I'll Stick Around by Foo Fighters This is a pretty simple song. Two major riffs in the whole song really. I've typed up what I think they are here. Listen to the song to figure out exactly where they go. Riff 1______________________________________________ G:--------------------------|------------------------| D:------------------------3-|----------------------3-| A:------------6--6-----3----|----------6--6-----3----| E:---3--3--r--------6-------|-3--3--r--------6-------| (end riff 1) _____________________________________________ G:------------------------|--------------------------| D:----------------------3-|--------------------------| A:----------6--6-----3----|----------6--6-----3------| E:-3--3--r--------6-------|-3--3--r--------6-----6---| Riff 2______________(x6)_____________________________ G:--------------------------|--------------------------| D:*------------------------*|--------------------------| A:*----------1-------------*|--------------------------| E:--1--3--r-----3--r--3--0--|--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--| (end riff 2) _________________________ G:--------------------------| D:--------------------------| A:--------------------------| E:--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--| *These are the verse riffs, play them when the verses are played. Listen to the song to figure out where they go. Sometimes Riff 2 is broken up and only the repeated part is played, and somewhere in the song the tail of riff 2 (the E:--3--3--3--3--3...) is played after riff 1. ...Then before the chorus, this bit is played G:--------------------------------------------------------------------| D:--------------------------------------------------------------------| A:--1----1----1--1-----------------------------3--(let-ring......)----| E:--------------------3-----3----3----3--3--0-------------------------| I've taken all and i've endured ...

G:----------------| D:----------------| A:-3--3--3--3--3--| E:----------------| Then play Riff 1 under the chorus. "I don't owe you anything, i don't owe..." This is the bit before the ending of the song. You know where it goes. G:--------------------------|--------------------------| D:*-------------------------|--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--| A:*-6--6--6--6--6--6--6--6--|--------------------------| E:--------------------------|--------------------------| I'll stick around I'll stick around G:--------------------------|--------------------------| D:--------------------------|-------------------------*| A:--------------------------|--5--5--5--3--3--5--5--5-*| E:--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--|--------------------------| and learn from all that came from it At the very end of the song, play Riff 1 again twice, and the last two notes of the song are C, played on the A string (fret 3 on the A string) _______________ "Any similarities between this transcription and the actual song are purely coincidental" /----------------------------------------\ | ____ ____ | | ( `--' .-' _T_T_T_T_ | | |8| O O |||||||||||||||||||[o o o o/ | | (__,--.____\ `~~~`--' | | from the desk of jaco pastorius.. | | jazzbass@cfw.com | | http://www.vt.edu:10021/A/acanterb/ | \----------------------------------------/
