Times Like These - Foo Fighters (2002)


SIMPLIFIED INTRO RIFF CHORDS:
2 VERSIONS:

VERSION 1

Place and maintain an open D7 chord.
Add 4th finger to bounce between D and D7.


          
  e|---2----2-
  B|---1----3-
  G|---2----2-
  D|---0----0-
  A|----------
  E|----------

--|
--|    lift and replace 4th finger (at 3rd fret on this string)
--|
--|
--|
--|


VERSION 2

Play D as a 5th fret barre chord, without the top string E. (can partial-barre the 7th fret)
Lift 7th fret finger off, leaving just the 5th fret barre.
(This replaces the D7, I'm not sure what chord it is, so I'm calling it D? here!)


       D?   D
  e|----------
  B|---5----7-
  G|---5----7-
  D|---5----7-
  A|---5----5-
  E|---5----5-

--|
--|    lift and replace 7th fret notes, keeping the 5th fret barred.
--|    (don't play top e string)
--|
--|
--|


When the Intro Riff first appears, I've outlined the strum pattern.

For the 7-beat riff, I've indicated the counts (bars of 4 and bars of 3)
