This is exactly what Dave Grohl plays on the KROQ recording. It's
unreleased, but you can download it. It's an amazing performance.

===========================================================================
*I tabbed it the way Dave plays it, but some people (formerly, me) think
one or both of the alternate chords are correct. They're the same chords
played at different places, so either way sounds perfectly fine. There are,
of course, alternative power chords for the rest as well, those are just
the two I've seen in use in tabs.
The only part that isn't perfect is the Pre-chorus, and it's near there.
Try playing it with the recording, work out something that stacks up, and
E-mail me if you find something that works better. I take constructive
criticism well and I really am interested in improving how I play that
part. It sounds fine on its own, but next to the recording, my timing is a
little off at the Pre-chorus. I think it's just hard to hear where he
starts over on each run up the fretboard, but I'll work on it and update it
if I figure something out.
