Listen to the song to learn the order of which part is played. I've tabbed this all by ear,
and it's all my own work, because I couldn't find any correct versions of the solo.
The only part I am unsure about is the second bar of the second line of the solo.
In the last chorus, one line is repeated, and then after the main riff ends after the first line.
This is a great acoustic song by the Foo fighters on 2 guitars, although one guitar just plays
the main riff all the time.
Feel free to comment. Enjoy.
