My Generation (The Who cover) Sweet Children (Green Day) Sweet Children (1987)/Kerplunk! (1992) Lyrics: The Who Music: The Who Tuning: 1/2 step down (sounds a semitone lower than written here) (if you want to sound like the cd, tune about 1/6 of a step lower) Notes: There's 3 riffs in this song, they're the same except the second one is up 2 frets, and the third is 2 frets up from that, so I'm not going to bother tabbing the order, it's incredibly simple to figure out. h = hammer-on p = pull-off b = bend / = slide up \ = slide down 5 = power chord Riff 1 Riff 2 Riff 3 G5 F5 A5 G5 B5 A5 e|--------------------------------------------------------------| B|--------------------------------------------------------------| G|--------------------------------------------------------------| D|-5----3---------------7----5--------------9----7--------------| A|-5----3---------------7----5--------------9----7--------------| E|-3----1---------------5----3--------------7----5--------------| Solo 1 (Bridge) (not tabbed yet) Use B pentatonic scale for both solos e|-----------------------7-10-----------------------------------| B|------------------7-10----------------------------------------| G|--------------7-9---------------------------------------------| D|----------7-9-------------------------------------------------| A|------7-9-----------------------------------------------------| E|-7-10---------------------------------------------------------| Solo 2 (Outro) (not tabbed yet) e|--------------------------------------------------------------| B|--------------------------------------------------------------| G|--------------------------------------------------------------| D|--------------------------------------------------------------| A|--------------------------------------------------------------| E|--------------------------------------------------------------| Order Riff 1 until lyrics start after bridge Riff 2 until solo starts on outro Riff 3 under solo until end Lyrics Well people try to put us down *Talkin 'bout my generation* Just because we get around *Talkin 'bout my generation* The things they do look awful cold (Verse 1) *Talkin 'bout my generation* I hope I die before I get *Talkin 'bout my generation* My generation Why don't you all just fade away *Talkin 'bout my generation* And don't try to dig what we all say (Verse 2) *Talkin 'bout my generation* I'm not tryin to cause a big sensation *Talkin 'bout my generation* Just talkin 'bout my generation *Talkin 'bout my generation* My generation Break it, fuck that shit!
