GREEN DAY - "Good Riddance Cuths Way" Tablature

Artist – Green Day
Song – Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life)
Album – Nimrod

This song is great and easy to learn. I see tabs that get full ratings but when you play the intro sounds a tiny bit wrong, this is one that sounds correct.
This is also my first tab so enjoy.

The Song is in 4 parts, a finger picking part 1, 2 and 3 and a strumming part.

Finger picking –intro
Part (1) Part (2) Part (3)
E ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
H --------------------------3--------------------3------------------3------------------3--------------------0-----------3----------
G ----0---------0-------------0-----0---------------0------0---------0----0-----2--------2---2------------0---0-------0-----0-
D-------0----------0-------------0----------------------0---------------0--------------------0-- x4-----------0-------------0---x3
A-----------------------------------------------------------------3--------------------------------------2---------------------------
E -3--------3----------3-------------------3--------------------------------------------------------------------------3-------------

Then after that do part (2) X 3 again

Strumming chords
These aren’t real chords apart from Em but are easier to play if you are a beginner. You can use the real chords if you know them.
