This song is my favorite song ever and I love Greenday. Most of the other tabs that
I have seen for this, though, are completely wrong so I decided to write my own for
all those of you who are desperate for one.
This is my first ever tab so if it is wrong then don’t hit me with ironing boards or
anything.
Enjoy.
Chords needed:
G 320033 (use this G, 320003 doesn’t work as well)
Cadd9 032030
D xx0232
Em 022000
C 032010
The first part of this song is the hardest to do, so, if u cant follow it then do what I did and improvise.

The end of this part is where Billie J starts to strum and it gets easier.

(Finish song with a full G down stroke after riff.)
Looking back at it now I’ve probably gone into a bit too much detail on this.
However I still think that this is the most accurate tab I’ve seen (no offence
to everybody else). The first part might be wrong but the chords used are definitely
the right ones.
