band : greenday american idiot (album) tabbed by : guitar41 tabbed : 6th november 2004 Final Version: I'm pretty sure I'm done with this. I finally fixed the solo to Wake Me Up When September Ends, and I added all the correct lyrics. There are probably some errors left, so feel free to correct them and post them yourself. Happy tabbing, everyone. *** This is a tab for the entire American Idiot Album, front to back, lyrics included. If you want to post this somewhere, or use parts of it, just keep my name and e-mail on it and you can do whatever you want. I am extremely confident about the accuracy of each tab, and I tried to make each one as easy to understand as possible. But given the structure of some of the songs, that was a little difficult. Just pay close attention to the "Order" section of each tab and you'll be fine. For most of the tabs, the strumming pattern/timing is not included. All tuning is standard (E A D G B E) except for Whatsername, which is in drop D (D A D G B E). Tracks: 1. American Idiot 2. Jesus Of Suburbia I. Jesus of Suburbia II. City of the ***ed III. I Don't Care IV. Dearly Beloved V. Tales of Another Broken Home 3. Holiday 4. Boulevard Of Broken Dreams 5. Are We the Waiting 6. St. Jimmy 7. Give Me Novacaine 8. She's A Rebel 9.

Whatsername ************************************************************ ------------------------------------------------------------ Track 1: American Idiot ------------------------------------------------------------ Note: The xxx000 in the Main Riff/Verse is often overlooked. Listen to the song carefully; it often replaces the final F#5. As far as I've seen, though, they don't bother with it while playing live, so you can just play an F#5 instead.
