This is a call (D.Grohl)
played by: Foo fighters
Tabbed by: Sylvain Duchet
I don't know if it's exacltly as they recorded it, but it sounds
like it. When I say "Tab", its not exactly right. I give you
the chords for verses and choruses. "Tab" is for the riff after the
2nd chorus and outro.
Standard tuning: E-a-D-G-B-E
