I didn't bother gettin the chorus, it's pretty easy though; just a variation
of the guitar.

You won't BELIEVE how long it took me to figure out that damn baseline on
this regular guitar :) but it's here now... all of it except for those high
parts he plays at the end i've only partially figured those out.

"Longview" by Greenday
TAB by Chris Peressotti

First thing before i give the TAB, you must know the way the power chords
are played in this song. The chords that you should play in this way i'll
just make a "+" sign after them.

A+ G+ D+

G ------------- G ------------- G --7--5--7--5-
D --7--5--7--5- D --5--3--5--3- D --7--5--7--5-
A --7--5--7--5- A --5--3--5--3- A --5--5--5--5-
E --5--5--5--5- E --3--3--3--3- E -------------

Other chords in this song.

D C

G -7- G -5-
D -7- D -5-
A -5- A -3-
E --- E ---

This is the first bassline, it's usually played while Billy Joe sings.

D --------------------------------------------------- L
G ----7-----------------------7----------10-9-7------ O
A ------10-9------10-9---7------10-9*-----------10-9- O
E -10--------10-8------8---10---------10------------- P

When moving into the chorus, right after playing the note which i've put a
star after (9th fret on the A string) play the C chord for 4 beats, then
move into the chorus:

A+ A+ G+ D+ A+ A+ G+ D+ A+ A+ G+ D+ A+ A+
Followed by strumming a regular G chord once.

Then play the second bassline, usually played twice before going into the
first bassline.

D ----7--------7--------------- L
G ---------7-9---9-10-9-7------ O
A ------------------------10-9- O
E -10---10--------------------- P

At the chorus when they start to sing "Where is the motivation..." after
playing the chorus chords play

D C D C D C D C (Re-play chorus chords, they will start around when Billy
Joe sings the word "inspiration")

As for the end where while the bassline is being played there are some high
notes being played, all i can figure out is what note it matches on the
HIGH e string:

e -2-3-3-0---2-3-5-10- (LOOP)

This bass tab was already here but it was wrong.
I decided to put the right one in.
