American Idiot (2004
Whatsername
Tabbed By Donkey Fly
I have been working on this tab since late november when i first heard the song.....it should
be perfect , i figured out that the speed is exactly 120 beats...enjoy it....the number a chord
indicates the fret number you play it on.....experienced guitarist should know these chords
(They are power chords)
this is my first tab
All guitars in drop D tuning
Speed: 120
Time:
4/4
Words By Billie Joe......Music By Green Day

lyrics
Thought I ran into you down on the street,
Then it turned out to only be a dream,
I made a point to burn all of the photographs,
She went away and then I took a different path,
I remember the face,
But I can't recall the name,
Now I wonder how whatsername has been
Seems that she disappeared without a trace,
Did she every marry old what's his face,
I made a point to burn all of the photographs,
She went away and then I took a different path,
I remember the face,
But I can't recall the name,
Now I wonder how whatsername has been
Remember, whatever,
It seems like forever ago,
Remember, whatever,
It seems like forever ago,
The regrets are useless,
In my mind,
She's in my head,
I must confess,
The regrets are useless,
In my mind,
She's in my head,
From so long ago
And in the darkest night,
If my memory serves me right,
I'll never turn back time
Forgetting you, but not the time
If you don't know the chords he is the chord diagrams for you to play em!
(THIS IS HOW I PLAY THEM- AND IT SOUNDS PERFECT)
(You can play them with palm muted strings or if you are accurate without-X=PALM MUTE)
