FOO FIGHTERS
------------
Exhausted
==================
Tabbed by Jeff Aldrich (ArglBargle@aol.com)


This last song on the album was not easy to Tab, because I'm sure it's
played with two guitars. Therefore, trying to play or TAB the song for
only one guitar presents a few problems. I've written down what I
figure are the easiest ways to play the riffs (making sure there are no
times that require seven fingers or a 19 fret stretch.) I really need
input on this one, even if you figure out a way to play one little
figure a little differently, please write to me. Enough suggestions will
make the TAB easier to play. Maybe there is only one guitar, and I'm
overlooking some easy way to play it.
This song is played in Drop-D tuning, where you tune your low E string
down to a D (the same as Alone+Easy Taget.)

A few tips: Use your index finger on the second chord, middle finger
on the third chord, middle finger on the fourth chord, and
middle finger on the next two chords. These are the
fingerings that I think work best with the TAB.


Lyrics (not official):

I'm not around that much.
I'm near exhausted and lost.
If it could be undone,
Will it have cost it?
It's torn and alone

Knowing the way we strain
And tear, exhausted, and fall.
What if today I'd stayed in bed,
And was bored? Oh, we've gone
And fall.

After bliss is gone in bed,
Use caution. It's gone.
Even the breeze that's flowing.
There is caustic. And I talked.
And I missed it.



Feel free to E-Mail me with comments, suggestions, questions, or criticisms
about the tab.
Enjoy!

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
a - x 0 2 2 1 0
B5 - x 1 3 3 x x
G - 5 5 5 x x x


Verse/Intro
-----------
Asus2add?, E/B add?, C, Am, C, a

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.


Pre-Chorus
----------
B5 a G


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
F G A G D F D F D F G A C/G

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:
