Author/Artist: Green Day Title: Give Me Novacaine Album: American Idiot Email: crazymopoke@hotmail.com By: Asheroth Tuning: Standard (E,A,D,G,b,e) (Low to High) The current Give Me Novacaine tabs are mostly correct note-wise, but they don't seem to give the sound of the chords in the recording. Here you are: Note: The second chord in the verse is some weird inversion of F#m, at least, it's got all the right notes in it. My chord theory's not the best.
