---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Knowledge - Green Day (Operation Ivy) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Mike Cassidy Email: rageandlove04@yahoo.com Tuning: EADGBe (live it's played ½ step down) Pretty simple 3 chord rocker, just listen to the song for the strumming pattern, I'm too lazy to tab it out. Solo's a basic D blues scale type thing, I know it's not 100% accurate, I havn't really listened to the song closely. I've tabbed out the basic bass line as well, but I'm not a bass player, so that's pretty rough too. Feel free to email comments/corrections/tab requests/etc to me. Enjoy!
