Title: Longview
Artist: Green Day
Album: Dookie (1994)
Tuning: Standard EADGBE

at the end of the verse at the drum roll, the guitar kicks in playing C#5.

then the chorus is A#5 G#5 and some sort of weird variation of D#5. what

i have here for D#5 is only a guess.

 

C#5 A#5 G#5 D#(5)

-----|----------------------------------------6---6--6

-----|----------------------------------------8---8--8

--6--|----------------------------------------8---8--8

--6--|--8r----8r----8r-----8r----6r----6r-----8---8--8

--4--|--8r----8r----8r-----8r----6r----6r-----6---6--6

-----|--6--6--6--6--6--6--6--6--4--4--4--4---0---0--0

 

the chorus ends like this:

 

A#5 G#5

D#5

---------------------------------------------------------

---------------------------------------------------------

-----------------------------------------------------8\--

--8r----8r----8r-----8r----6r----6r-----6r----6r-----8\--

--8r----8r----8r-----8r----6r----6r-----6r----6r-----6\--

--6--6--6--6--6--6--6--6--4--4--4--4--4--4--4--4-------

 

the bridge is D#5 C#5 and then it goes back into the chorus riff for the

interlude.

 

the outro is this:

 

------------------------------11-

--8--9--6-----------8--9--11----

-----------10--------------------

By the way the bass goes like this:

-|-6----------4------6---6----------------|-

-|-----6h8-----------8-6(h8)-----6h8---8---------8-6h8-|-

-|-6-------------------------6-------------------------|-

I didn't bother gettin the chorus, it's pretty easy though; just a variation

of the guitar.

You won't BELIEVE how long it took me to figure out that damn baseline on

this regular guitar :) but it's here now... all of it except for those high

parts he plays at the end i've only partially figured those out.

"Longview" by Greenday

TAB by Chris Peressotti

 

First thing before i give the TAB, you must know the way the power chords

are played in this song. The chords that you should play in this way i'll

just make a "+" sign after them.

 

A+ G+ D+

 

G ------------- G ------------- G --7--5--7--5-

D --7--5--7--5- D --5--3--5--3- D --7--5--7--5-

A --7--5--7--5- A --5--3--5--3- A --5--5--5--5-

E --5--5--5--5- E --3--3--3--3- E -------------

 

Other chords in this song.

 

D C

 

G -7- G -5-

D -7- D -5-

A -5- A -3-

E --- E ---

 

This is the first bassline, it's usually played while Billy Joe sings.

 

D --------------------------------------------------- L

G ----7-----------------------7----------10-9-7------ O

A ------10-9------10-9---7------10-9*-----------10-9- O

E -10--------10-8------8---10---------10------------- P

 

When moving into the chorus, right after playing the note which i've put a

star after (9th fret on the A string) play the C chord for 4 beats, then

move into the chorus:

 

A+ A+ G+ D+ A+ A+ G+ D+ A+ A+ G+ D+ A+ A+

Followed by strumming a regular G chord once.

 

Then play the second bassline, usually played twice before going into the

first bassline.

 

D ----7--------7--------------- L

G ---------7-9---9-10-9-7------ O

A ------------------------10-9- O

E -10---10--------------------- P

 

At the chorus when they start to sing "Where is the motivation..." after

playing the chorus chords play

 

D C D C D C D C (Re-play chorus chords, they will start around when Billy

Joe sings the word "inspiration")

 

As for the end where while the bassline is being played there are some high

notes being played, all i can figure out is what note it matches on the

HIGH e string:

 

e -2-3-3-0---2-3-5-10- (LOOP)
