Complete Tab of American Idiot (2004) by Green Day Tabbed By Steve Gray (reizig@gmail.com) Completed on 9/19/2004 Boulevard of Broken Dreams no longer sucks. Outro included. *** This is a tab for the entire American Idiot Album, front to back, lyrics included. If you want to post this somewhere, or use parts of it, just keep my name and e-mail on it and you can do whatever you want. I am extremely confident about the accuracy of each tab, and I tried to make each one as easy to understand as possible. But given the structure of some of the songs, that was a little difficult. Just pay close attention to the "Order" section of each tab and you'll be fine. For most of the tabs, the strumming pattern/timing is not included. All tuning is standard (E A D G B E) except for Whatsername, which is in drop D (D A D G B E). Tracks: 1. American Idiot 2. Jesus Of Suburbia I. Jesus of Suburbia II. City of the Damned III. I Don't Care IV. Dearly Beloved V. Tales of Another Broken Home 3. Holiday 4. Boulevard Of Broken Dreams 5. Are We the Waiting 6. St. Jimmy 7. Give Me Novacaine 8. She's A Rebel 9. Extraordinary Girl 10. Letterbomb 11. Wake Me Up When September Ends 12. Homecoming I. The Death of St. Jimmy II. East 12th Street III. Nobody Likes You IV. Rock and Roll Girlfriend V. We're Coming Home Again 13. Whatsername ************************************************************ ------------------------------------------------------------ Track 1: American Idiot ------------------------------------------------------------ Note: The xxx000 in the Main Riff/Verse is often overlooked. Listen to the song carefully; it often replaces the final F#5. As far as I've seen, though, they don't bother with it while playing live, so you can just play an F#5 instead.
