Date: 24 January, 2002 Subject: Good Riddance (Time of your Life) Band: Green Day Transcribed: Jake Bowers (jakethepeguk1@hotmail.com) This song is my favorite song ever and I love Greenday. Most of the other tabs that I have seen for this, though, are completely wrong so I decided to write my own for all those of you who are desperate for one. This is my first ever tab so if it is wrong then don't hit me with ironing boards or anything. Enjoy. Chords needed: G 320033 (use this G, 320003 doesn't work as well) Cadd9 032030 D xx0232 Em 022000 C 032010 The first part of this song is the hardest to do, so, if u cant follow it then do what I and improvise.

Intro- Riff 1 (X2) Riff 1 Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road. Riff 1 Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go. Riff 2 So make the best of this test, and don't ask why. Riff 2 It's not a question, but a lesson learned in time. Riff 3 It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right. Riff 4 I hope you had the time of your life. Instrumental- G, Cadd9, D (X2)

^GSo take the photographs,^Cadd9 and still frames in your m^Dind. ^GHang it on a shelf in ^Cadd9good health and good ^Dtime. ^EmTattoos of ^Dmemories and^C dead skin on ^Gtrial. ^EmFor what it's ^Dworth, it was ^Cworth all the ^Gwhile. ^EmIt's something ^Gunpredictable, ^Embut in the end it's^G right. ^EmI hope you had the ^Dtime of your ^Glife.

Instrumental- G, Cadd9, D (X4) Em, D, C, G

^EmIt's something ^Gunpredictable, ^Embut in the end it's ^Gright ^EmI hope you had the ^Dtime of your ^Glife

Instrumental- G, Cadd9, D (X2) Riff 3 It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right Riff 4 I hope you had the time of your life Outro- Riff 1 (X2) (Finish song with a full G down stroke after riff.) Looking back at it now I've probably gone into a bit too much detail on this. However I still think that this is the most accurate tab I've seen (no offence to everybody else). The first part might be wrong but the chords used are definitely the right ones. Any questions and comments get me at jakethepeguk1@hotmail.com
