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?

/ 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.

Instrumental Chorus 1

           6       1          3 (1)

Do you ever think of me?
           11     6     8     3

You're so considerate.
             6      1          3 (1)

Did you ever think of me?
       11     6     8      3

Oh, so considerate.

Chorus 2

   6                         1        3 (1)             11     6     8     3
Why'd you have to go and let this die?
   6                         1        3 (1)             11     6     8     3
Why'd you have to go and let this die?

   6                         1        3 (1)             11     6     8     3
Why'd you have to go and let this die?

   6                         1       (no chord)
Why'd you have to go and let it die?
