Date: Thu, 05 Mar 1998 10:31:16 -0600 From: Stephen Dranger Subject: g/green_day/my_generation.crd revision of chord file From: Stephen Dranger [sdranger@athena.valpo.edu] My Generation as covered by Green Day This starts in the key of F# minor, and I've got as much information here as possible. The only thing missing is that darn bass solo in the solo breaks. F# E F# E x2 begin Verse: F# [stop] F# E Well, people try to put us down. [Talkin' bout my generation.] F# [stop] F# E Just because we get around. [Talkin' bout my generation.] F# [stop] F# E The things they do look awful cold. [Talkin' bout my generation.] F# [stop] F# E I hope I die before I get old. [Talkin' bout my generation.] F# E F# E x2 My generation. Verse 2 [same chords]: Why don't you all just fade away? [Talkin' bout my generation.] And don't try to dig what we all say. [Talkin' bout my generation.] I'm not trying to cause a big sensation. [Talkin' bout my generation.] I'm just talkin' bout my generation. [Talkin' bout my generation.] Chorus Bridge: F# E F# E F# [stop] Guitar: E: |-----------------------------| B: |----7-7----7-7---------------| G: |-/6-----/6-----4-4h6p4-------| D: |-----------------------4-7~~-| A: |-----------------------------| E: |-----------------------------| F# E F# E F# [stop] Bass solo... F# E F# E F# [stop] Drum solo F# E F# E F# [stop] *crash* Man, you can fuck that shit! F# E F# E x2 Repeat Verse 2 with key change G#, F#, G# with same lyrics. Chorus with chords G#, F#, G#. Then key change to Bb [chords: Bb, G#] over solo: E: |--------------------------| B: |-4------4------4------4---| G: |-6b8----6b8----6b8----6b8-| then you just use the Bb minor pentatonic scale...Billie goes to fast for me to tab out the entire solo, but there are a could main themes, the above bend being one, and E: |-----6-9b-9b-9b-| B: |-6-9------------| G: |----------------| being another. The solo however, is only in Bb minor pent. at the 6th fret position: 6th 7 8 9 E: |-x-|---|---|-x-| B: |-x-|---|---|-x-| G: |-x-|---|-x-|---| D: |-x-|---|-x-|---| A: |-x-|---|-x-|---| E: |-x-|---|---|-x-| Just go wild; do a lot of pulling, hammering and bending. Then end in a glorious haze of feedback and spasticness...or just kinda fizzle out like on the record.
