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.

Here's the entire album. Didn't bother with Welcome To Paradise since it's on Kerplunk! Anyway, this might seem a little cryptic at first but you'll figure it out. I've written down all the riffs in each song. You'll have to figure out how many times to repeat stuff and when to play it but everything's here. It'll make sense once you follow along with it. I don't have the time to write out all the lyrics with the chords above the words. Please send me any revisions if you thing I goofed or made a typo somewhere. Enjoy...

>I've seen a lot of posts for this song, and others by Green Day. The main thing to remember is that Green Day's music is based upon the power (barre) cords. They are really easy to play once you know these. Many don't know what I mean, so: E--X-- E--X-- B--X-- B--10-- G--2-- is a barre cord. For one octave higher G--10-- D--3-- Just go to the A string D--10-- A--3-- and move up 7 frets from A--8-- E--1-- the same position, yet E--X-- the B string one fret to compensate for the Half-step differential.
(Often, only the first three strings are played in the chord) One of the easiest ways for me to crank the cords on the A string without disturbing the E is to gently mute the E with the tip of my index finger while holding the cord. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Basket Case" (I don't have time to type out the rythym, so that is up to you) Chord Progression: E--X-------X-------X-------X-------X-------X-------X-- B--X-------X-------X-------X-------X-------X-------X-- G--8-------X-------5-------X-------X-------8-------X-- D--8-------8-------5-------5-------6-------8-------8-- A--6-------8-------3-------5-------6-------6-------8-- E--X-------6-------X-------3-------4-------X-------6-- Do you..Time to..Listen..Whine..About...Everyth..once ..I.am....Those....Melodra.Fools..Neurot...Bone....It
