M.I.A. by the Foo Fighters.. tabbed by @ragingzen Here’s a lesson I made teaching this song for visual learners: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jdhQ_rlqdAc DADGAe tuning.. pay attention to this.. the B string’s tuned down to A in this song. Gadd#11 - 5556XX (no3) G5 -  5557XX  or G5 - 555XXX F5 -  333XXX A5 -  X0220X  or A5 - 777XXX D5 -  000XXX Bb5 - X133XX  or Bb5 - 888XXX B5 -  999XXX B power -  X244XX C power -  X355XX C# power - X466XX D power -  X577XX E power -  X799XX / - slide up (only used when sliding from the D power chord to E during the refrain) (x2) - simply means play the indicated chord twice INTRO: This is the riff that is played continuously throughout: When you see “RIFF” written it means play this riff before switching back to the power chords e|------0-------0---------0------0---| A|------0-------0---------0------0---| D|0-----0---0---0---5-----5---5--5---| A|0-----0---0---0---5-----5---5--5---| D|0---------0---0---5---------5--5---| The 5556XX chord above is a Gadd#11 and the 5557XX is simply a slightly more or just barre the 5th fret like this 555XXX - your choice.
