The other version of this song is fine except for one thing.
You may notice on the video that Dave's hand isn't moving that much.
If you tune your guitar up one half-step or use a capo on the first fret,
the song is way easier to play.
Note: The song "Butterflies" is also in this tuning.

"I'll Stick Around" by Foo Fighters
Music & Lyrics by Dave Grohl
>From the album "Foo Fighters" on Roswell/Capitol Records

It is possible to play the Beginning/Chorus part of the song using normal
tuning. Unfortunately, it's going to require a long stretch for the D#/Eb.
It would look something like this:

G5 D# A#5 C5 N.C.
1:------3-3-----------
2:------4-4-----------
3:------3-3--3---5--0-
4:-5-5--1-1--3---5--0-
5:-5-5--1-1--1---3--0-
6:-3-3--------------0-

The last strum of open zeros can also be played as just another C5. You can
also get rid of that long D# stretch for the 1's by just playing (xxx343).
Also, Dave plays the verse like the second tab posted here, but it sounds
pretty bad on an acoustic. To make it easier, you can just play this
progression:

1:-G73---F71---C--
2:-3---1---5-
3:-4---2---5-
4:-3---1---5-
5:-5---3---3-
6:-3---1-----

It's not perfect, and it's not how I think they play the song, but it sounds
decent. Finally, somewhere I saw it posted this way for the pre-chorus, and
it's definitely right. The secret is that the last chord played is Am C9, an
uncommon chord. It goes something like this:

1:-A#5/F-------------G3-3-3-3-3-3--C90-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-
2:--------------3-3-3-3-3-3--3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-
3:-3-3-3-3-3-3--0-0-0-0-0-0--3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-
4:-3-3-3-3-3-3--0-0-0-0-0-0--2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-
5:-1-1-1-1-1-1--2-2-2-2-2-2--3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-
6:-1-1-1-1-1-1--3-3-3-3-3-3--------------------------

Song Title: I'll Stick Around
Artist: Foo Fighters
Tabbed by: jazzbass@cfw.com [http://www.vt.edu:10021/A/acanterb/]
----------------------------------------------


This is a pretty simple song. Two major riffs in the whole song really.
I've typed up what I think they are here. Listen to the song to figure out
exactly where they go.



Riff 1______________________________________________
G:--------------------------|------------------------|
D:------------------------3-|----------------------3-|
A:------------6--6-----3----|----------6--6-----3----|
E:---3--3--r--------6-------|-3--3--r--------6-------|
(end riff 1)
_____________________________________________
G:------------------------|--------------------------|
D:----------------------3-|--------------------------|
A:----------6--6-----3----|----------6--6-----3------|
E:-3--3--r--------6-------|-3--3--r--------6-----6---|


Riff 2______________(x6)_____________________________
G:--------------------------|--------------------------|
D:*------------------------*|--------------------------|
A:*----------1-------------*|--------------------------|
E:--1--3--r-----3--r--3--0--|--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--|

(end riff 2)
_________________________
G:--------------------------|
D:--------------------------|
A:--------------------------|
E:--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--|

*These are the verse riffs, play them when the verses are played. Listen to
the song to figure out where they go. Sometimes Riff 2 is broken up and
only the repeated part is played, and somewhere in the song the tail of
riff 2 (the E:--3--3--3--3--3...) is played after riff 1.

...Then before the chorus, this bit is played
G:--------------------------------------------------------------------|
D:--------------------------------------------------------------------|
A:--1----1----1--1-----------------------------3--(let-ring......)----|
E:--------------------3-----3----3----3--3--0-------------------------|
I've taken all and i've endured ...

G:---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D:---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A:--1-----1-----1--1-----------------------3----3--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--3-|
E:----------------------3----3----3--3--0------------------------------------|
One day it all will fade i'm sure ....


G:----------------|
D:----------------|
A:-3--3--3--3--3--|
E:----------------|

Then play Riff 1 under the chorus. "I don't owe you anything, i don't owe..."


This is the bit before the ending of the song. You know where it goes.

G:--------------------------|--------------------------|
D:*-------------------------|--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--|
A:*-6--6--6--6--6--6--6--6--|--------------------------|
E:--------------------------|--------------------------|
I'll stick around I'll stick around

G:--------------------------|--------------------------|
D:--------------------------|-------------------------*|
A:--------------------------|--5--5--5--3--3--5--5--5-*|
E:--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--|--------------------------|
and learn from all that came from it

At the very end of the song, play Riff 1 again twice, and the last two
notes of the song are C, played on the A string (fret 3 on the A string)
