F5D5 F5D5 F5G5 A5 (x022xx@1) E5E5 E5 (022xxx@1) ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | E|-------------------------------------------------------| B|-------------------------------------------------------| G|-------------------------------------------------------| D|-0--3--5--7--3--0--3--0--3--0--3--5--7~----------------| A|-0--3--5--7--3--0--3--0--3--0--3--5--7~----------------| D|-0--3--5--7--3--0--3--0--3--0--3--5--7~----------------| D5F5 G5A5 F5D5 F5D5 F5D5 F5G5 A5 (x022xx@1) ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |-------------------------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------------------------| |-0--3--5--7--3--0--3--0--3--0--3--5--7~-------14----14-| |-0--3--5--7--3--0--3--0--3--0--3--5--7~-------14----14-| |-0--3--5--7--3--0--3--0--3--0--3--5--7~-------14----14-| D5F5 G5A5 F5D5 F5D5 F5D5 F5G5 A5 (x022xx@1) E5 (022xxx@1) E5 (022xxx@1) Bridge 2. ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | E|-0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0-|-0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0-|-0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0-| B|-1--1--1--1--1--1--1--0-|-1--1--1--1--1--1--1--0-|-1--1--1--1--1--1--1--0-| G|-0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0-|-2--2--2--2--2--2--2--0-|-0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0-| D|-3--3--3--3--3--3--3--0-|-2--2--2--2--2--2--2--0-|-3--3--3--3--3--3--3--0-| A|-3--3--3--3--3--3--3--0-|-0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0-|-3--3--3--3--3--3--3--0-| D|------------------------|------------------------|------------------------| Csus4 (x33010@1) Am (x02210@1) Csus4 (x33010@1) Pattern 2x Verse Let the Amring (x02210@1)at the end 1x Verse Drums kick in 2x Verse Vocals Verse 1 1x Bridge 1 Vocals Continued 1x Verse 2x Verse Vocals Verse 2 1x Bridge 1 Vocals Continued 1x Chorus 1x Verse Cut short for Bridge 2 1x Bridge 2 2x Verse Vocals Verse 3 1x Bridge 1 Vocals Continued 1x Chorus Let the D5 ring and pick up feedback *Gap for around 50 seconds* 1x Verse Light + Distorted 1x Bridge 2 With feeling! 3x Verse Come on, more feeling! 1x Bridge 1 2x Verse Fade Out...

C+C much appreciated.
