This tab is completely correct.  I have worked on this song for nearly one 
year to get it completely correct.  The bridge is the hardest to figure out.  
The part after the chorus on all other tabs I have seen are wrong.  
It is very hard, but stick with it.  You'll get it.

This is such an awesome song, so don't give up just because it's a 
little hard.  Stick with it, you'll get it sooner or later. Have fun.

Hey Everybody! There's a way you can look at this tab the way it was supposed to be seen! The reason it looks wrong on this site is because the font that ultimate guitar uses makes everything look uneven! So just Copy and Paste everything in that tab into your Word Processing system whatever it may be, and change the font to anything that makes the tab look even. On my computer Courier New works the best but I don't know if all computers have Courier New. Anyway this tab is perfect! It just looks bad because of this damn sites font!

I am the one who wrote up this tab. If there happens to be anything wrong with it at all, for some reason, E-Mail me at MikeDirntG3@hotmail.com. I will fix whatever is wrong. I want everybody to have the correct Green Day-Longview tab. Any other tabs I submit will, and I guarantee it, be abseloutely correct.
