We have an official Macys Day Parade tab made by UG professional guitarists.
Check out the tab
Macy's Day Parade by Green Day
 
This is probably the most complete tab you'll find anywhere.
Like a lot of musicians, I'm really lazy, so I just tabbed out rhythm slashes.
Change rhythm where you see "Use Rhythm ..." whatever.
I think it's pretty straight forward, but that may be just me...
Have fun!

VERSE 1
 B
    Today's a Macy's Day Parade
     G#m
 The night of the living dead is on its way
 E5                       F#5       B
    With the credit report for duty call
 
(Drums Enter)
 B
    It's a lifetime guarantee
 G#m
 Stuffed in a coffin 10% more free
 E5               F#5             B
    Red light special at the mausoleum
 
PRECHORUS
 E5
    Give me something that I need
 F#5                           E5
    Satisfaction guaranteed to you
 
 What's the consolation prize?
 F#5                        B
    Economy sized dreams of hope
 
VERSE 2
 B
    When I was a kid I thought
   G#m
 I wanted all the things that I haven't got
 E5              F#5              B
    Oh, but I learned the hardest way
 
 B
    Then I realized what it took
    G#m
 To tell the difference between thieves and crooks
 E5            F#5               B
    When all along it was me and you

Actually, I think this tab is the most accurate I've seen on here. Good job.
well you know just because it's the most written out as you say (which I don't agree with) quality is better than quantity. think about that...
