means that wherever "F" occurs in the song, play it on the 6th string, and wherever
"F(2)" occurs, play it on the 5th string. The reason for this seems obvious to me, but
I kinda have to explain it because 99% of the internet is retarded: the purpose is each
chord, "F" and "F(2)" are both technically of the fifth form F5 , the only difference
being that F(2) is one octave higher than F. So in a song where there is an F played on
the 6th string, then later, an F is played on the 5th string, the two must somehow be
differentiated or else it will sound weird when the reader attempts to play it. Duh.
Anyhow, I chose this method over tabbing the chords over and over throughout the song
because it keeps things nice and neat. I also tried to place the chord changes over the
lyrics as accurately as possible, but it's not precise. It shouldn't need to be anyhow;
music is all vibes. Get a feel for the song and the chord changes should come naturally,
as should the rhythm. Practice makes perfect!
If you find any major errors or what-not, feel free to send me an e-mail. Chances are, I
won't respond if you have a minor variation to a solo or a lyric. If you're good enough to
hear what I can't, then you don't really need this file, do you? Leave me alone. If, on the
other hand, there's some outrageous mistake, let me know. I'll be cool about it.
So, that's it. Enjoy. And if you're in Phoenix, give me a shout; we'll party. Until
next time, kiddies - rock on!

Notes:
This song is complicated yet simple; the chord structure is
characteristically Green Day in that there are very few chords played in
different patterns for the verse, pre-chorus, chorus, etc. Where it differs
from their other songs, however, is its dramatic shifts in style and tone
throughout. Incidentally, the song is nearly 10 minutes long, comparable in
length to rock operas like "Stairway to Heaven" and "Bohemian Rhapsody."
To date, this is Green Day's only rock opera (with the possible exception of
"Homecoming," another track on this album).
Consequently, I've broken it down into component parts, each part denoting a
shift in style or tone; these are denoted by "PART" and then a roman numeral
designating the part of the song.

Sieg Heil to the President-Gas-Man
"Bombs away!" is your punishment!
Pulverize the Eiffel Towers
Who criticize your government
Bang! Bang! goes a broken classic
Kill all the fags that don't agree
Triumph by fire
Setting fires is not a way that's meant for me

NOTES: This song makes use of a particular riff, introduced at the beginning. This
pattern is played over the chords being strummed in the background. So, when the
rhythm guitar strums the "A" chord, the lead guitar plays this riff over A, when
the background guitar plays "D", the pattern stays the same, but is then played
over "D". This pattern occurs consistently throughout the song. I'll tab out the
pattern over each chord once; after that, I'll assume the reader knows the pattern
{section: And is playing it over the transcribed chords}

--== Homecoming ==--
NOTE: Sorry about listing all of these chords here, but this song is like 9 minutes
long and certain parts of use different forms of the same chords. Technically,
you could ignore these and just play power chords, which would be a good enough
approximation. I'm simply including these for individuals who want to know the precise
chords (or rather, as precise as I can figure them)

(play a "D" chord and let it ring over the "nobody likes you" voice)
Nobody likes you
Everyone left you
They're all out with out you
Havin' fun...
--== Whatsername ==--
Notes: Guitar is "Drop D" tuned. Sounds a bit like two songs put together:
"One Headlight" by the Wallflowers, with the chorus of "Surrender" by Cheap Trick
as a bridge. But, whatever. I smoke a lot of crack.

Well, that's the complete album. I hope it helps those of you who like
Green Day enough to emulate them via your guitar. Special thanks go out
to Mike Fireball & Brian Grey for getting me the cd, greendayauthority.com
for most of the lyrics and to reizig for the parts of "Letterbomb" I borrowed
from his tab. And of course, Green Day!

means that wherever "F" occurs in the song, play it on the 6th string, and wherever
"F(2)" occurs, play it on the 5th string. The reason for this seems obvious to me, but
I kinda have to explain it because 99% of the internet is retarded: the purpose is each
chord, "F" and "F(2)" are both technically of the fifth form  F5 , the only difference
being that F(2) is one octave higher than F. So in a song where there is an F played on
the 6th string, then later, an F is played on the 5th string, the two must somehow be
differentiated or else it will sound weird when the reader attempts to play it. Duh.

Anyhow, I chose this method over tabbing the chords over and over throughout the song
because it keeps things nice and neat. I also tried to place the chord changes over the
lyrics as accurately as possible, but it's not precise. It shouldn't need to be anyhow;
music is all vibes. Get a feel for the song and the chord changes should come naturally,
as should the rhythm. Practice makes perfect!

If you find any major errors or what-not, feel free to send me an e-mail. Chances are, I
won't respond if you have a minor variation to a solo or a lyric. If you're good enough to
hear what I can't, then you don't really need this file, do you? Leave me alone. If, on the
other hand, there's some outrageous mistake, let me know. I'll be cool about it.

So, that's it. Enjoy. And if you're in Phoenix, give me a shout; we'll party. Until
next time, kiddies - rock on!

Notes:

This song is complicated yet simple; the chord structure is
characteristically Green Day in that there are very few chords played in
different patterns for the verse, pre-chorus, chorus, etc. Where it differs
from their other songs, however, is its dramatic shifts in style and tone
throughout. Incidentally, the song is nearly 10 minutes long, comparable in
length to rock operas like "Stairway to Heaven" and "Bohemian Rhapsody."

To date, this is Green Day's only rock opera (with the possible exception of
"Homecoming," another track on this album).

Consequently, I've broken it down into component parts, each part denoting a
shift in style or tone; these are denoted by "PART" and then a roman numeral
designating the part of the song.

NOTES: This song makes use of a particular riff, introduced at the beginning. This
pattern is played over the chords being strummed in the background. So, when the
rhythm guitar strums the "A" chord, the lead guitar plays this riff over A, when
the background guitar plays "D", the pattern stays the same, but is then played
over "D". This pattern occurs consistently throughout the song. I'll tab out the
pattern over each chord once; after that, I'll assume the reader knows the pattern

                           --== Homecoming ==--

NOTE: Sorry about listing all of these chords here, but this song is like 9 minutes
long and certain parts of use different forms of the same chords. Technically,
you could ignore these and just play power chords, which would be a good enough
approximation. I'm simply including these for individuals who want to know the precise
chords (or rather, as precise as I can figure them)

Part III:
(keep strumming D for awhile; it sounds like Billie is using a flange effect)

[D]I fell asle[A]ep while w[G]atching Spike[A] TV

Part IV:
(apparently written and sung by Tre)

{section: Intro}
[D]   [E]

Geez...ha...

[A]I got a rock and roll band

[D]I got a rock and roll life

[A]I got a rock and roll girlfriend

[E]And another ex-wife

[A]I got a rock and roll house

[D]I got a rock and roll car

O[G]ff of my [A]case

[D]

Part V:
(very tricky rhythm here; listen closely to the timing)

[D]  [B]  [G]  [A]

[D]Here they come marching d[B]own the street

[D]Like a desperation [B]murmur of a h[G]eartb[A]eat

[D]Coming back from the e[B]dge of town

[G]Underneath their f[A]eet   [G]      [A]

[G]In the summer h[A]eat   [D]      [A]

[G]The world is spi[A]nning

[G]Round and round

Out of con[A]trol aga[D]in [A]

{section: Outro}
(play a "D" chord and let it ring over the "nobody likes you" voice)

Nobody likes you
Everyone left you
They're all out with out you
Havin' fun...


                           --== Whatsername ==--

Notes: Guitar is "Drop D" tuned. Sounds a bit like two songs put together:
"One Headlight" by the Wallflowers, with the chorus of "Surrender" by Cheap Trick
as a bridge. But, whatever. I smoke a lot of crack.

Well, that's the complete album. I hope it helps those of you who like
Green Day enough to emulate them via your guitar. Special thanks go out
to Mike Fireball & Brian Grey for getting me the cd, greendayauthority.com
for most of the lyrics and to reizig for the parts of "Letterbomb" I borrowed
from his tab. And of course, Green Day!

The chord source is shown as supplied because its ChordPro syntax could not be parsed.
