Ok, to start, tune your guitar down a half step.  This is a great song by Green Day and probably one of the easiest songs you will ever learn. 
This is my first tab, so I hope you like it.
*******PLEASE PLAY THE SONG YOURSELF BEFORE YOU RATE THIS*******
I AM SURE THIS IS 100% RIGHT. LISTEN TO THE SONG AND THE PALM MUTES WILL MAKE SENSE.
Palm Mute= *
Slide Up= /  
Slide Down=
Stuccato= ^

Intro/Verse:

Eb|---------------------------------------------------------|
Bb|-------------------------8-8-8-8-------------------------|
Gb|--------------7-7-7-7-7--9-9-9-9--5---5------------------| 
Db|--5-5-5-5-5---7-7-7-7-7--9-9-9-9--5---5------------------|        
Ab|--5-5-5-5-5---5-5-5-5-5--7-7-7-7--3---3------------------|       
Eb|--3-3-3-3-3----------------------------------------------|
     * * * *     * * * *    * * *
Repeat 2 times for the intro.  It goes straight into the verse doing the same pattern 

Chorus:

Eb|---------------------------------------------------------|
Bb|---------------------------------------------------------|
Gb|--22222222--55555555--22222222--5555-5-------------------| 1x
Db|--22222222--55555555--22222222--5555-5-------------------|
Ab|--00000000--33333333--00000000--3333-3-------------------|
Eb|---------------------------------------------------------|
                                        ^
Go straight from the chorus to the second verse (same as first verse)

After the second verse, go straight to the second chorus (same as first chorus)

Play intro twice after second chorus and go to solo

Solo:

Eb|--3-------5----------3--3-----5-5---3--33---------------------------|
Bb|----3---3---3---3----3--3-----3-3---3--33---------------------------|
Gb|------0-------0------0--0--0--0-0---0--00---------------------------|
Db|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
Ab|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
Eb|--------------------------------------------------------------------|

Eb|--3--355--555--333----------------------------------------------|
Bb|--3--333--333--333------5-------5/15----------------------------|
Gb|--0--000--000--000--/4--4--4-5----------------------------------|
Db|----------------------------------------------------------------|
Ab|----------------------------------------------------------------|
Eb|---------------------------------------153---------------------|
    Note: The slides at the end of the Solo are pretty random so they dont HAVE to go to
          the 15th fret-its just a guideline

After solo go straight to the final chorus 

Finally play the intro again 4 times and let the last chord ring out.

Sounds good man-I gave it a really quick play through before voting on it like you asked.
