Song: Are We The Waiting
Album: American Idiot
Artist: Green Day
Drummer: Tré Cool
Tempo: 112 BPM
Tabbed by Chromana

Notes:
The same rhythm is kept throughout with only the cymbals missing from the Intro.
This song is good for beginners and the introduction to syncopation (off-beat playing).
I have seen many tabs of this song that are simply wrong, even with the wrong number of beats per bar! This aims to be the perfect tabulation.
