Paper Lanterns
Green Day
1,039/Smoothed Out Slappy Hours (1990)
Lyrics: Billie Joe Armstrong
Music: Green Day
Tuning: Normal or Drop D
*if you want to sound just like the album, tune about 1/6 step up
Notes: Another classic Green Day tune.  Play around with the solo
a bit, there's some muting and weird timing.  This one sounds
good in drop D, replace the D5*'s with a low open D, I'm pretty
sure that's how it is on the record. Thanks to
lamington_man@hotmail.com for the solo.

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

Lyrics

Now I rest my head
Form such and endless dreary time
A time of hopes and happiness
That had you on my mind			   (Verse 1)
Those days are gone and now it seems
As if I'll get some rest
But now and then I'll see you again
And it puts my heart to test

So when are all my troubles gonna end?
I'm understanding now			   (Chorus)
That we are only friends
To this day I'm asking why
I still think about you

As the days go on, I wonder
Will this ever end?
I find it hard to keep control
When you're with your boyfriend
I do not mind if all I am		   (Verse 2)
Is just a friend to you
All I want to know right now
Is if you think about me too

(Chorus)
(Bridge)
(Chorus)
