Why are you looking at this tab if you think greenday are "a UBER SHITE MOTHERF**KING USELESS BAND"? and person who wrote this did you ReAlLy NeEd To WrItE lIkE tHiS ?

This is absolutely amazing, if its not 100% i will still play it like this, and i think its awesome of him to make both the tab AND the chords. D/F# Is just a simple D chord, propably the easiest chord of all time. And to those saying Green day is shit, the song is shit, bla blah my ass hurts, Why bother looking for tabs? You might aswell grow up now before its too late. 5stars mate, *****
