Artist: Green Day

Song: American Idiot (live)

Album: American Idiot (sort of)

Tuning: Standard (EADGBe)

Tabbed by: Hawk987 (Jake)

E-mail: btfenwndm@yahoo.com



Notes: This song is played in various ways depending on which recording you're

listening to. This tab is the way I play it based on the various live versions

I've heard.  They rythms are probably wrong, but I'll try anyway. Chances are,

if you're looking for tabs of this song, you already have a good feeling of 

the rythms and timings. The lyrics are not aligned with the tabs, they're just 

there to help you figure out where you are in the song. Unless specified, there 

are 2 guitars playing the same thing.



Key:

 /  slide up

 \  slide down

 h  hammer-on

 p  pull-off

Yay! I finished my second tab! This song is very simple, and easy to play.

The length of the bridge after the solo depends of which recording you have

and whether of not BJ talks to the crowd, or just keeps playing.

Any, questions, comments, corrections, insults, or thoughts should be sent to

btfenwndm@yahoo.com

please don't send any lyrical or rythmic corrections.

Feel free to use this tab in anyway you like as long as you leave my name(s)

and e-mail address on it. and don't do anything illegal with it either.

(ya, no, like, you can't make a profit off it or anything...)

I also have a couple of mp3's of this song (live) that i could send 2 u, if u

ask for them.
