Enjoy the tab! ***** ################################################################################# # DO NOT REMOVE FROM DOCUMENT! # ################################################################################# Author's Notes: If you wanna use this file in its entirety, or just as individual songs, make sure to include my name on it somewhere. I worked hard on these so you could use them for free. Don't plagiarize. This text file is broken down as follows: songs are separated by a "____" At the beginning of each song, I've defined all the chords that will be used, and to what they will be referred. For example: F: F(2): e|-----| e|-----| B|-----| B|-----| G|-----| G|--10-| D|--3--| D|--10-| A|--3--| A|--8--| E|--1--| E|-----| means that wherever "F" occurs in the song, play it on the 6th string, and wherever "F(2)" occurs, play it on the 5th string. The reason for this seems obvious to me, but I kinda have to explain it because 99% of the internet is retarded: the purpose is each chord, "F" and "F(2)" are both technically of the fifth form (F5), the only difference being that F(2) is one octave higher than F. So in a song where there is an F played on the 6th string, then later, an F is played on the 5th string, the two must somehow be differentiated or else it will sound weird when the reader attempts to play it. Duh. Anyhow, I chose this method over tabbing the chords over and over throughout the song because it keeps things nice and neat. I also tried to place the chord changes over the lyrics as accurately as possible, but it's not precise. It shouldn't need to be anyhow; music is all vibes. Get a feel for the song and the chord changes should come naturally, as should the rhythm. Practice makes perfect! If you find any major errors or what-not, feel free to send me an e-mail. Chances are, I won't respond if you have a minor variation to a solo or a lyric. If you're good enough to hear what I can't, then you don't really need this file, do you? Leave me alone. If, on the other hand, there's some outrageous mistake, let me know. I'll be cool about it. So, that's it. Until next time, kiddies - rock on! ################################################################################# Track List: 1. American Idiot 2. Jesus of Suburbia 3. Holiday 4.

Incidentally, the song is nearly 10 minutes long, comparable in length to rock operas like "Stairway to Heaven" and "Bohemian Rhapsody." To date, this is Green Day's only rock opera (with the possible exception of "Homecoming," another track on this album). Consequently, I've broken it down into component parts, each part denoting a shift in style or tone; these are denoted by "PART" and then a roman numeral designating the part of the song.

This pattern is played over the chords being strummed in the background. So, when the rhythm guitar strums the "A" chord, the lead guitar plays this riff over A, when the background guitar plays "D", the pattern stays the same, but is then played over "D". This pattern occurs consistently throughout the song. I'll tab out the pattern over each chord once; after that, I'll assume the reader knows the pattern and is playing it over the transcribed chords :) [Intro] (repeat 2x) A D E|------------------------------------------------------2--------------------2-----------| B|-----------2---------------------2-----------------3-----3-----3--------3-----3-----3--| G|--------2-----2-----2---------2-----2-----2-----2-----------2--------2-----------2-----| D|-----2-----------2---------2-----------2-----0--------------------0--------------------| A|--0---------------------0--------------------------------------------------------------| E|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| [Verse] (Continue the riff from the intro) A Starry nights, city lights D Coming down over me A Skyscrapers and stargazers D In my head A D Are we we are, are we we are the waiting unknown (The riff is now played over F# and E): F# E D(2) E|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|-------------10-----------------------9--9--9\7--7-----------7--------------------7-----------| G|---------11------11------11--------9--------9\7--7--------7-----7-----7--------7-----7-----7--| D|-----11--------------11---------9----------------------7-----------7--------7-----------7-----| A|-9--------------------------7----------------------5--------------------5--------------------| E|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| This dirty town was burning down in my dreams (repeat above riff) Lost and found city bound in my dreams [Chorus] D And screaming A D Are we we are, Are we we are the waiting...

_________________________________________________________________________________ --== Homecoming ==-- NOTE: Sorry about listing all of these chords here, but this song is like 9 minutes long and certain parts of use different forms of the same chords.

I hope it helps those of you who like Green Day enough to emulate them via your guitar. Special thanks go out to Mike Fireball & Brian Grey for getting me the cd, greendayauthority.com for most of the lyrics and to reizig for the parts of "Letterbomb" I borrowed from his tab. And of course, Green Day! ______________________________________________________________________________ ************************************ | x Dead note | h Hammer-on | p Pull-off | / Slide up | \ Slide down | ~ Vibrato ************************************
