Green Day Nuclear Family This is my first tab, so sorry if it's not up to scratch! Leave a comment if you think any of it needs improvement or is just plain wrong. Tempo: 175 (ish) Intro e|----------------------------------| B|----------------------------------| This bit is slightly less distorted G|-9---9-999---9-999---9-9-9--------| and this isn't the exact strumming D|-9---9-999---9-999---9-9-9--------| pattern of this particular bit, but A|-7---7-777---7-777---7-7-7--------| you can figure it out by listening E|----------------------------------| to the song e|---------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------------------| G|-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9------------------9-9-9--------| D|-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-7---7-7-7---7-7--9-9-9-9--99--| X2 A|-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7---7-7-7---7-7--7-7-7-9--99--| E|---------------------------------5---5-5-5---5-5--------7--77--| On the second time, another guitar plays this riff: e|---------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------------------| G|-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-8---8---4--------------------9-9-9--------| D|-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x---x---x---7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7--9-9-9-9--99--| A|-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-6---6---2---7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7--7-7-7-9--99--| E|---------------------------------5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5--------7--77--| Verse 1, 2 and 3 (Guitar Rest, Drum and Bass Fill) e|---------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------------------| G|-9------------------------------------------------9-9-9--------| X4 D|-9-------------------------------7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7--9-9-9-9------| A|-7-------------------------------7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7--7-7-7-9------| E|---------------------------------5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5--------7------| Chorus 1, 2 and 3 It's easy to figure out the strumming pattern of the chorus, just listen to the song. It sounds a bit like a section of the verse from "Welcome to Paradise" e|---------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------------------| G|----------9----------------------------------------------------| D|-7--------9-(x16)--7--------9----------------------------------| A|-7-(x32)--7--------7-(x32)--9-(x16)----------------------------| E|-5-----------------5--------7----------------------------------| After second chorus play the verse riff twice, it's the Bass solo!

A|----------------|----------------| E|----------------|----------------| NOTE 3RD VERSE: I think there a second guitar playing a fill with perhaps a harmonic pedal, I'm not sure. If anyone does know just say so in the comments, it's a pretty cool effect in my opinion. Outro: Rhythm plays e|----------------| If you wanted to, you could add |--------| B|----------------| in these chords now and then. |-9---10-| G|-9--------------| |-9----9-| D|-9-(X64)--------| |-9----9-| A|-7--------------| |-7----7-| E|----------------| |--------| While lead plays e|--------------------------------| B|--------------------------------| G|-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-8---8---4--| X5 D|-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x---x---x--| A|-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-6---6---2--| E|--------------------------------| And then just: e|-----| |-----| B|-----| A bend on the G string twice every bar |-----| G|-2b--| and just finish up with: |-9---| D|-----| |-9---| A|-----| |-7---| E|-----| |-----| And thats it!!!! Pretty simple, but catchy as hell!
