================== FOO FIGHTERS ------------ Exhausted ================== Tabbed by Jeff Aldrich ([email protected]) New Intro Tabbed by Bill Bright ([email protected]) 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 DmDm chord...but when I tried to figure 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 MajorD 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... 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-----------------| ...everything else seemed fine, if played right, you should be able to play this with minimal hand movement. The way I play the intro DmDm chord is also a prep for the second chord...
DmDm (prepped for E/B) D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB e +==============+ nut | | | | | 1 +--------------+ 1st fret | (2) | 3 | | <-------- here, your middle finger (2) should +--------------+ 2nd fret... wait over the A augmentedA 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! Pre-Chorus: e:-------------------------------------|-----------------------| B:-------------------------------------|-----------------------| G:-------------------------------------|-----------------------| D:-8-8-8-8--8-8-8-8---7-7-7-7--7-7-7-7-|-5-----5---5---5---5---| A:-8-8-8-8--8-8-8-8---7-7-7-7--7-7-7-7-|-5-----5---5---5---5---| E:-8-8-8-8--8-8-8-8---7-7-7-7--7-7-7-7-|-5-----5---5---5---5---| ... and alone ... Riff 2 (Chorus?) e:------------------------------------------------------------| B:------------------------------------------------------------| G:------------------------------------------------------------| D:------------------------------------------------------------| A:-0---3---5---7---3---0---3---0---3---0----------------------| E:-0---3---5---7---3---0---3---0---3---0----4---5---7^~~~~--7-| A augmentedA 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. Feel free to E-Mail me (or me!!! -bill) with comments, suggestions, questions, or criticisms about the tab. Enjoy!
