Tab 1 & Intro
Verse: (play each line twice, then go to chorus)
G
C9
Dsus4
|-------3--------------3--------------3------------3------|
then it repeats, so it almost
|----------3-------------3--------------3------------3----|
sounds like it goes C9, Dsus4,
|-------------0------------0--------------0-----2------2--|
Gmodal. So, after the end of the
|---0--------------0--------------2-----------0-----------|
Dsus4 bit, go straight to the G
|------------------------------3--------------------------|
bass note.

G
|------3------------3-------------3------------3----------|
The above line gets played
|--------3------------3-------------3------------3--------|
twice, then this twice, and that's
|----------0-----2------2-------------0------------0------|
the verse. Then the line after
|---2----------0---------------2------------0-------------|
that is the chorus. Not that
|----------------------------3----------------------------|
complex, but this IS Green Day,
|-0---------------------------------------3---------------|
after all.

|------3---------3------| Okay, now, it's important
that you go straight back into the
|--------3---------3----| opening G of the verse,
because the Dsus4 sort of leaves you
|----------0---------2--| hanging there. Then
play the first half of the verse once
|---2----------0--------| through, then start it
all over again.
