	        INTRO: 

... put some 'wah' on and just slowly play something like this and let all ring out ...  
or just make some noise^^ ... 

e-0--------------------------------------------------| 
B-0--------------------------------------------------| 
G-x---------0--2--3--0-------0--2--3--0--------------| 
D-2--------------------------------------------------| 
A-2--------------------------------------------------| 
E-0--------------------------------------------------| 

Then without 'wah' the MAIN RIFF (distorted): 

e-----------------------------------------------------| 
B-----------------------------------------------------| 
G------0--2--0-2-3-0----------------------------------| 
D-2----0--2-------------------------------------------| 
A-2----x--0-------------------------------------------| 
E-0----3B---------------------------------------------| 


Listen to the song for the rhythm and play it dirty, sloppy and with passion! 
It's rock'n'roll, guys! 


Main riff- Variations: 


e-----------------------------------------------------| 
B-----------------------------------------------------| 
G------0--2-------------------------------------------| 
D-2----0--2-------------------------------------------| 
A-2----x--0--5h7-7-5----------------------------------| 
E-0----3B---------------------------------------------| 


Grohl is playing something like the melody when Shifflett is doing the Background vocal thing. 
Not sure aBout this though: 

e-----------------------------------------------------| 
B-----------------------------------------------------| 
G-12---11----9----7--------(0-2-3-0)------------------| 
D--x----x----x----x-----------------------------------| 
A-10----9----7----5-----------------------------------| 
E-----------------------------------------------------| 


Later in the song this is also played once within a main riff section: 

e-----------------------------------------------------| 
B-----------------------------------------------------| 
G-------------10/12-12\----------------12/14-14\------| 
D-2----8--10--10/12-12\----2----10-12--12/14-14\------| 
A-2----8--10--8-/10-10\----2----10-12--10/12-12\------| 
E-0----6--8----------------0----8--10-----------------|

VERSE: 


The verse is just the main riff played clean, or what I like to play: 

e-----------------------------------------------------| 
B-----------------------------------------------------| 
G------0--2----0-2-2-0--------------------------------| 
D-2----0--2----0-2-2-0--------------------------------| 
A-2----x--0----x-0-0-x--------------------------------| 
E-0----3B------3-----3--------------------------------| 


Sometimes a distorted guitar will play some chord or Bits of the riff simultaniously.  
Quite randomly though.

PRE-CHORUS: 


 |still the verse| DISTORTION! 
e----------------|-------------------------------------| 
B----------------|-------------------------------------| 
G------0--2------|--7-9-9-9----------------------------| 
D-2----0--2------|--7-9-9-9----------------------------| 
A-2----x--0------|--5-7-7-7----------------------------| 
E-0----3---------|-------------------------------------|

E--------------------------------------------------------------------------| 


This is also played once in a different rhythm ... listen to the song, it's not too hard  
to figure out. 

like this: 

e------------------------------------------| 
B------------------------------------------| 
G------------------------------------------| 
D-5-5-5--5-5--7-7-7-7--9-9-9--9-9-4-4-4-4--| 
A-3-3-3--3-3--5-5-5-5--7-7-7--7-7-2-2-2-2--| 
E------------------------------------------| 
         |dont   let|       |these downs ring out| 

Hope that helps.
