Time of your Life - Green Day


Okay, I saw the other file, made a few changes so it'd be perfect. The way the
other guy had it was a little off, but sounded fine if you played it on your own.
But played along with the video it was wrong. So, here's the fix. I just fixed all
his little oopses. But, thanks go out to David Hill, the author of the original tab.
I couldn't have figured this out without his tab first. E-mail me if you have any
questions, comments, or wads of money for me.

Chords:

Gmodal :320033

C9 :032033

Dsus4 :000233

Em7 :022033


Tab 1 & Intro

Verse: (play each line twice, then go to chorus)

G C9 Dsus4
|-------3--------------3--------------3------------3------| then it repeats, so it almost
|----------3-------------3--------------3------------3----| sounds like it goes C9, Dsus4,
|-------------0------------0--------------0-----2------2--| Gmodal. So, after the end of the
|---0--------------0--------------2-----------0-----------| Dsus4 bit, go straight to the G
|------------------------------3--------------------------| bass note.
|-3--------------3----------------------------------------|


Em Dsus4 C9 G
|------3------------3-------------3------------3----------| The above line gets played
|--------3------------3-------------3------------3--------| twice, then this twice, and that's
|----------0-----2------2-------------0------------0------| the verse. Then the line after
|---2----------0---------------2------------0-------------| that is the chorus. Not that
|----------------------------3----------------------------| complex, but this IS Green Day,
|-0---------------------------------------3---------------| after all.

Em G Em G
|------3------------3------------3-----------3------------|
|--------3------------3------------3-----------3----------|
|----------0------------0------------0-----------0--------|
|---2------------0------------2-----------0---------------|
|---------------------------------------------------------|
|-0------------3------------0-----------3-----------------|

Em Dsus4
|------3---------3------| Okay, now, it's important that you go straight back into the
|--------3---------3----| opening G of the verse, because the Dsus4 sort of leaves you
|----------0---------2--| hanging there. Then play the first half of the verse once
|---2----------0--------| through, then start it all over again.

Lyrics

Verse 1:

G C9 Dsus4 G
Another turning point a fork stuck in the road
G C9 Dsus4 G
Time grabs you by the wrist directs you where to go
Em Dsus4 C9 G
So make the best of these days and don't ask why
Em Dsus4 C9 G
It's not a question but a lesson learned in time

Chorus
Em G Em G
It's something unpredictable in the end it's right
Em Dsus4 G (where verse riff cuts back in)
I hope you have the time of your life. (Start struming G C Dsus4)

Verse 2:
G C9 Dsus4 G
So take the photographs and stillframes in your mind
G C9 Dsus4 G
Hang it on a shelf; it could've been good times (couldn't get this line, fix it if you know it)

Em Dsus4 C9 G
Tatoos and memories and asking on trial
Em Dsus4 C9 G
For what it's worth it was worth all the while


Chorus

Instrumental(Strum over Violins)

Chorus


End with Tab 1 and then |---------|
|---------|
|--2------|
|----0----|
|------0--| and end on a G
|---------|
