This is Green day's cover of John Lennon's original track. and i have to say, Green day

Anyway, here it is, have fun =]

Chorus 5 : Same as Chorus 5.


Outro :


*The outro is from Lennon's original track so there are some minor differences. It's a 
step down from Green day's cover which means it's standard tuning but without a capo.
