Title: Give Me Novacaine
Album: American Idiot
Email: john1645@msu.edu
By: Alpha-Q
Tuning: Standard (E,A,D,G,b,e) (Low to High)



Note: I like to play this song with a capo over the 2nd fret. 
Makes it really easy. I don\'t know how to tab songs with a capo 
so I\'ll just write out the part as if no capo was on the guitar 
so you can play it with out one.

Verse\'s  (play all up and down strokes, there is another guitar that pulsates this)
