**********************************

I dont know if i got the right amount times you play each but its easy enough to work when you listen to the song.

*********************************
*            Bridge             *
*********************************

This is the bit were Dave Grohl keeps saying "done,done on to the next one" near the end of the song. I just call it the bridge.

e--------------------------------
b--------------------------------  You keep repeating this. I dont know how many times
g--------------------------------  though. Make sure you dont let the chords ring too
D--5-           -5-           ---  much because you dont want them to totally fade.
A--5-let it ring-5-let it ring---
E--3-           -5-           ---

After you have repeated that quite a lot it then goes on to this. This is when Dave really shouts "DONE, DONE ON THE NEXT ONE".

e-----------------------------------
b-----------------------------------
g-----------------------------------  Hit these chords really hard.
D--5-5--5-5-5--5-5-5--5-5-5--5-5-5--
A--5-5--5-5-5--5-5-5--5-5-5--5-5-5--
E--3-3--3-3-3--3-3-3--3-3-3--3-3-3--

After that it goes on to the chorus and the intro bit. The ending is only two chords which are hit quite hard.

b-------
g-------
D--5-5--
A--5-5--
E--3-3--

Thats the whole song. I think you can figure out when each of the parts come in if you just  listen tro the song you'll get it no problem.
