Green Day - Macy's Day Parade
Warning 2000
Tabbed by ShreKula
This is very nice song by Green Day, that's why I want you to play it right.
All tab's here are almost right, but they missing one thing, they all have wrong
second chorus part. I will write all song again and when you play it you will see
what I mean. All chords are barre, they sounds better then just short power
chords. And for better sound I recommend using hand strumming.
Trick in Chorus #2-
After Chord B, play A#/B it is basically Bmaj with A# bass.
Enjoy!

This is right (I think the only 100% right tab on this site) but just an FYI this is a little different than the way it is played by Billie live , play the B and Abm chords on the 6th string and the E and F# on the 5th string. Then for the chorus play them all on the 5th string (with E being an open chord). It's much easier that way and it is the way Billie plays it.
Source: Just watched 2 close up videos of Billie playing this live. Check these out for the strumming pattern too.
