You now need to use these chords, when the strumming part begins.
(if you listen to the track, you can get the strumming pattern pretty easily)

G9 C9 Dsus4 D
E|----3------3-----3------2---
B|----3------3-----3------3---
G|----0------0-----2------2---
D|----0------2-----0------0---
A|----2------3-----x------x---
E|----3------x-----x------x---

Em C
E|----0------0------
B|----0------1------
G|----0------0------
D|----2------2------
A|----2------3------
E|----0------x------


(Strum these chords) Interlude… with no singing…

G|----0-----------------------0--------------------2---- X2
D|----0-----------------------2--------------------0----
A|----2-----------------------3--------------------x----

Then second verse:

B|----3-----------------------3--------------------3----
G|----0-----------------------0--------------------2----
D|----0-----------------------2--------------------0----

B|----0---------3-------------1-------------3-------
G|----0---------2-------------0-------------0-------
D|----2---------0-------------2-------------0-------
A|----2---------x-------------3-------------2-------
E|----0---------x-------------x-------------3-------
For what it’s worth, it was worth all the while


Then, chorus again (this time with strumming pattern):

Em G9 Em G9

B|----0------------3-------------0------------3-------
G|----0------------0-------------0------------0-------
D|----2------------0-------------2------------0-------

D|----2-----------------0-------------
A|----2-----------------x-------------
E|----0-----------------x-------------
I hope you have the time of your life


Long interlude, at this point, violins have begun to play, (keep strumming pattern the same), all of interlude is without singing, (play this part of interlude twice first, before going to next part):

G9 C9 Dsus4
E|----3-----------------------3--------------------3----
B|----3-----------------------3--------------------3----
G|----0-----------------------0--------------------2---- X2

B|----0------------3-------------0------------3-------
G|----0------------0-------------0------------0-------
D|----2------------0-------------2------------0-------

E|----0------------3-------------0------------3-------
Its something unpredictable but in the end is right

E|----0-----------------2----
B|----0-----------------3----(get quieter on last chord (D) and slow
G|----0-----------------2---- down a little)
D|----2-----------------0----
A|----2-----------------x----
E|----0-----------------x----

I hope you had the time of your life


Last interlude (no singing):

G9 C9 Dsus4 G9 C9 D
E|----3------3-----3-----3-----3-----2----
B|----3------3-----3-----3-----3-----3----
G|----0------0-----2-----0-----0-----2----
D|----0------2-----0-----0-----2-----0----
A|----2------3-----x-----2-----3-----x----
E|----3------x-----x-----3-----x-----x----


Then final chorus, but with the original picking pattern:

E|--------------------------------------------------------|
B|------0-------------3-------------0-------------3-------|
G|----0---0---0-----0---0---0-----0---0---0-----0---0---0-|
D|----------2-------------0-------------2-------------0---|
A|-2---------------------------2--------------------------|
E|---------------3---------------------------3------------|
It's something unpredictable but in the end is right

E|--------------------------------------------------------|

G|----0---0---0-----2---2---2-----0---0---0---------------|
D|----------2----0--------0-------------0-----------------|
A|-2------------------------------------------------------|
E|-----------------------------3--------------------------|
I hope you had the time of your life

Then, finely the outro:

D|----------0--------------2----0--------0---
A|----------------3--------------------------

D|----------0------------0------------2----0---------0--0-
A|----------------------------3-------------------------2-
E|-3-------------3--------------------------------------3-


| x Mute note |


and there you go!!! It’s a very pretty song by Green Day (even though, its only really Billie Joe, playing/singing this) and, it doesn’t matter too much if you don’t get the picking pattern right, it still sounds pretty even with the extra notes, that you may hit!
