Seven Nation Army Guitar Tab
Here's the Seven Nation Army Guitar Tab. This is one of those catchy songs a guitar player at any level should be able to play without to much trouble. The 'hook' of the song is the bass line played during the verse. The Chorus and Pre-chorus consist of simple power chords played in succession. The tab maps it all out:

You'll note that the hook of the song (the bass line played during the verses) are actually repeated throughout the entire song. During the chorus, this same line is put in its power chord form and played higher on the neck. The chorus needs some quick fingerwork as is a good exercise for practicing power chords played in quick succession.
