An utter classic by Green Day in the early years (which is much better than 
their american idiot crap), easy to play too.


Tuning: although it can be played in standard, it's best to
	tune down 1/2 step

() - represents less dominant notes
pm - palm mute
x - scratched/not played

chord reference:
Bb- x244xx
G-  466xxx
F-  244xxx
Eb- 022xxx
* the rhythm is just Bb to G to F
