All My Life by Foo Fighters Author: Foo Fighters Title: All My Life Album: One By One Tabbed by: Rob Joyce Email: rob_joyce@hotmail.com Tabbed: 09/09/02 This is my tab for the first song on the Foo Fighters new album, One by One. Its a great upbeat song showing the Foos at their peak again. I tabbed the song by breaking it down into sections so its simpler to read and learn- let me know what u think. Hope u guys like it!
