Greenday Little Girl 21st Century Breakdown 2009 Reprise Records Submitted by: thecrazycuban23 *Disclaimer this is my first tab addition to the website. It is my version for guitar, it works great but is not what is used in the original. They use Capo on 1st with these exact chords. Feel free to do that if you want. Tuning: Standard EADGBe Chords used: Em - 022000 C - 032010 B - 224442 G - 320033 Intro: Em (022000@1) B (x2444x@1) Eme|-----------------|----------------|-------|------------| (022000@1)B|-----------------|----------------|-------|------------| G|----0-4--2--0----|---0-4--2--0----|---0-2-|--4-2-0-----| D|-2-2----------2--|--2----------4--|--4----|--------4-2-| A|-----------------|----------------|-------|------------| E|-----------------|----------------|-------|------------| *For the first verse I fingerpick (as shown) because it leads from the intro easier, but you can strum as well. Do quick, short, downward strums and stops. You can listen to the song for the right rhythm.
