green day

warning

tabbed by bazz, member of the bass tab archive tabbing army

i've seen quite a few crap attemps at this song, so i thought

i'd do it myself, it's probebly still wrong but sounds great,

and to be extra nice, i even tabbed the bass solo i play in

the interlude, which was nice of me wasn't it.

guitar intro

bass comes in at the second verse

G:-------------------------------------------------------------------------/

D:----------------------4----------------------22-22--4-44--4-44-then back-/

D:--22--2-22--2-22--2-22--2-44--4-44-4-44-4--/

now go back to main verse and play twice

now play the pre chorus utill the :

play this right after the bass fill

cont... 2nd time end

G:---------------------------------6-8-6--/
D:---------------------------4-6/8--------/
A:---2-4-2-4/6-4-2-4---4-4/6--------------/
E:-0-----------------2--------------------/

cont... (2nd time)

G:-------------------------------4-6-4--/
D:-------------4-6-4---------4-6--------/
A:---2-4-2-4/6---------2-4/6------------/
E:-0-----------------2------------------/

right after you've played the solo once go right into the bass fill

then go into the solo again

no play the bass fill again then play the pre chorus all the way through

then play the chorus three times then the bass fill twice and end on a B

i know the chorus is wrong as i haven't the time to get it right so i prefer

to use mine, if you want the real one, work it out yourself

well i think my work is done, have fun
