Subject: CRD: Green Day Song (not Longview)

I think I've got down all the chords to this Green Day song.  Actually,
I don't even know the name of the song, I've just heard it on the radio
and on MTV and thought it was pretty cool.  I'd appreciate it if someone

Verse

okay guys... this is the first song i learnt to play... it's dead easy and
i know it inside out so here is every note! and i hate people who tab it and
tell you which way to strum and stuff cause it just makes it more complicated
to read... you'll find your own way!


VERSE 1 - play once chugged (palm muted) and then play open about one in four!
