Artist: Green Day
Song: 21st Century Breakdown
Album: 21st Century Breakdown
Tuning: Half Step
notes: Yes this isn't the best formatting for this, but bear with me. I'm going to
change the was this is set up. Also, this is tuned a HALF STEP down, but the
chords you're going to play the chords as if it was standard tuning which is very
important on the last part of the song. Later on I will make these chords much better.
Thanks.
