Subject: TAB. This is a Call by Foo Fighters (fixed)

This is a Call
by the Foo Fighters.

Transcribed by Anthony Tong ad201@torfree.net

Listen to song to piece it together & for exact rhythm.
The first time I sent this in I was WAY off.. assuring, isn't it?

Normal tuning.

Intro: touch your jack with this rythm(/), then plug it(+):

/ // / +

Verse:
E G
Visiting is pretty, visiting is good, seems that all they ever
A E A
wanted was a brother

Chorus:

Gtr 1
F# A E F# A E
This is a call to all my past resignation This is a call

Gtr 2
e-----0-----------0--------------0-------0-------0-------
B---0---0------0-----0---------0---0---0---0---0---0-----
G-4---------3---------------2---------3------4-----------
D--------------------------------------------------------
A--------------------------------------------------------
E--------------------------------------------------------

Post-Chorus Riff:
Gtr 1
E7 NC B D op A
e--(0)------------2--0---
B---5---------4-X-3--0-2-
G---7---------4-X-2--0-2- play a few times, then Gtr 2 enter:
D---6---------4-X-0----2-
A---7-7-------2--------0-
E-0-0-0-0-3-4------------

Gtr 2
e--------------------------(0)------------2--0---
B---------------------------5---------4-X-3--0-2-

D---------------------------6---------4-X-0----2- etc...
A------------------6b(1/2)--7-7-------2--------0-
E-------------------------0-0-0-0-3-0------------

If available, have a second guitarist, itll sound better.


Outro:
The first part is the same as the post chorus riff,
the second part goes like this:

Gtr 1
E-0-0-7-0-0-7-6-7-0-0-7-0-0-7-6-7-0-0--7-0-0--7--6--7-

Gtr 2
E---------------------------------0-0-11-0-0-11-10-11 etc

Ending:

E-----
B-----
G-----
D-2-2-
A-2-2-
E-0-0-

I think youll find yourself what goes where.
Enjoy !

Tabbed by: Sylvain Duchet

I don't know if it's exacltly as they recorded it, but it sounds
like it. When I say "Tab", its not exactly right. I give you
the chords for verses and choruses. "Tab" is for the riff after the
2nd chorus and outro.

Standard tuning: E-A-D-G-B-E

E G
Visiting is pretty, visiting is good, seems that all
A E A
they ever wanted was a brother ....

F# A E F#
This is a call to all my past resignations
A E A
This is a call to all ....

B|----0----------------4-3-(0)-2--|
G|----X----------(4)-4-4-2-(0)-2--| Repeat
D|-2-(2)-2--------4--4-4-0-(0)-2--| this...
A|-2-----2--------2--2-----(0)-0--|
E|-0-----0-0-3-4------------------|

Outro:
E|---------------------|
B|---------------------|
G|---------------------| Repeat
D|---------------------| this...
