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.

This is a really cool song off of 39/Smooth (a whooping "huh?" from trendies). You may have to improvise some parts, so just listen to the song a few times, but it's a LOT of fun to play. All tuning IS standard.
then: 4X (you use this part a lot) E------------------------------------------------------------------------- B------------------------------------------------------------------------- G-------------------------------4-------x-------x-------5-------x-------7- D-------5-------x-------x-------4-------x-------x-------5-------x-------5- A-------5-------x-------x-------2-------x-------x-------3-------x-------5- E-------3-------x-------x------------------------------------------------- G5B5C5D5 (then some impossible solo i can't figure out)
then play that second pattern up there 8X (hey there looking at me...)

E--------------------------------------------------------- B--------------------------------------------------------- G---------------5---------------5---------------5-------7- D-------2-------5-------2-------5-------2-------5-------7- A-------2-------3-------2-------3-------2-------3-------5- E-------0---------------0---------------0-----------------
verse 2 chorus
then that second part for awhile, and fade to a palm mute on a G5 chord (why did you have to have to leave so soon?...) and a played out D5 on "away?"
go to the second guitar part 8X (oh well it happened again...)
the coda's the same as the intro, ending with the impossible guitar solo, and a powerful G5
G5B5C5D5 hey there looking at me G5B5C5D5 tell me what do you see? G5B5C5D5 but you quickly turn your head a- G5B5C5D5 way
try to find the words i could use to have the courage to come on to you my chance is looking rather grim
E5C5 staring across the room E5C5 are you leaving soon? E5C5D5 i just need a little time
what is it that drives me mad? girls like you that i never had what is it about you that i a- dore? what makes me feel so much pain? what makes me go so insane? what is it about you that i a- dore?
staring across the room are you leaving soon? i just need a little time, D5 what time? WAAAAAAA!!!
G5 why did you have to leave so soon? D5 why did you have to walk away? oh well it happened again she walked away with her boyfriend maybe we'll meet again some day
