Miss the Misery Tabs & Lyrics by Foo Fighters
Miss the Misery
guitar tabs lyrics
!Tabbed from a live version of the song as the record is not yet released!
INTRO:
... put some 'wah' on and just slowly play something like this and let all ring out ...
or just make some noise^^ ...
e-0--------------------------------------------------|
b-0--------------------------------------------------|
G-x---------0--2--3--0-------0--2--3--0--------------|
D-2--------------------------------------------------|
A-2--------------------------------------------------|
E-0--------------------------------------------------|
Then without 'wah' the MAIN RIFF (distorted):
e-----------------------------------------------------|
b-----------------------------------------------------|
G------0--2--0-2-3-0----------------------------------|
D-2----0--2-------------------------------------------|
A-2----x--0-------------------------------------------|
E-0----3b---------------------------------------------|
Listen to the song for the rhythm and play it dirty, sloppy and with passion!
It's rock'n'roll, guys!
Main riff- Variations:
e-----------------------------------------------------|
b-----------------------------------------------------|
G------0--2-------------------------------------------|
D-2----0--2-------------------------------------------|
A-2----x--0--5h7-7-5----------------------------------|
E-0----3b---------------------------------------------|
Grohl is playing something like the melody when Shifflett is doing the background vocal thing.
Not sure about this though:
e-----------------------------------------------------|
b-----------------------------------------------------|
G-12---11----9----7--------(0-2-3-0)------------------|
D--x----x----x----x-----------------------------------|
A-10----9----7----5-----------------------------------|
E-----------------------------------------------------|
Later in the song this is also played once within a main riff section:
e-----------------------------------------------------|
b-----------------------------------------------------|
G-------------10/12-12\----------------12/14-14\------|
D-2----8--10--10/12-12\----2----10-12--12/14-14\------|
A-2----8--10--8-/10-10\----2----10-12--10/12-12\------|
E-0----6--8----------------0----8--10-----------------|

VERSE:
The verse is just the main riff played clean, or what I like to play:
e-----------------------------------------------------|
b-----------------------------------------------------|
G------0--2----0-2-2-0--------------------------------|
D-2----0--2----0-2-2-0--------------------------------|
A-2----x--0----x-0-0-x--------------------------------|
E-0----3b------3-----3--------------------------------|
Sometimes a distorted guitar will play some chord or bits of the riff simultaniously.
Quite randomly though.

PRECHORUS:

D-2----0--2------|--7-9-9-9----------------------------|

This is also played once in a different rhythm ... listen to the song, it's not too hard
to figure out.

LEAD GUITAR:
This is played over the last prechorus and the last chorus.
e-12----12----12-----12-----14----14----14----14------|
b----12----12----12-----12-----12----12----12----12---|
G-----------------------------------------------------|
D-----------------------------------------------------|
A-----------------------------------------------------|
E-----------------------------------------------------|
e-12----12----12-----12-----11----11----11----11------|
b----12----12----12-----12-----12----12----12----12---|
G-----------------------------------------------------|
D-----------------------------------------------------|
A-----------------------------------------------------|
E-----------------------------------------------------|
e-12----12----12-----12-----14----14----14----14------|
b----12----12----12-----12-----12----12----12----12---|
G-----------------------------------------------------|
D-----------------------------------------------------|
A-----------------------------------------------------|
E-----------------------------------------------------|
before going back to the main riff I tend to play the last bit just like:
e-12----12----12-----12-----14-14-14-14-14-14-14-14---|
b----12----12----12-----12--12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12---|
G-----------------------------------------------------|
D-----------------------------------------------------|
A-----------------------------------------------------|
E-----------------------------------------------------|
That's about it I think.
Comments and improvements are welcome.
Enjoy!
(So far, my favorite song of the new record)
