Ok, I've only seen one vid of Tim playing this song and I don't think he actually plays an
intro, but it's fun to put in there just to make it sound a bit better, plus it's really easy.
it's the same as Green Days song.

another way to look at it...
if you number your strings from 1 to 6, your fat E string being 1 and your
little e string being 6, you would hold the following chords G,G,Cadd9,D
as displayed above...and this would be your strumming pattern...
G G Cadd9 D
135434 135434 235434 345434
so for example for the first G chord finger picking you would hold the G chord,
and pluck the Fat E string, then the D string, B string, G string, D string, and
the G string.
have fun. please correct me if I messed up, this is my first one ever! =]
