CHORDS: ------- EADGBE EADGBE G (320033) Em (022000) C9 (x32033) C (x32010) D (xx0232) Dsus4 (xx0233) Good acoustic song from Green Day. For most of the song you don't play the high E string at all. Just mute it with your pinky. So the chords for the first 2 verses and first 2 choruses are more like this: G (32003x) C9 (x3203x) D (xx023x) Em (02200x) C (x3201x) Then at the end of the second chorus he starts strumming the whole chords.

If you hit some extra strings along the way it doesn't really matter, it still sounds good. G C9 D Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road G C9 D Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go Em D C G So make the best of this test and don't ask why Em D C G It's not a question but a lesson learned in time CHORUS: ------- And finally, here's the tab for the chorus: Em G Em G E|------------------------------------------------------------------ B|-------0--------------3-----------------0---------------3--------- G|----------0---0-------0--0---0-------------0---0--------0--0---0-- D|--2---------2--------------0------2----------2---------------0---- A|--2--2-----------2--3-------------2--2-------------2--2----------- E|--0--0-----------3--3-------------0--0-------------3--3----------- Em D G E------------------------------------------------| B-------0---------------2---------3--3-3--3-3-3--| G----------0---0---2------3---0---0--0-0--0-0-0--| ...and then just D--2---------2-----0--0-----0-----0--0-0--0-0-0--| start strumming A--2--2---------------------------2--2-2--2-2-2--| the chords.

VERSE 2: [strum chords, mute high e string] -------- G C9 D So take the photographs and still frames in your mind G C9 D Hang them on a shelf in good health and good time Em D C G Tattoos of memories and dead skin on trial Em D C G For what it's worth it was worth all the while CHORUS: ------- Em G It's something unpredictable Em G But in the end is right Em D G C9 D G C9 D I hope you had the time of your life | Start strumming full chords here, don't mute the high e string anymore.
