My Hero- Foo Fighters
------------------------------------------------------------
By:Steveo
O.K. i was getting really sick of waiting for a good tab for this song but it
wasn’t happening. I got fed up and decided to figure it out myself.It sounds
good playing on either the acoustic or electric. This has to be correct!
Riff 2, then this:
e|---0-0-0-0---------------------------------|
B|---4-5-4-0---------------------------------|
G|---------4b/-------------------------------|
D|-------------------------------------------|
A|-------------------------------------------|
E|-------------------------------------------|
Verse 2, back to chorus
?
After 2nd chorus play riff 2 then preceding riff again.
e|---0-0-0-0----0-0-0-0-0--------------------|
B|---4-5-4-0----4-5-4-0-0--------------------|
G|---------4----------6/4--------------------|
D|-------------------------------------------|
A|-------------------------------------------|
E|-------------------------------------------|
>Twice
Part before last chorus:
e|-------------------------------------------|
B|-------------------------------------------|
G|--1-1-1-1-1-1------6-6--6-6--6-6--6-6------|
D|--2-2-2-2-2-2------6-6--6-6--6-6--6-6------|
A|--2-2-2-2-2-2------4-4--4-4--4-4--4-4------|
E|-------------------------------------------|
?Chorus, then end with riff 2 and then this:
e|-------------------------------------------|
B|----------4-----5-----4------0-------------|
G|-------------------------------------------|
D|-------------------------------------------|
A|-------------------------------------------|
E|-------------------------------------------|
My Hero is one of the best foo fighters songs on the colour and the shapeand i'm sure this is right. None of the other versions of this song are right.

Cool riff. (people say this is played on bass but it's also played on guitar)
Other chorus part ( Kudos my hero, leavin'all the best) e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|-4-4-4-4/--7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-------------------------------------------------| G|-x-x-x-x---x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-------------------------------------------------| D|-1-1-1-1/--4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-------------------------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
I can't remember the order of this so try to figure it out yourself. Tabbed by Sam smith. Thanx I am sure this is 100% right i've played it through and it's perfect.

Guitars are heavily distorted 100% of the time.
Bass is played with a pick, and never moves away from the root notes.

The second and fourth parts, where the guitar splits, is almost identical to the way
written above(in the song, not the alternative fingering), but let the low E ring throug,
keep the same pattern as the alternative fingering. (This method tends to be the best
method when you're playing the song by yourself, on an acoustic guitar.)

Hey guys, I've seen alot of tabs for this song and they aren't close to the real

Foo Fighters - My Hero (acoustic)
Tabbed by: Benjy Curzon-Jones
I tabbed this from Dave Grohl's performance in the Radio 1 live lounge. Here is the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vkY2SqS1Sj8
I don't need to tell you all how great this song is... but it is great!
This version is simpler to play during the chorus as it only uses an A instead of the notes used in the original. I also happen to think this sounds better when only playing on an acoustic, especially if you're singing it too.
There are some funny chord names in it, but ignore those, they are pretty simple to play once you get used to it.
Enjoy!

[VERSE 2] (same as verse 1): Don't the best of them, bleed it out While the rest of them, peter out Truth or consequence, say it aloud Use that evidence, race it around
[Chorus] CHORUS OUTRO (exclude the scratching after the A)
[BREAKDOWN/SOLO] e|-------------------------------------| B|-------------------------------------| G|--9-9-9-9-9-9-9-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8----| x 4 or 8 D|--9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9----| A|-------------------------------------| E|-------------------------------------| (Keep repeating and slowly incorporating the open B and e strings, then start to include the A and E strings in the final repeat before the final verse. This makes it build up nicely and sounds pretty good - in my opinion!)
[VERSE 3] (half the length of Verse 1 and 2):
Kudos my hero, leaving all the best You know my hero, the one that's on
[CHORUS] x2 [CHORUS OUTRO] (no scratching - end on an E if you like)
