I did this tab since the others missed the 7th chords used in the main riffs. Its harder to
hear melodic differences like that, but playing the song like this sounds better.

This is a great tab. The only problem I found is that I think dave grohl adds an extra note on the G string on the power chords of the chorus and bridge. Try it out and see how it sounds (5 stars btw): Chorus- Heavy Distortion e|---------------------------|--------------------------|--------------------------| B|---------------------------|--------------------------|--------------------------| G|-8-------------3-----------|-5------------8-----------|-3------------5-----------| D|-6-------------1-----------|-3------------6-----------|-1------------3-----------| A|-6-------------1-----------|-3------------6-----------|-1------------3-----------| D|-6----------0--1-----------|-3------------6---------0-|-1------------3-----------| "Hate it" ... etc Bridge Part e|--------------|------------------------|------------|------------------------| B|--------------|------------------------|------------|------------------------| G|-5------------|-8------------3---------|-5----------|-8------------3---------| D|-3------------|-6------------1---------|-3----------|-6------------1---------| A|-3--x16-------|-6--x8--------1--x8-----|-3--x16-----|-6--x8--------1--x8-----| D|-3------------|-6---------0--1---------|-3----------|-6---------0--1---------|
