Let it Die

Foo Fighters


This is a simplified version of the song that I created for an 8-year-old student. It's played on just the 6th string. Instead of chord names, only the 6th string fret number is provided.

Playing a bass line on the 6th string is the easiest way to play a song on guitar--perfect for total beginners or kids who want to sing and play at the same time.


 

Intro: / 6 - 1 - / 3 - - - / x4

 

6               1           3 (1)              6   1    3 (1)

Heart of gold but it lost its pride

6               1             3 (1)                6   1    3 (1)
Beautiful veins and bloodshot eyes

         6             1          3 (1)           6   1    3 (1)
I've seen your face in another light

    6                        1         3 (1)       6   1    3 (1)
Why'd you have to go and let it die?

Chorus 1:

    6                        1         3 (1)
Why'd you have to go and let it die?

     11                    6         8          3
Why'd you have to go and let it die?

 6                        1         3 (1)
In too deep and out of time.

/ 6 - 1 - / 3 - - - / x2

 

     6          1                3 (1)              6   1    3 (1)
A simple man and his blushing bride

6       1        3 (1)              6   1    3 (1)
Intravenous, intertwined

6                   1            3 (1)              6   1    3 (1)
Hearts gone cold your hands were tied

   6                        1         3 (1)         6   1    3 (1)
Why'd you have to go and let it die?

Chorus 1

            3 (8)
Do you ever think of me?
You're so considerate.
Do you ever think of me?
Oh, so considerate.

In too deep and lost in time

   8                                  10
Why'd you have to go and let it die?

Beautiful veins and bloodshot eyes

   8                                  10
Why'd you have to go and let it die?

   11                            1

Hearts gone cold and hands are tied.
     8                                10

Why'd you have to go and let it die?
    11                            1

Why'd you have to go and let it die?
