Person: James McLafferty song: Stacked Actors (improved) artist: Foo Fighters tab: Transcribed by: James McLafferty Email: placid.jim@dtn.ntl.com Artist: Foo Fighters Song Title: Stacked Actors Released: October 1999 Album- There is Nothing Left to Lose Tabbed: 24-1-00 The original by gavin helped a lot, and the song is a lot harder than it sounds, but its in Drop A. The Sixth string (low E) is tuned down to an A. If you try and play a long with your guitar tuned to D or anything else it sounds wrong. There a few corrections. thanks to Gavin for the original. Drop Tuning Key : {4} - this is a harmonic on the fourth fret of the drop A it is a C#. If you can't do that you can play the note in brackets like this (6 6) Intro (riff 1) just Gtr1 (Dave) x2 e|---------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------------| G|---------------------------------------------(6-6)-------| D|---------------------------------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------------------------| A|--0--0--3-553/--10--10\--3-553/--8--8--77653-{4-4}-4-6653| (riff2) gtr's 1 and 2 and bass e|---------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------------| G|---------------------------------------------(6-6)-------| D|---------------------------------------------------------| A|--0--0--3-553/--10--10\--3-553/--8--8--77653-------4-6653| A|--0--0--3-553/--10--10\--3-553/--8--8--77653-{4-4}-4-6653| (riff 2a) e|--------------------------------------------------------- B|--------------------------------------------------------- G|--------------------------------------------------------- D|--------------------------------------------------------- A|--0--0--3-553/--10--10\--3-553/--8--8--77653------------- A|--0--0--3-553/--10--10\--3-553/--8--8--77653------------- (the bass riff at the end of 2a) G|--------------------------------------------------------- D|--------------------------------------------------------- A|--0-66-5-3----------------------------------------------- E|--------------------------------------------------------- Verse (riff 3) Guitar 1 plays: Am7 e|----3----3/5-5\3-----|---3-3-3-6-6-5-3-------------------- B|----1----1/3-3\1-----|---1-1-1-4-4-3-1-------------------- G|----0----0/0-0\0-----|---0-0-0-0-0-0-0-------------------- D|--2-2----2/4-4\2-----|-2-2-2-2-5-5-4-2-------------------- A|--0-0----3/5-5\3-----|-0-0-3-3/6 6-5-3-------------------- A|---------------------|------------------------------------ Guitar two plays this through a a tremolo pedal on fast e|-0-------------------------------------------------------- B|-1-------------------------------------------------------- G|-0-------------------------------------------------------- D|-2-------------------------------------------------------- A|-0-------------------------------------------------------- A|---------------------------------------------------------- Oh mirror mirror, your'e coming in clear I'm finally somewhere in between I'm impressed what a beautiful chest I never meant to make a big scene Will you resign to the latest design You look so messy when you dress up in dreams One more for hire, a wonderful liar I think its time we should all become clean Pre Chorus (riff 3) e|---------------------------------------------------------- B|---------------------------------------------------------- G|---------------------------------------------------------- D|---------------------------------------------------------- A|--0-------------------0----------------------0------------ A|--0-------------------0----------------------0------------ Stack dead actors Stacked to the rafters Line up all e|--------------------------------------------------------- B|--------------------------------------------------------- G|--------------------------------------------------------- D|---0-------------------0--0--0--------------------------- A|---0-------------------0--0--0--------------------------- A|---0-------------------0--0--0--------------------------- the bastards all I want is the truth Chorus (riff 2 x2 riff 2a x1) Hey Hey now, can you fake it Can you make it look like we want Hey Hey now, can you take it And we cry when they all die blonde Verse 2 (riff 3) little solo before second verse (guitar 2): e|--2h3-0-2h3-2-0------------------------------------------ B|------------------------------320------------------------ G|-------------------------0-2--------0-2h4-2b-2b---------- D|--------------------------------------------------------- A|--------------------------------------------------------- D|--------------------------------------------------------- God bless, what a sensitive mess Yeah but things aren't always what they seem Your teary eyes, your famous disguise Never knowing who to believe See through yeah, but what do you do When you're just another ageing drag queen Pre Chorus (riff 4) Chorus 2 (riff 2 x3 riff 2a x1) Hey Hey now, can you fake it Can you make it look like we want Hey Hey now, can you take it And we cry when they all die blonde Stack dead actors.
