Knowledge (Operation Ivy cover)
Green Day
1,039/Smoothed Out Slappy Hours (1990)
Lyrics: Jesse Michaels
Music: Operation Ivy
Tuning: Normal
*if you want to sound just like the album, tune about 1/6 step up
Notes: A punk classic that doesn't sound like a punk song.  The
main riff is repeated throughout the song with different
strumming.  If you just do D5 C5 G5 powerchords, it should sound
fine.  Solo taken from Kev McElvaney's tab.

h = hammer-on
p = pull-off
b = bend
/ = slide up
\ = slide down
5 = power chord

Main riff
   D7     C7   G

Lyrics

I know things are getting tougher
When you can't get the top off
The bottom of the barrel		(Verse 1)
Wide open road of my future now
It's lookin fuckin narrow

All I know's that I don't know	
All I know's that I don't know nothin	(Chorus)
(x2)

Weeeeeeeeee get told to decide
Just like, as if			(Verse 2)
I'm not gonna change my mind

(Chorus)
(Bridge)

Whatcha gonna do with yourself
Boy you better make up your mind	(Verse 3)
Whatcha gonna do with yourself
You're running out of time

(Chorus)
(Chorus)

And that's fine
