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 1.

I'm not around that much running

exhausted...and lost

If it could be undone will it

have costed...it's taught

and lost...

Verse 2.

Blowing away we stray, wilted

insulted...at fault

What if the day had stayed in bed

these baubles...we've brought

at fault...

Verse 3.

After the bliss has long ended

this caution...this fault

Give me a breeze that's long winded

accosted...adult

arrested...

Thank for looking and thanks to Dave for such a good song.

C+C much appreciated.
