Green Day is an American punk rock band formed in 1986 by lead vocalist and guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong and bassist Mike Dirnt. For much of the band's career, they have been a trio with drummer Tré Cool, who replaced John Kiffmeyer in 1990 prior to the recording of the band's second studio album, Kerplunk (1991). Guitarist Jason White, who has been a touring member since 1999, was an official member from 2012 to 2016.
Green Day was originally part of the punk scene at the DIY 924 Gilman Street club in Berkeley, California.
Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
First attempt at a tab, please go easy on me... Basically, I couldn't find a really simple, easy version of this to play, so I took the chords for the normal version and figured out an acoustic way to play it that suits my style and isn't too much of a challenge for my simplistic, unarticulate fingers.
Capo 4
Intro: G---F-C-- x3, then hold on G
CAm Well, I've got some scattered pictures lying on my bedroom floor. F Reminds me of the time we shared. G Makes me wish that you were here. Well, CAm Now it seems I've forgotten my purpose in this life. F All the songs have been erased. G Guess I've learned from my mistakes.
AmCGF Open the past and present, now and we are there. DmFC Story to tell and I am listening DmCGF Open the past and present, and the future too. DmFC It's all I've got and I'm givin it to you.
Loose ends tied in knots. Leaving a lump down in my throat. Gagging on a souvenir. Lodged to fill another year. Drag it on and on until my skin is ripped to shreads. Leaving myself open wide Living out a sacrifice.
Open the past and present, now and we are there. Story to tell and I am listening Open the past and present, and the future too. It's all I've got and I'm givin it to you.
Bridge: (repeat intro chords x2)
GFC If you got no one GFC and I've got no place to go, GFC would it be alright? G Could it be alright?
C (Hold for a bit, palm mute, whatever you like, then move onto verse)
Well, I've got gome scattered pictures lying on my bedroom floor. Reminds me of the times we shared. Makes me wish that you were here. Well, Now it seems I've forgotten my purpose in this life. All the songs have been erased. Guess I've learned from my mistakes.
Open the past and present, now and we are there. Story to tell and I am listening Open the past and present, and the future too. It's all I've got and I'm givin it to you. It's all I've got and I'm givin it to you.
