Green Day
Kerplunk! (1992)
Lyrics: Billie Joe Armstrong
Music: Green Day
Tuning: 1/2 step down (sounds a semitone lower than written here)
Notes: If you find the verse riff is reminiscent of a GD song
you've heard before, it's because it's the Basket Case verse
played 2 frets down.

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

Lyrics

When I was younger
I thought that the world
Circled around me
But in time, I realize I was wrong	(Verse 1)
My immortal thoughts
Turned into dreams
Of a dead future
It was a tragic case of my reality

Do you think you're indestructible
And no one can touch you
Well I think you're disposable		(Chorus)
And it's time you knew the truth
Cuz it's just one of my lies

Why does my life have to be so small
And death is forever
And does forever have a life
To call it's own
Don't give me an answer			(Verse 2)
Cuz you only know as much as I know
Unless you've been there once
Well I hardly think so

(Chorus)

I used to pray at night
Before I lay myself down		(Bridge)
My mother said it was right
Her mother said it too
Why?
