Artist: Green Day Song: Boulevard Of Broken Dreams Album: American Idiot Reprise Records Email: rexxdoggy@yahoo.com Last Update: 02/04/05 Words by Billie Joe Armstrong Music by Green Day Transcribed by Jeff Perrin Guitar I (EADGBe) Guitar II (EADGBe) Guitar III (Acous., capo on first fret, EADGBe) Guitar IV (EADGBe) Guitar V (EADGBe) Trust me, there are 5 guitars. We all know theres already at least 3, but i assure you, Green Day recorded this song with 5 DIFFERENT guitars. Moderately Slow - 82 Key PM Palm Mute / Slide Up Slide Down * Side Note () Ghost Note x Muted Note ? Placed after riff names I don’t know. NOTE TO ONE’S SELF: NOT IN ORDER. INCLUDES THE TIMES THAT THE RIFFS ARE PLAYED. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SELF CONFUSION OF THE USER. YES, THESE ARE IN RIFFS, AS STATED IN THE BEGGINNING. AND ALSO, REMEMBER TO READ THOROUGHLY. GUITAR 3 HAS A CAPO ON 1ST FRET. GUITAR 3’S RIFFS ARE BASED ON THAT CAPO. SIDE NOTE: AND ALSO, THIS IS 100% CORRECT. AND YOU KNOW WHY? CAUSE I GO IT STRAIGHT OUT OF THE GUITAR WORLD MAGAZINE FOR THE OFFICIAL TABLATURE.
