LETTERBOMB
off of american idiot
by greenday
note-well ive finally seen it live, and this is how it goes, guitar 1 is billie joe,
guitar 2 is jason white
this is perfect, cause, like my jesus of suburbia tab, i checked it over with the book.
the little "....." are what im using to show palm muting
nobody likes you, everyone left you, their all out without you-having fun (thats when you
plug your guitar in and move your fingers around and pick slide a tad...)
Intro, (no guitar 2 first time through)
