Everlong � Foo Fighters (Chords, Tabs + Lyrics)
There are no chord versions of this song anywhere. Not easy to explain, so I hope I made things
clear enough. I know this sounds right and I think the lyrics and timing are useful towards
explaining this classic song.
Tuning: Drop D (DADGBe = low E string down 2 steps)
Verse Chords:
F#5/D = 0-9-11-(11)-x-x
F#5/B = 9-9-11-(11)-x-x (barre 9th fret w/ index finger from above chord)
D5/G = 5-5-7-7-x-x-x (keep fingering from above chord and slide down)
Chorus Chords:
B5 = 9-9-9-x-x-x
G5 = 5-5-5-x-x-x
D5/G = 5-5-7-7-x-x (just add 7's to previously barred G5)
A5 = 7-7-7-x-x-x
Pre-chorus Chords:
C#(2) = 0-4-(x-6)-x-x --+
D(2) = 0-5-(x-7)-x-x | These are all suspended and w/ the D basses, but the main
E(2) = 0-7-(x-9)-x-x |-- note/chord and the names make more sense to list this way.
F#(2) = 0-9-(x-11)-x-x | Listing as (2)'s only to indicate they are similar where used.
G(2) = 0-10-(x-12)-x-x --+ * Can be played with open D and 5th-string note only *
A5 = 7-7-7-x-x-x
Intro:
* Note: don't play or barely hit these lines
