I'll Stick Around by Foo Fighters
This is a pretty simple song. Two major riffs in the whole song really.
I've typed up what I think they are here. Listen to the song to figure out
exactly where they go.
Riff 1______________________________________________
G:--------------------------|------------------------|
D:------------------------3-|----------------------3-|
A:------------6--6-----3----|----------6--6-----3----|
E:---3--3--r--------6-------|-3--3--r--------6-------|
(end riff 1)
_____________________________________________
G:------------------------|--------------------------|
D:----------------------3-|--------------------------|
A:----------6--6-----3----|----------6--6-----3------|
E:-3--3--r--------6-------|-3--3--r--------6-----6---|
Riff 2______________(x6)_____________________________
G:--------------------------|--------------------------|
D:*------------------------*|--------------------------|
A:*----------1-------------*|--------------------------|
E:--1--3--r-----3--r--3--0--|--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--|
(end riff 2)
_________________________
G:--------------------------|
D:--------------------------|
A:--------------------------|
E:--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--|
*These are the verse riffs, play them when the verses are played. Listen to
the song to figure out where they go. Sometimes Riff 2 is broken up and
only the repeated part is played, and somewhere in the song the tail of
riff 2 (the E:--3--3--3--3--3...) is played after riff 1.
...Then before the chorus, this bit is played
G:--------------------------------------------------------------------|
D:--------------------------------------------------------------------|
A:--1----1----1--1-----------------------------3--(let-ring......)----|
E:--------------------3-----3----3----3--3--0-------------------------|
I've taken all and i've endured ...
G:---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D:---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A:--1-----1-----1--1-----------------------3----3--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--3-|
E:----------------------3----3----3--3--0------------------------------------|
One day it all will fade i'm sure ....
G:----------------|
D:----------------|
A:-3--3--3--3--3--|
E:----------------|
Then play Riff 1 under the chorus. "I don't owe you anything, i don't owe..."
This is the bit before the ending of the song. You know where it goes.
G:--------------------------|--------------------------|
D:*-------------------------|--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--|
A:*-6--6--6--6--6--6--6--6--|--------------------------|
E:--------------------------|--------------------------|
I'll stick around I'll stick around
G:--------------------------|--------------------------|
D:--------------------------|-------------------------*|
A:--------------------------|--5--5--5--3--3--5--5--5-*|
E:--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--|--------------------------|
and learn from all that came from it
At the very end of the song, play Riff 1 again twice, and the last two
notes of the song are C, played on the A string (fret 3 on the A string)
