We have an official Holiday tab made by UG professional guitarists.
Check out the tab
Tabbed by: SilentWolf127
Band: Green Day
Song: Holiday
Album: American Idiot
Track Number: 3
 
This is Green Day's, political bashing song, it's very simple to play. When they recorded
song they used two amps at the same time and that's what gives the intro the high pitch
sound, because they were set for different tones, thus making it impossible to make it
sound right without hooking up two amps. You'll have to listen for the timing yourself.
Well have fun.
 
Tab Notation:
X - Muted String (Meant as a fill to allow power chord change)

~ - Let Ring (Let the notes ring [Hold the notes] for a second)
