M.I.A. by the Foo Fighters.. tabbed by @ragingzen
Here's a lesson I made teaching this song for visual learners:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jdhQ_rlqdAc
DADGAe tuning.. pay attention to this.. the B string’s tuned down to A in this song.
G5addC# - 5556XX
G5 - 5557XX or G5 - 555XXX
F5 - 333XXX
A5 - X0220X or A5 - 777XXX
D5 - 000XXX
Bb5 -X133XX or Bb5 - 888XXX
B5 - 999XXX
B power - X244XX
C power - X355XX
C# power - X466XX
D power - X577XX
E power - X799XX
/ - slide up, (only used when sliding from the D power chord to E during the refrain)
(x2) - simply means play the indicated chord twice
INTRO:
This is the riff that is played continuously throughout: When you see “RIFF” written,
it means play this riff before switching back to the power chords
e|------0-------0---------0------0---|
A|------0-------0---------0------0---|
G|6--7--7---6---7---6--7--7---6--7---|
D|0-----0---0---0---5-----5---5--5---|
A|0-----0---0---0---5-----5---5--5---|
D|0---------0---0---5---------5--5---|
The 5556XX chord above is a G5addC# and the 5557XX is simply a slightly more
complex version of a G5. When you see G5 noted, you can play it like the 5557XX chord,
or just barre the 5th fret like this 555XXX- your choice.
RIFF G5addC# G5 RIFF
Call and I’ll answer, at home in the lost and found
G5addC# G5 RIFF
You say that I’m much too proud
G5addC# F5 A5
Someone who’s taking pleasure in breaking down
RIFF G5addC# G5 RIFF
Never mind the mannequins, drunk in their hollow town
G5addC# G5 RIFF G5 F5 A5
Drinking their spoils down.. Cheap imitations, the revelation is now
CHORUS- These chords are played:
D5 G5 Bb5 A5
