EADGBE EADGBE

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:

B|-------3---------------3---------------3---------------3---------|
G|-------0--0---0--------0--0---0--------0--0---0---2----2--2---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--|

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:

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.
