Alrighty then...

Exhausted, by Foo Fighters...wow this is my first transcription, but I
think I got it right. I looked for this song after watching Foo Fighters'
I'm ok, Eur ok concert on MTV and I noticed that Dave Grohl plays the
opening chord with a simple open Dm chord...but when I tried to figure the
song out by ear, I couldn't, so I went to ***OLGA***. Anyway, I played the
tab that it came with and you know, it didn't sound quite right, so here's
my interpretation of the intro/verse...

It's still in the drop D tuning...

Intro/Verse:

e:---------1------------|----------1------------|
B:---------3----3-----3-|----------3----3-----3-|
G:---------2-------2----|----------2-------2----|
D:-0----0---------------|-0----0----------------|
A:-0----0---------------|-2----2----------------|
D:-0----0---------------|-x----x----------------|
I'm not around...

e:----------0------------|-----------0------------|
B:----------1----1-----1-|-----------1----1-----1-|
G:----------2-------2----|-2----2----2-------2----|
D:-x----x----------------|-2----2-----------------|
A:-3----3----------------|-0----0-----------------|
D:-3----3----------------|-x----x-----------------|
near exhausted...

e:----------0------------|-----------0------------|
B:----------1----1-----1-|-----------1----1-----1-|
G:----------2-------2----|-2----2----2-------2----|
D:-x----x----------------|-2----2-----------------|
A:-3----3----------------|-0----0-----------------|
D:-3----3----------------|-x----x-----------------|

...everything else seemed fine, if played right, you should be able to play
this with minimal hand movement. The way I play the intro Dm chord is also
a prep for the second chord...

Dm (prepped for E/B)

D A D G B e
+==============+ nut
| | | | | 1
+--------------+ 1st fret
| (2) | 3 | | <-------- here, your middle finger (2) should
+--------------+ 2nd fret... wait over the A string. It's a bit
| | | | 4 | unnatural, but it really speeds the
+--------------+ playing up quite a bit, I tell ya!!
| | | | | |
+--------------+
| | | | | |
+--------------+

Besides that, Jeff Aldrich's transcription seems to sound just fine!

Pre-Chorus:

e:-------------------------------------|-----------------------|
B:-------------------------------------|-----------------------|
G:-------------------------------------|-----------------------|
D:-8-8-8-8--8-8-8-8---7-7-7-7--7-7-7-7-|-5-----5---5---5---5---|
A:-8-8-8-8--8-8-8-8---7-7-7-7--7-7-7-7-|-5-----5---5---5---5---|
E:-8-8-8-8--8-8-8-8---7-7-7-7--7-7-7-7-|-5-----5---5---5---5---|
... and alone ...


Riff 2 (Chorus?)

e:------------------------------------------------------------|
B:------------------------------------------------------------|
G:------------------------------------------------------------|
D:------------------------------------------------------------|
A:-0---3---5---7---3---0---3---0---3---0----------------------|
E:-0---3---5---7---3---0---3---0---3---0----4---5---7^~~~~--7-|

A few tips: Use your index finger on the second chord, middle finger
on the third chord, middle finger on the fourth chord, and
middle finger on the next two chords. These are the
fingerings that I think work best with the TAB.
