Green Day - Private Ale
Submitted By: Chris
EMail: cwsmith@together.net
Album:Kerplunk (1992 Look Out! Records)
Track:5
Guitar:Billie Joe Armstrong
Guitar I (lead)-Clean Electric
Guitar II (rhythm)-Medium Distortion Electric
Key:
\-slide up
/-slide down
Pm-palm mute
()-ghost note
~-let ring
Note:This is a little confusing. The lead Guitar plays
the same thing as the rhythm guitar for the first part
of the verse but after the "just don't know/seem to care"
part, the lead guitar does it's own thing for the verses
which I have included. Just so you're not too messed up...

"1, 2, 3, 4..."
That's it! Pretty simple. Remember that you need two
guitarists for this song.
===========Private Ale - GREEN DAY
Here is yet another Green Day tune off Kerplunk. Cool song, fun to play.
Write me if you
download this. I want to hear from you. If you have any Green Day requests,
I can play just
about everything. Thanks.
INTRO: (8'th notes, muted)
G#-------------------------------------------
VERSE:
G#----------------(muted)--------------------------
I wonder down these streets all by myself
G#----------------(muted)---------------- C#
Think of my future now I just don't know
C# G#
I don't seem to care
G#----------------(muted)----------------------
I stop to notice that I'm by your home
G#----------------(muted)------- C#
I wonder if you're sitting all alone
C# G#
Or is your boyfriend there?
CHORUS:
C# G# Eb
Because I feel so right
C# G# Eb
Let my imagination go
C# G# Eb
Until you're in my sight
C# G# Eb
And through my veins temptation flows
BREAK:
F#--G# F# C# X4
(quick slide)
VERSE 2 (same chords as the first)
So I sit down here on the hard concrete
Think of my future now I just don't know
I don't seem to care .
So I sit across the street from your home
I wonder if you're sitting all alone
Or is your boyfriend there?
CHORUS
