 CHORDS:
   -------
       EADGBE            EADGBE
   G  (320033)    Em    (022000)
   C9 (x32033)    C     (x32010)
   D  (xx0232)    Dsus4 (xx0233)
   
   
   Good acoustic song from Green Day. For most of the song you don't
   play the high E string at all. Just mute it with your pinky.
   So the chords for the first 2 verses and first 2 choruses are
   more like this:   G  (32003x)
                     C9 (x3203x)
                     D  (xx023x)
                     Em (02200x)
                     C  (x3201x)
   
   Then at the end of the second chorus he starts strumming the whole
   chords.
   
   
   INTRO:
   ------
   
   Intro starts with this:
       G
   E|-------------------------------|
   B|-------------------------------|
   G|-------0-----------------0-----|
   D|---------0-----------------0---|
   A|-------------------------------|
   E|--3--3-------------3--3--------|
   
   
   Then play this twice:
   
       G                                  C9              D
   E|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
   B|-------3---------------3---------------3---------------3---------|
   G|-------0--0---0--------0--0---0--------0--0---0---2----2--2---0--|
   D|------------0---------------0-----2--2------0-----0--0------0----|
   A|-----2------------2--2------------3--3---------------------------|
   E|--3--3------------3--3-------------------------------------------|
   
   
   VERSE 1:
   --------
   
   Here's the tab for verse 1.
   
   First play this twice:
       G                                  C9              D
   E|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
   B|-------3---------------3---------------3---------------3---------|
   G|-------0--0---0--------0--0---0--------0--0---0---2----2--2---0--|
   D|------------0---------------0-----2--2------0-----0--0------0----|
   A|--2--2------------2--2------------3--3---------------------------|
   E|--3--3------------3--3-------------------------------------------|
   
   
   Then play this twice:
       Em              D             C             G
   E|-------------------------------------------------------------|
   B|--------0-------------3--------------1-------------3---------|
   G|----------0---0---2-----2---0----------0---0-------0--0---0--|
   D|--2---------2-----0-0-----0-----2--2-----2--------------0----|
   A|--2--2--------------------------3--3----------2--2-----------|
   E|--0--0----------------------------------------3--3-----------|
   
   Remember with all these tabs that they don't have to be totally
   accurate. If you hit some extra strings along the way it doesn't
   really matter, it still sounds good.
   
   G                         C9                D
    Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road
   G                               C9                 D
    Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go
   Em            D            C                  G
     So make the best of this test and don't ask why
   Em           D              C                 G
     It's not a question but a lesson learned in time
   
   
   CHORUS:
   -------
   And finally, here's the tab for the chorus:
       Em             G                Em               G
   E|------------------------------------------------------------------
   B|-------0--------------3-----------------0---------------3---------
   G|----------0---0-------0--0---0-------------0---0--------0--0---0--
   D|--2---------2--------------0------2----------2---------------0----
   A|--2--2-----------2--3-------------2--2-------------2--2-----------
   E|--0--0-----------3--3-------------0--0-------------3--3-----------
   
      Em              D              G
   E------------------------------------------------|
   B-------0---------------2---------3--3-3--3-3-3--|
   G----------0---0---2------3---0---0--0-0--0-0-0--| ...and then just
   D--2---------2-----0--0-----0-----0--0-0--0-0-0--| start strumming
   A--2--2---------------------------2--2-2--2-2-2--| the chords.
   E--0--0---------------------------3--3-3--3-3-3--|
   
   
        Em             G            Em            G
   It's something unpredictable but in the end is right
     Em               D            G     C9  D    G    C9  D
   I hope you had the time of your life
                                   |
                              Start strumming here
                   
   Now strum the next verse and chorus but remember to mute the
   high E string.
   
   
   VERSE 2: [strum chords, mute high e string]
   --------
   G                            C9                   D
    So take the photographs and still frames in your mind
   G                        C9                   D
    Hang them on a shelf in good health and good time
   Em           D            C            G
     Tattoos of memories and dead skin on trial
   Em              D            C             G
     For what it's worth it was worth all the while
   
   
   CHORUS:
   -------
        Em             G
   It's something unpredictable
       Em            G
   But in the end is right
     Em               D            G     C9  D    G    C9   D
   I hope you had the time of your life
                      |
                Start strumming full chords here, don't mute
                the high e string anymore.

    the first part of the song.]
