Strangeland
Sweet Children (Green Day)
Sweet Children (1987)/Kerplunk! (1992)
Lyrics: Billie Joe Armstrong
Music: Green Day
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: The slides at the end of the verse & chorus could also be
hammer-ons, but it's hard to find the exact note before the A, so
just do what sounds good to you.  The bridge is based on D, Dsus2
and Dsus4 chords, so if you play the D, G, and B strings of an
open D chord, and use the top string for the melody, it'll sound
just like the record.

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

Lyrics

Looking at the clouds in the sky
Floating image in my mind		(Verse 1)
?
Now I wonder where this place is from

Evidence is everywhere
I start to run, now I'm scared?		(Verse 2)
Strange beings all around
Everyone come to this place I've found

I'm feeling phyced, walking?
Wonder why				(Chorus)
All my joys are open
No more crimes

My eyes are clear and now I'm cured
I only wanna be for sure		(Verse 3)
?
?

Get in my mind and you will find
Mother love from all mankind		(Verse 4)
?
?
