Here is yet another awesome Green Day song from Kerplunk! that was posted in an ftp, but it was missing key parts needed to play the song, so I have added them so you can play the whole song. This is NOT IN STANDARD TUNING!!! If you want to play it right you HAVE TO tune down a half step, because the E is open.(looks best in Courier)
Intro: B B F# G# F# Play that 4x for intro
Verse 1:
B F#
I sit alone in my bedroom
B F#
Staring at the walls
B F#
I've been up all damn night long
B F#
My pulse is speeding, my love is yearning
Chorus:
G# B
I hold my breath and close my eyes ----play-this-twice--------
G# F# ---------------------------
And dream about her... --3\4-4-4--3\4-4-4---------
E F# *===> --3\4-4-4--3\4-4-4---------
Cause she's 2000 light years away --1\2-2-2--1\2-2-2---------
G# B --1\2-2-2--1\2-2-2---------
She holds my malakite so tight so
A F#
Never let go...
E F# B B F# G# F# (4x)
Cause she's 2000 light years away
Verse 2:
B F#
I sit outside and watch the sunrise
B F#
Lookout as far as I can
B F#
I can't see her, but in the distance
B F#
I hear some laughter, we laugh together
Chorus
Solo
Chorus
