GREEN DAY - "Basket Case" Tablature

PROPS GO TO: Matt

Basket Case – Green Day

I've seen a lot of tabs that were only partially correct so I compiled them together. These are the right words to the song (I have the CD). Enjoy

E B
Do you have the time

C#m G#
To listen to me whine

A E B
About nothing and everything all at once

E B
I am one of those

C#m G#
Melodramatic fools

A E B
Neurotic to the bone no doubt about it

(CHORUS)
A B E
Sometimes I give myself the creeps

A B E
Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me

A B
It all keeps adding up

E C#m B
I think I’m cracking up

A B
Am I just paranoid

E B C#m B (2x)
I’m just stoned

E B
I went to a shrink

C#m G#
To analyze my dreams

A E B
She says it’s lack of sex that’s bringing me down

E B
I went to a whore

C#m G#
she says my life’s a bore

A E B
So quit my whining ‘cause it’s bringing her down

A B E
Sometimes I give myself the creeps

A B E
Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me

A B
It all keeps adding up

E C#m B
I think I’m cracking up

A B
Am I just paranoid

E B C#m B (4x)
I’m just stoned

A B
Grasping to control

E B C#m G# A E B (2x)
So I better hold on
