GREEN DAY - "longview" Tablature

Official GREEN DAY Tablature & Sheet Music »

Artist: Green Day
Song: Longview (Correction)
Album: Dookie
Tabbed by: Martin Cox (mcox@indy.net), based mostly off
the tab by Blaise B. (j_w_b_b@yahoo.com)

The tab posted by Blaise was mostly correct, but the main
verse was tabbed on the wrong strings and was therefore
way too low. Here's the correct way to play it, as played
on the album and by Mike Dirnt in the concert video I have.

Intro:

Gradually slide down(to about 7th fret) while picking up
and down fast.

Gb-------------------------------------------------------
Db-------------------------------------------------------
Ab-19/---------------------------------------------------
Eb-------------------------------------------------------


Main Verse Riff:
Gb---------------------------------9-7-6-7---------------
Db-----9-7-6-----7-6-------9-7-6---0-0-0-0---------------
Ab-5-7-------7-5-----5-9-7--------------------------------
Eb-------------------------------------------------------

Reapeat until the chorus which is:

Chorus:
Gb-------------------------------------------------------
Db-------------------------------------------------------
Ab-------------------------7-x-7-x-----------------------
Eb-7-x-7-x-7-x-7-x-5-x-5-x-------------------------------

Do this 3 times. On the fourth time do this:

Chorus Ending:
Gb-------------------------------------------------------
Db-------------------------------------------------------
Ab---------------------------------6/--------------------
Eb-7-x-7-x-7-x-7-x-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-----------------------

This leads into the next verse which is:

2nd Verse Riff:
Gb----9-----------7-6-4-2------------------------------
Db------7h8h9-7---0-0-0-0------------------------------
Ab--7----------------------------------------------------
Eb-------------------------------------------------------

Do this twice then go back to the main verse riff.

Bridge
Gb-------------------------------------------------------
Db---9-7-6-----------------------------------------------
Ab-7-------5-4-2-0---------------------------------------
Eb-------------------------------------------------------
"I've got no motivation, where is my motivation..."

Here's the order everything is played in:
Main riff 6x
Chorus
2nd Verse 2x
Main riff 4x
Chorus
Bridge 4x
Chorus
2nd Verse 6x
Main riff 2x
Chorus 2x
2nd Verse Repeat and fade out
