"Geek Stink Breath"
by Green Day
 
Tuning: 1/2 step down
 
All power chords.
 
NOTE: In the chorus, Bb is x133xx, not 688xxx. For the first intro riff, play G5 at fret 3, then slide up to
play F5 at fret 10 (A string), and play C5 on the E string also at fret 10.
 
 
[Intro/Riff]
G / F   C  x4
 
G / F   G / F  x2
 
 
[Verse 1] (all PM)
    G /  F          G    /    F
I'm on a mission, I made my decision
          G       /    F      G    /   F
To lead a path of self destruction,
  G   /   F         G      /      F
A slow progression, killing my complexion
         G   /   F      G
And it's rotting out my teeth
 
 
[Chorus]
Bb       F     Bb         F
I'm on a roll, no self control
    Bb          F              Bb     F
I'm blowing off steam with methamphetamine,
            G           F                G             F
Well, don't know what I want, and that's all that I've got,
        G             F      G
And I'm picking scabs off my face
 
G / F   G / F
 
 
[Verse 2] (all PM)
G  /  F        G            /   F
Every hour ,my blood is turning sour,
       G            /   F       G    /   F
And my pulse is beating out of time
  G    /  F         G            /   F
I found a treasure, filled with sick pleasure,
       G      /  F          G
And it sits on a thin white line
 
 
[Chorus]
Bb       F     Bb         F
I'm on a roll, no self control
    Bb          F              Bb     F
I'm blowing off steam with methamphetamine,
            G           F                G             F
Well, don't know what I want, and that's all that I've got,
        G            F       G
And I'm picking scabs off my face
 
G / F   C  x8
 
 
[Verse 3] (all PM)
    G /  F             G    /   F
I'm on a mission, I've got no decision
       G            /  F       G      /   F
Like a cripple running the rat race
G    /  F         G       /   F
Wish in one hand, shit in the other,
    G          /  F           G
And see which one gets filled first
 
 
[Chorus]
Bb       F     Bb         F
I'm on a roll, no self control
    Bb          F              Bb     F
I'm blowing off steam with methamphetamine,
            G           F                G             F
Well, don't know what I want, and that's all that I've got,
        G            F       G
And I'm picking scabs off my face
 
G / F   C  x4

Good tab, but you forget to mention that it is half a step down. Also, the intro riff should be: G - F - C, you wrote it how it is in standard.

Its a good tab but the strumming pattern isn't all just down there is some rhythm and up strokes in there
