Exhausted

by the Foo Fighters

Transcription by Anthony Tong (ad201@torfree.net).

Dropped-D tuning (D-A-D-G-B-E). Crank up the FUZZ!

Chords used:

Asus2 add? - x 0 2 2 0 1

E/B add? - x 2 x 0 0 1

C - x 3 2 0 1 0

Am - x 0 2 2 1 0

Bb5 - x 1 3 3 x x

G - 5 5 5 x x x

Verse/Intro

-----------

Asus2add?, E/B add?, C, Am, C, Am

Despite of the weird chord (names) it's pretty easy to play.

It's tough to tab because of the picking pattern. Listen to the

song to figure it out.

----------

Chorus/Instrumental Section

---------------------------

G ---------------------------------|-5-5-5---

D --3--5--7--5--0-3-0-3-0-3-5--7~--|-5-5-5---

A --3--5--7--5--0-3-0-3-0-3-5--7~--|-------- <<--this part not

D --3--5--7--5--0-3-0-3-0-3-5--7~--|-------- <<--always played

There's some sort of slide/pick scrape before the chorus.. probably

on the low D. Just fake it :-)

Bridge/Interlude

---------------

There's some weird feedback/noise, the verse is played quietly by

second guitar and bass. Near the end of the verse Am is played loudly

and repeatedly.

>From what I can tell the bass doubles the guitar.

Sorry for being sorta cryptic on how the song is pieced together, but

there should be enough so that you can play along with the song.

And pardon for the Internet advertising, but get the Foo Fighter's

album--it's GREAT!

I'm pretty sure of this one (except for chord names) ;-), but don't

hesistate to e-mail me with comments, questions, whatever at:

New Intro Tabbed by Bill Bright (bright@erda.rl.af.mil)

Alrighty then...

Exhausted, by Foo Fighters...wow this is my first transcription, but I

think I got it right. I looked for this song after watching Foo Fighters'

I'm ok, Eur ok concert on MTV and I noticed that Dave Grohl plays the

opening chord with a simple open Dm chord...but when I tried to figure the

song out by ear, I couldn't, so I went to ***OLGA***. Anyway, I played the

tab that it came with and you know, it didn't sound quite right, so here's

my interpretation of the intro/verse...

It's still in the drop D tuning...

Intro/Verse:

e:---------1------------|----------1------------|

B:---------3----3-----3-|----------3----3-----3-|

G:---------2-------2----|----------2-------2----|

D:-0----0---------------|-0----0----------------|

A:-0----0---------------|-2----2----------------|

D:-0----0---------------|-x----x----------------|

I'm not around that much. I'm

e:----------0------------|-----------0------------|

B:----------1----1-----1-|-----------1----1-----1-|

G:----------2-------2----|-2----2----2-------2----|

D:-x----x----------------|-2----2-----------------|

A:-3----3----------------|-0----0-----------------|

D:-3----3----------------|-x----x-----------------|

near exhausted

e:----------0------------|-----------0------------|

B:----------1----1-----1-|-----------1----1-----1-|

G:----------2-------2----|-2----2----2-------2----|

D:-x----x----------------|-2----2-----------------|

A:-3----3----------------|-0----0-----------------|

D:-3----3----------------|-x----x-----------------|

and lost.

...everything else seemed fine, if played right, you should be able to play

this with minimal hand movement. The way I play the intro Dm chord is also

a prep for the second chord...

Dm (prepped for E/B)

D A D G B e

+==============+ nut

| | | | | 1

+--------------+ 1st fret

| (2) | 3 | | <-------- here, your middle finger (2) should

+--------------+ 2nd fret... wait over the A string. It's a bit

| | | | 4 | unnatural, but it really speeds the

+--------------+ playing up quite a bit, I tell ya!!

Besides that, Jeff Aldrich's | transcription seems to sound just fine!
