JAR - Green Day

By: John K.

Yes, these are guitar tabs, but why not play the opening bass line?

     ~ = ring				SNARE
G|-----6~~~~~6~~~~~6~~~~~6~~~~~~6~~~~~6~~~~~6-|
D|-4-4--------------------6-4-6---------------|	Then the guitar comes in...
A|-------4-4----------------------4-4---------|
E|-------------4-4---6-6----------------4-4---|
						
And these are the power chords we shall use:
   	B  	C#     	F#    	G#	C#minor	       G#minor
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|------4-------6--------------------------4-------------13------------------|
D|------4-------6-------4-------6----------x-------------xx------------------|
A|------2-------4-------4-------6----------2-------------11------------------|
E|----------------------2-------4--------------------------------------------|

*Listen for picking. It’s the best way.

INTRO:
C#-G#	x1
F#...G#...F#...C#.G#.  x2

VERSE:
F#		      G#
My friend drove off the other day,
F#		   C#
And now he’s gone and all they say,
F#		     G#			F#...C#.G#.
Is you gotta live cuz life goes on...
F#	     G#
But now I see I’m mortal too,
F#          C#	     G#
And I can’t live my life like you,
F#	       G#			F#...C#.G#.
Gotta live it up while life goes on...

CHORUS:
F#
And I think that it’s all right,
C#
That I do what I like,
G#				 F#.C#..
Cuz that’s the way I wanna live.
	     G#
And so I give, And I’m still givin’...

BRIDGE:
F# C# G# C# x2
C#-G#

VERSE:
F#			G#
And now I wonder ’bout my friend,
F#		C#	G#
If he gave all he could give,
F#		     G#		    F#	C#.G#     
Cuz he lived his life like I live mine.
F#		G#
If you could see inside my head,
F#      C#      G#
Then you’d start to understand,
F#		G#	 F#	C#.G#.
The things I value in my heart.

CHORUS:
F#
And I think that it’s all right,
C#
That I do what I like,
G#				F#.C#..
Cuz that’s the way I wanna live.
     	     G#
And so I give, And I’m still givin’...

BRIDGE:
F# C# G# C#  x4

(palm mute)
B     F#
You know that,
C#   G#
I know that,
B	 F#      G#  	C#-G#
You’re watchin’ me...

SOLO:
(Note: chord picking/strumming not shown)
(There are lots of neat ways to just improvise on this too)
*?*I think he throws either of these () in there in place of one less strum occasionally
(If that made sense)

Gotta make a plan,	x1
Gotta do what’s right,

Can’t run around in circles,	x1
If you wanna build a life,

But I don’t wanna make a plan,  x1
For a day far away,

While I’m young and while I’m able,
All I wanna do is...

pick the last 5 notes pretty fast and get about a half step bend on the last
one. Any questions, comments, or corrections just e-mail me.
