--== Jesus of Suburbia ==-Notes:

This song is complicated yet simple; the chord structure is
characteristically Green Day in that there are very few chords played in
different patterns for the verse, pre-chorus, chorus, etc. Where it differs
from their other songs, however, is its dramatic shifts in style and tone
throughout. Incidentally, the song is nearly 10 minutes long, comparable in
length to rock operas like "Stairway to Heaven" and "Bohemian Rhapsody."
To date, this is Green Day's only rock opera (with the possible exception
of
"Homecoming," another track on this album).
Consequently, I've broken it down into component parts, each part denoting
a
shift in style or tone; these are denoted by "PART" and then a roman
numeral
designating the part of the song.

NOTES: This song makes use of a particular riff, introduced at the

beginning. This
pattern is played over the chords being strummed in the background. So,
when the
rhythm guitar strums the "A" chord, the lead guitar plays this riff over A,
when
the background guitar plays "D", the pattern stays the same, but is then
played
over "D". This pattern occurs consistently throughout the song. I'll tab
out the
pattern over each chord once; after that, I'll assume the reader knows the
pattern
and is playing it over the transcribed chords :)

--== Homecoming ==--
NOTE: Sorry about listing all of these chords here, but this song is like 9
minutes
long and certain parts of use different forms of the same chords.
Technically,
you could ignore these and just play power chords, which would be a good
enough
approximation. I'm simply including these for individuals who want to know
the precise
chords (or rather, as precise as I can figure them)

--== Whatsername ==--
Notes: Guitar is "Drop D" tuned. Sounds a bit like two songs put together:
"One Headlight" by the Wallflowers, with the chorus of "Surrender" by Cheap
Trick
as a bridge. But, whatever. I smoke a lot of crack.

Well, that's the complete album. I hope it helps those of you who like
Green Day enough to emulate them via your guitar. Special thanks go out
to Mike Fireball & Brian Grey for getting me the cd, greendayauthority.com
for most of the lyrics and to reizig for the parts of "Letterbomb" I
borrowed
from his tab. And of course, Green Day!
