Green Day - American Idiot EP
Standard tuning
Bassist - Mike Dirnt
Tabbed By - Frostythebassist
{Update-3/25/05, Sorry people but i realized that when i wrote this tab, i still had my bass tuned down a half step, so u can play it with
everything in Eb, Ab, Db, and Gb, or u can play, foe example, instead of 88,88,88,88,66,66,66,66, u can just play
77,77,77,77,55,55,55,55, in standard tuning. i might just change the whole thing when i have time on my hands, sorry... :)
{Update-3/17/05, I would like to say that on the bridge, thats not the 1st fret and 2nd fret, its the 12th fret. Also, I put in a little bass fill
that I think Mike does at the end of the bridge ( that is the 10th fret, not the 1st fret and an open sting}
/ = slide up
, = one beat
(wait for 4 measures then come in on the and or four)
