Tablature Legend:
/ =slide

X =mute with hand
(Guitar 2 (Jason White) is optional.Live Jason plays the solo,I said
Guitar 1(Billie Joe) plays the solo so if he/she is playing by themselves
they wouldnt get confused.To hear this song(live) besides going to one of
their concerts is to watch Sessions @ AOL airing on fuse or YAHOO! Launch.
You can also play the CD version with this tab,just dont play the interludes
& two chorus' after it..I've been to a couple of Green Day shows
& this looks like what they play.You could use the CD to get the rythm for
this song.For all the riffs use downstrokes & upstrokes.I went to a Green
Day concert and noticed after the interlude he plays more chorus' then I
put.They play more chorus' because BJ talks to the crowd.This is what they
play when they don't talk.I even wrote where Mike sings along.When playing
the verse' I labeled where to sing when playing what chord.This tab is
off of YAHOO! Launch.The first riff with the "X's" is optional.Billie Joe
does not use pedals.Jason does not use pedals.)

(1:12-1:14) And sing along in the age of paranoia.
