GreenDayJunkie86 Posted 19 hours ago Share Posted 19 hours ago Yeah just tested it on my acoustic guitar and it's right. Like @Hammie Stein said, those are open chords. If you are wondering about how billie joe plays it, it is: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tuning: Eb (Eb,Ab,Db,Gb,Bb,eb) Key: E /=slide (Palm mute) E B C#, G# A E B Do you have the time to listen to me whine about nothing and everything all at once? (repeat through verses) A B E A B E Sometimes I give myself the creeps, sometimes my mind plays tricks on me A B (strum normal) E D C# It all keeps adding up I think I'm cracking up A B E B C# B Am I just paranoid, or am I just stoned? (then just repeat throughout the song) The outro goes a little something like this: E, C#, A, E, B x4 On the final repetition, play single notes A E B / A E B Low E should be played where it is bolded: Outro: E, C#, A, E, B x4 and A E B / A E B. Low E is strings A and D on the second fret. Make sure to mute all of the other strings so it doesn't sound like E minor. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you already know how to play this and I just typed all of this for no reason.................. oh well ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
