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!

There's a lead out, that I didn't have a guitar to figure out (I tabbed this at work,
memory). In a live performance, it can be omitted.

Alternative fingering for chorus.

This is the first and third parts, where Dave is singing.

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
deal. So here it goes.

Legend:
x: muted note
b: bend note

D|-2-2-2--x--6-6-6-6---Repeat----|
A|-2-2-2--x--4-4-4-4-------------|

This little lick kicks the
song into the verse.

E|--2-2-----4-5------------------|

Verse:(Play Until Chorus)
Dave Grohl messes around with

E|-------------------------------|

Then you play that little lick again and then
you play the part you play in the verse but
just alittle different.

Then you just restart basically.

Hoped this really helped.
Just listen to the song to find out the rythym.

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!

Too alarming now, to talk about
Take your pictures down, shake it out

Use that evidence, race it around

[VERSE 2] (same as verse 1):

Use that evidence, race it around

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)

Have fun playing it and shouting along!
