  My Generation

  as covered by Green Day

  

  This starts in the key of F# minor, and I've got as much information here as

  possible. The only thing missing is that darn bass solo in the solo breaks.

  

  F# E F# E x2

  

  begin Verse:

  F# (stop)                  F#                     E    

  Well, people try to put us down. (Talkin' bout my generation.)

  

  F# (stop)                   F#              E

  Just because we get around. (Talkin' bout my generation.)

  

  F# (stop)                     F#                     E

  The things they do look awful cold. (Talkin' bout my generation.)

  

  F# (stop)                       F#              E

  I hope I die before I get old. (Talkin' bout my generation.)

  

  F# E F# E x2

  My generation.

  

  Verse 2 (same chords):

  

  Why don't you all just fade away? (Talkin' bout my generation.)

  And don't try to dig what we all say. (Talkin' bout my generation.)

  I'm not trying to cause a big sensation. (Talkin' bout my generation.)

  I'm just talkin' bout my generation. (Talkin' bout my generation.)

  

  Chorus

  

  Bridge:

  

  F# E F# E F# (stop)

  Guitar:

  

  E: |-----------------------------|

  B: |----7-7----7-7---------------|

  G: |-/6-----/6-----4-4h6p4-------|

  D: |-----------------------4-7~~-|

  A: |-----------------------------|

  E: |-----------------------------|

  

  F# E F# E F# (stop)

  Bass solo...

  

  F# E F# E F# (stop)

  Drum solo

  

  F# E F# E F# (stop)

  *crash* Man, you can fuck that shit!

  

  F# E F# E x2

  

  Repeat Verse 2 with key change G#, F#, G# with same lyrics.

  

  Chorus with chords G#, F#, G#.

  

  Then key change to Bb (chords: Bb, G#) over solo:

  

  E: |--------------------------|

  B: |-4------4------4------4---|

  G: |-6b8----6b8----6b8----6b8-|

  then you just use the Bb minor pentatonic scale...Billie goes to fast for

  me to tab out the entire solo, but there are a could main themes, the above

  bend being one, and

  

  E: |-----6-9b-9b-9b-|

  B: |-6-9------------|

  G: |----------------|

  

  being another. The solo however, is only in Bb minor pent. at the 6th fret

  position:

      6th  7   8   9

  E: |-x-|---|---|-x-|

  B: |-x-|---|---|-x-|

  G: |-x-|---|-x-|---|

  D: |-x-|---|-x-|---|

  A: |-x-|---|-x-|---|

  E: |-x-|---|---|-x-|

  

  Just go wild; do a lot of pulling, hammering and bending.

  

  Then end in a glorious haze of feedback and spasticness...or just kinda

  fizzle out like on the record.
