To get the feel of the strumming and solos etc.. you should listen
to the song, I know it was released as a B-side to the My Hero single
in the UK, I don't know about releases in America though.
All chords are power chords, except during the verse, and the minor
chords. You can also try picking the Dm and Am chords at the beginning of
the chorus if you have two guitars, for a nice effect.
The chorus can also be played with Dm7 and Am7, but I don't think it
sounds right like that.
Chords used:
EADGBe
Dm xx0231 or Dm7 : xx0211
Am x02210 or Am7 : x02010
Em 022000
G 355xxx
A 577xxx
C x355xxx
D x577xx
Key:
10b - Bend note
13h - Hammer-on
12p - Pull-off
13/10 - Slide to next note
10~~~ - Hold note
(7) - Ghost note, don't necessarily play it

A
Winding your way down on Baker Street
A
Light in your head, and dead on your feet
Em G
Well another crazy day, you drink the night away
D
And forget about everything
A
This city's dance makes you feel so cold, it's got
A
So many people but its got no soul
Em G
And its taken you so long to find out you were wrong
D
When you thought it held everything.
Dm Am
You used to think that it was so easy
Dm Am
You used to say that it was so easy
C G D
But you're trying, you're trying now
Dm Am
Another year and then you'd be happy
Dm Am
Just one more year and then you'd be happy
C G A G
But you're crying, you're crying now
--Repeat Solo--
A
Way down the street there's a light in his place
A
You open the door, he's got that look on his face
Em G
And he asks you where you've been, you tell him who you've seen
D
And you talk about everything
A
He's got this dream about buying some land
A
He's gonna give up the crack and the one night stands
Em G
And then he'll settle down, it's a quiet little town
D
And forget about everything
Dm Am
But you know he'll always keep moving
Dm Am
You know he's never gonna stop moving
C G D
Cause he's rolling, he's the rolling stone
Dm Am
And when you wake up it's a new morning
Dm Am
The sun is shining it's a new morning
C G A D
And you're going, you're going home
--Repeat Intro--
--Repeat Solo 1--
Final Solo:

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official FOO FIGHTERS tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
