Time of your Life - Green Day


Okay, I saw the other file, made a few changes so it’d be perfect.  The way the
other guy had it was a little off, but sounded fine if you played it on your own.
But played along with the video it was wrong. So, here’s the fix. I just fixed all
his little oopses.  But, thanks go out to David Hill, the author of the original tab.
I couldn’t have figured this out without his tab first. E-mail me if you have any
questions, comments, or wads of money for me.

Chords:

Tab 1 & Intro

Verse: (play each line twice, then go to chorus)

   G                              C9             Dsus4
   |-------3--------------3--------------3------------3--------|    then it repeats, so it almost
   |----------3-------------3--------------3------------3------|    sounds like it goes C9, Dsus4,
   |-------------0------------0--------------0-----2------2----|    Gmodal. So, after the end of the
   |---0--------------0--------------2-----------0-------------|  Dsus4 bit, go straight to the G
   |------------------------------3----------------------------|  bass note.
   |-3--------------3------------------------------------------|


    Em            Dsus4           C9                G
   |------3------------3-------------3------------3-----------------|   The above line gets played
   |--------3------------3-------------3------------3---------------|     twice, then this twice, and that’s
   |----------0-----2------2-------------0------------0-------------|     the verse.  Then the line after
   |---2----------0---------------2------------0--------------------|     that is the chorus.  Not that
   |----------------------------3-----------------------------------|   complex, but this IS Green Day,
   |-0---------------------------------------3----------------------|   after all.

    Em            G            Em              G
   |------3------------3------------3-----------3------------|
   |--------3------------3------------3-----------3----------|
   |----------0------------0------------0-----------0--------|
   |---2------------0------------2-----------0---------------|
   |---------------------------------------------------------|
   |-0------------3------------0-----------3-----------------|

    Em             Dsus4
   |------3---------3------|  Okay, now, it’s important that you go straight back into the
   |--------3---------3----|  opening G of the verse, because the Dsus4 sort of leaves you
   |----------0---------2--|  hanging there.  Then play the first half of the verse once
   |---2----------0--------|  through, then start it all over again.

Lyrics

Verse 1:

G	C9		Dsus4		  G
Another turning point a fork stuck in the road
G              C9	    Dsus4	         G
Time grabs you by the wrist directs you where to go
Em          Dsus4		   C9	     G
So make the best of these days and don’t ask why
Em	   Dsus4	  C9                G
It’s not a question but a lesson learned in time

Chorus
Em                  G        Em              G
It’s something unpredictable in the end it’s right
Em                  Dsus4        G (where verse riff cuts back in)
I hope you have the time of your life.  (Start struming G  C  Dsus4)

Verse 2:
G	    C9              Dsus4               G
So take the photographs and stillframes in your mind
G            C9        Dsus4              G
Hang it on a shelf; it could’ve been good times (couldn’t get this line, fix it if you know it)

Em         Dsus4	C9	  G
Tatoos and memories and asking on trial
Em	      Dsus4        C9            G
For what it’s worth it was worth all the while


Chorus

Instrumental(Strum over Violins)

End with Tab 1 and then |---------|

                        |----0----|
                        |------0--|  and end on a G
