OK, here's what I think is one of the best songs Green Day does. It’s
pretty close to how they play it, but you might want to listen to the
song while you try it out.
Tune high E down to B string’s 3rd fret

VERSE II:
So take the photographs and still frames in your mind
Hang them on a shelf in good health and good time
Tattoos of memories and dead skin on trial
For what it’s worth it was worth all the while
It’s something unpredictable
But in the end is right
I hope you had the time of your life
Let me know what you think, e-mail me for any problems, questions, or changes
