Time of your Life - Green Day
Okay, I saw the other file, made a few changes so it'd be perfect. The way the
other guy had it was a little off, but sounded fine if you played it on your own.
But played along with the video it was wrong. So, here's the fix. I just fixed all
his little oopses. But, thanks go out to David Hill, the author of the original tab.
I couldn't have figured this out without his tab first. E-mail me if you have any
questions, comments, or wads of money for me.

Tab 1 & Intro
Verse: (play each line twice, then go to chorus)
[G] [C9] [Dsus4]
|-------3--------------3--------------3------------3------| then it repeats, so it almost |----------3-------------3--------------3------------3----| sounds like it goes C9, Dsus4, |-------------0------------0--------------0-----2------2--| Gmodal. So, after the end of the |---0--------------0--------------2-----------0-----------| Dsus4 bit, go straight to the G |------------------------------3--------------------------| bass note. |-3--------------3----------------------------------------|
[Em] [Dsus4] [C9] [G]
|------3------------3-------------3------------3----------| The above line gets played |--------3------------3-------------3------------3--------| twice, then this twice, and that's |----------0-----2------2-------------0------------0------| the verse. Then the line after |---2----------0---------------2------------0-------------| that is the chorus. Not that |----------------------------3----------------------------| complex, but this IS Green Day, |-0---------------------------------------3---------------| after all.
( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/g/green_day/good_riddance_time_of_your_life_crd_ver_3.html )
[Em] [G] [Em] [G]
|------3------------3------------3-----------3------------| |--------3------------3------------3-----------3----------| |----------0------------0------------0-----------0--------| |---2------------0------------2-----------0---------------| |---------------------------------------------------------| |-0------------3------------0-----------3-----------------|
[Em] [Dsus4]
|------3---------3------| Okay, now, it's important that you go straight back into the |--------3---------3----| opening G of the verse, because the Dsus4 sort of leaves you |----------0---------2--| hanging there. Then play the first half of the verse once |---2----------0--------| through, then start it all over again. |-----------------------| |-0---------------------|
Lyrics
Verse 1:
[G]Another [C9]turning point a [Dsus4]fork stuck in the [G]road
[G]Time grabs you [C9]by the wrist [Dsus4]directs you where to [G]go
[Em]So make the [Dsus4]best of these days and [C9]don't ask [G]why
[Em]It's not a [Dsus4]question but a [C9]lesson learned in [G]time
Chorus
[Em]It's something unpre[G]dictable [Em]in the end it's [G]right
Em Dsus4 G (where verse riff cuts back in)
I hope you have the time of your life. (Start struming G C Dsus4)
Verse 2:
[G]So take the [C9]photographs and [Dsus4]stillframes in your [G]mind
[G]Hang it on a [C9]shelf; it [Dsus4]could've been good [G]times (couldn't get this line, fix it if you know it)
[Em]Tatoos and [Dsus4]memories and [C9]asking on [G]trial
[Em]For what it's [Dsus4]worth it was [C9]worth all the [G]while
Chorus
Instrumental(Strum over Violins)
Chorus
End with Tab 1 and then |---------| |---------| |--2------| |----0----| |------0--| and end on a G |---------|
