Author/Artist: Green Day Title: Give Me Novacaine Album: American Idiot Email: john1645@msu.edu By: Alpha-Q Tuning: Standard (E,A,D,G,b,e) (Low to High) Note: I like to play this song with a capo over the 2nd fret. Makes it really easy. I don't know how to tab songs with a capo so I'll just write out the part as if no capo was on the guitar so you can play it with out one. Verse's (play all up and down strokes, there is another guitar that pulsates this) |---5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5--2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2--2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-----------------------| |---5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5--2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2--3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3--9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9------| |---6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6--2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2--4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4--9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9------| |---7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7--4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4--4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4--9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9------| |---7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7--4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4--2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2--7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7------| |---5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5--2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-(2~)-----------------------------------| Prechorus distortion |-----------------------------------------|---------------------------------------| |-----------------------------------------|---------------------------------------| |----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-|-7-7-7-7-7--------7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7--| |----5-5-5-5-5--------7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-|-5-5-5-5-5--------7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7--| |---------------------5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-|------------------5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5--| Chorus |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| |---7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-------------------------------------------9-9-9-9-9----| |---7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7--4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4--9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9----| |---5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5--4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4--9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-7-7-7-7-7----| |------------------------2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2--7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7--------------| melody part, with some hawaiian guitar (sitar?) sounding effect. |-------------------------------------------------------------------| |--5-/-14~-------10--7~---------7-/-15~-------12-/-9~---------------| |-------------------------------------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------------------------------------| Solo (something like this) |---------------------------------------|---------------------------| |---------------------------------------|---------------------------| |---------------------------------------|---------------------------| |--xxxxxxx--7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-|-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7---| |--xxxxxxx--7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-|-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7---| |--xxxxxxx--5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-|-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5---| |------------------------------------------------------------| |---------------9-10-10-9-----------------14-----------------| |----------11-------------11-----14--14------14--------------| |----11-11----11-------------------14----------14------------| |-/9-------------------------/12--------12---------12-12-----|x3 |------------------------------------------------------------| |--------10----10-----------------------------------------------------| |----12-----12----121212----------9-9-9-9--10101010-1212121212121212--| |--11--11---------111111----------9-9-9-9--9-9-9-9--9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9---| |-9-------------------------------------------------------------------| |---------------------------------------------------------------------| |---------------------------------------------------------------------| Chords Played under Solo: |----------------------| |----------------------| |------------------9---| |-4-7--4-7-4-7--9--9---| |-4-7--4-7-4-7--9--7---| |-2-5--2-5-2-5--7-(0)--| After the solo, they go back to the pre-chorus, but the other guitar plays this one time with the other guitar. |----------------| |-7-7-8-8-10-----| |-7-7-7-7-7------| |-7-7-7-7-7------| |----------------| |----------------| The rest is already Tabbed.
