This is my tab for the first song on the Foo Fighters new album,
One by One. Its a great upbeat song showing the Foos at their peak
again.
I tabbed the song by breaking it down into sections so its simpler
to read and learn— let me know what u think.
Hope u guys like it!

Bass Line:
(It sounds like theres actually three guitars for this part, but i
just figured a bass guitar could do this part, but if u have a third
guitarist or a sampler on a pedal, its just the intro riff.

All My Life
All my life I've been searching for something
Something never comes never leads to nothing
Nothing satisfies but I'm getting close
Closer to the prize at the end of the rope
All night long I dream of the day
When it comes around then it's taken away
Leaves me with the feeling that I feel the most
The feeling comes to life when I see your ghost
Come down don't you resist
You have such a delicate wrist
And if I give it a twist
Something to hold when I lose my breath
Will I find something in that
So give me just what I need
Another reason to bleed
ONE BY ONE hidden up my sleeve
ONE BY ONE hidden up my sleeve
Hey don't let it go to waste
I love it but I hate the taste
Weight keeping me down (x2)
Will I find a believer
Another one who believes
Another one to deceive
Over and over down on my knees
If I get any closer
And if you open up wide
And if you let me inside
On and on I've got nothing to hide
On and on I've got nothing to hide
Hey don't let it go to waste
I love it but I hate the taste
Weight keeping me down (x2)
All my life I've been searching for something
Something never comes never leads to nothing
Nothing satisfies but I'm getting close
Closer to the prize at the end of the rope
All night long I dream of the day
When it comes around then it's taken away
Leaves me with the feeling that I feel the most
The feeling comes to life when I see your ghost
And I'm done, done and I'm under the next one (x8, then x4 but yelling)
Hey don't let it go to waste
I love it but I hate the taste
Weight keeping me down (x2)
(yelling)
Done done and under the next one
Done I'm done and I'm under the next
