This is my first tab. All the tabs I found for this song were either inaccurate or
didn't show both guitars playing separately. I borrowed from other tabs as well as
YouTube videos and this is what I came up with. There are some harmonics and bends
towards the end that Shiflett plays. I didn't put these in. If you want the most
accurate tab, buy the tab book for One by One. :)

Now, it splits into two parts for the rest of the verse - Grohl and Shifflet play
different parts here, Shiflett plays the lead. Now, for Grohl's part you can do
power chords A5 and Bb5 instead. You can judge whichever sounds better to you.

Now you can either let these notes ring or strum them. You can figure out the
strumming pattern yourself. There are slight variations in the strumming pattern;
do it however it sounds best for you.
Now you go back to the verse/main riff and play that twice. Then Chris comes in
after the verse is played twice and you do the same thing as the first time around
when it splits into two parts.
Chorus again
THEN Verse/Main Riff (first part only, don't play the part where they split) x 2
