Private Ale Green Day
Green Day - Private Ale
Submitted By: Chris
EMail: cwsmith@together.net
Album:Kerplunk (1992 Look Out! Records)
Track:5
Guitar:Billie Joe Armstrong
Guitar I (lead)-Clean Electric
Guitar II (rhythm)-Medium Distortion Electric
Key:
\-slide up
/-slide down
Pm-palm mute
()-ghost note
~-let ring
Note:This is a little confusing. The lead Guitar plays
the same thing as the rhythm guitar for the first part
of the verse but after the "just don't know/seem to care"
part, the lead guitar does it's own thing for the verses
which I have included. Just so you're not too messed up...

That's it! Pretty simple. Remember that you need two
guitarists for this song.

[C#]Or is your boyfriend there?[G#]
CHORUS:
Because I feel s[C#]o ri[G#]ght[Eb]
Let my imag[C#]inatio[G#]n go[Eb]

VERSE 2 (same chords as the first)

I wonder if you're sitting all alone
Or is your boyfriend there?
