American Idiot (2004
Whatsername
Tabbed By Donkey Fly
I have been working on this tab since late november when i first heard the song.....it
should be perfect , i figured out that the speed is exactly 120 beats...enjoy it....the
number a chord indicates the fret number you play it on.....experienced guitarist should
know how to play these chords , yes they are power chords...
this is my first tab
All guitars in drop D tuning
Speed: 120
Time:
[4/4]
Words By Billie Joe......Music By Green Day
