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 | | v v | v | | v v | v E|--1----1--1----1--1--1--|--1----1--1----1--1--1--|--0----0--0----0--0--0--|--0----0--0----0--0--0--| B|--3----3--3----3--3--3--|--0----0--0----0--0--0--|--1----1--1----1--1--1--|--1----1--1----1--1--1--| G|--2----2--2----2--2--2--|--2----2--2----2--2--2--|--0----0--0----0--0--0--|--2----2--2----2--2--2--| D|--0----0--0----0--0--0--|--0----0--0----0--0--0--|--3----3--3----3--3--3--|--2----2--2----2--2--2--| A|--0----0--0----0--0--0--|--3----3--3----3--3--3--|--3----3--3----3--3--3--|--0----0--0----0--0--0--| D|------------------------|------------------------|------------------------|------------------------| Dm G7 Csus4 Am x2 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-|-5--5--5--5--5--5--5--5-|-5--5--5--5--5--5--5--5-| A|-1--1--1--1--1--1--1--1-|-0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0-|-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-|-5--5--5--5--5--5--5--5-| #A5 A5 A5 A5 Chorus. ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ | ^ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | v | E|---------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------| G|---------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------| D|-0--3--5--7--3--0--3--0--3--0--3--5--7~-----7---7--|-0--3--5--7--3--0--3--0--3--0--3--5--7~-------14-14-14-| A|-0--3--5--7--3--0--3--0--3--0--3--5--7~-----7---7--|-0--3--5--7--3--0--3--0--3--0--3--5--7~-------14-14-14-| D|-0--3--5--7--3--0--3--0--3--0--3--5--7~-----7---7--|-0--3--5--7--3--0--3--0--3--0--3--5--7~-------14-14-14-| D5 F5 G5 A5 F5 D5 F5 D5 F5 D5 F5 G5 A5 A5 A5 D5 F5 G5 A5 F5 D5 F5 D5 F5 D5 F5 A5 E5 E5 E5 ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | E|---------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------| G|---------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------| D|-0--3--5--7--3--0--3--0--3--0--3--5--7~------------|-0--3--5--7--3--0--3--0--3--0--3--5--7~-------14----14-| A|-0--3--5--7--3--0--3--0--3--0--3--5--7~------------|-0--3--5--7--3--0--3--0--3--0--3--5--7~-------14----14-| D|-0--3--5--7--3--0--3--0--3--0--3--5--7~------------|-0--3--5--7--3--0--3--0--3--0--3--5--7~-------14----14-| D5 F5 G5 A5 F5 D5 F5 D5 F5 D5 F5 G5 A5 D5 F5 G5 A5 F5 D5 F5 D5 F5 D5 F5 A5 E5 E5 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 Am Csus4 Pattern Verse x 2 Let the Am ring at the end Verse x 1 Drums kick in Verse x 2 Vocals Verse 1 Bridge 1 x 1 Vocals Continued Verse x 1 Verse x 2 Vocals Verse 2 Bridge 1 x 1 Vocals Continued Chorus x 1 Verse x 1 Cut short for Bridge 2 Bridge 2 x 1 Verse x 2 Vocals Verse 3 Bridge 1 x 1 Vocals Continued Chorus x 1 Let the D5 ring and pick up feedback *Gap for around 50 seconds* Verse x 1 Light + Distorted Bridge 2 x 1 With feeling!
