EVERLONG (ACOUSTIC) - FOO FIGHTERS
----------------------------------

First:  I'm aware this is meant to be played in 'D'
        but think it sounds fine CAPO'd on 2nd when playing on an acoustic.

Second: I have to mention and give credit to fgodzillo, whose version this is based on,
        just with a few tweaks based on how I play it myself.

Third:  The pre-chorus/riff.  You may want to adjust the strumming pattern based on how
        you're playing it, but as long as you hit the chords at the right time it should sound fine.


Strumming: Pretty much always down, rapidly.  But if you're not playing along to the song,
           you can make your own strumming pattern depending how slow/fast you want to play it.

So....
