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 who has the album could finish up the rest and fill in the lyrics!

(I think there's a bridge part too that uses the chords in this last line of the chorus) From alt.guitar.tab Tue Aug 2 19:55:48 1994 From: cunningh@gusun.acc.georgetown.edu (Tom Cunningham) Date: 2 Aug 94 10:18:29 -0500 Newsgroups: alt.guitar.tab,rec.music.makers.guitar.tablature Subject: Re: CRD: Green Day Song (not Longview) Ed Cheng (ascheng@netcom.com) wrote: : I think I've got down all the chords to this Green Day song.

I hope this hasn't already been posted or placed at nevada. : --------------- : ''', by Green Day : EADGBe : E: x79997 : B: 799877 : C#m: x46654 : G#: 466544 : A: 577655 : Verse: : E B : Do you have the time NO!!! You have to tune a half step down to play it like this. The chords should all be a half step down from what is listed in the crd. The last line in the chorus is "I'm just stoned". However, I'm very unsure of what is posted for the "I think I'm cracking up" line. My band plays it like Eb F G <--- All Power chords I think I'm cracking up however, I know this doesn't sound right. Anyone have any other suggestions' Here's the outro to Basketcase: Eb Ab Eb C Ab C Ab Eb Bb <---- All power chords You can also play it like this if the above is too fast for you: Eb C Ab Eb Bb Tom -Someone posted this song before I could, but there seems to be some contreversy about it. I hope this settles it! This is from Green Day's album DOOKIE BASKET_CASE VERSE:
EbDo you have the Bbtime, Cto listen to me Gwhine G#About nothing and Ebeverything all at Bbonce EbI am one of Bbthose, Cmellodramatic Gfools G#Neurotic to the bone Ebno doubt about Bbit.
CHORUS:
G#Sometimes I Bbgive myself the Ebcreeps G#Sometimes my Bbmind plays tricks on Ebme G#It all keeps Bbadding up, EbI think C#I'm cracking Cup G#Am I just Bbparanoid' I'm just Ebstoned.
Bridge': Eb Bb C Bb Eb Bb C Bb Verse: I went to a shrink to analyze my dreams She says it's lack of sex that's bringing me down I went to a whore, she said my life's a bore And quit my whining cause it's bringing her down. _____________________________________________________________________________ I think the chorus is screwed up, but you'll have to forgive me, it's from memory..

outro Esus4 Esus4/C# A E B x4 the guitar player pedals on a E to Esus4 figure while the bass player goes thru the E-C#-A-E-B changes. for A satisfying armchair axe-warrior experience you might try... x7999x E x79910x Esus4 9x999x E/C# 9x9910x Esus4/C# the band either tunes down to Eb or tunes to D and then speeds up the tape to make it more awesome. Dookie seems to be somewhere around Eb when you play it. so while you can't play along with the record with this fingering, this is probably the way they finger it. the finale is...
