Foo Fighters - Everlong Acoustic Tabs

PROPS GO TO: Mark Stoute

This song is easy once you get the hang of it.it shouldnt take long to learn. There are really only three parts to it and you can hold your fingers the same way for most of it. Just practice and listen to it alot and memorize the order.

Dropped D tuning 
- from standard tuning Tune the sixth string down until it sounds like your 4th string but lower
- Or, tune your sixth string down until 5th string open sounds like 7th fret on 6th string.

Sorry how spaced out it is - but it was the only way i could think of adding the lyrics easily.
