Song: When I Come Around
Track: 10
Lyrics by: Billie Joe Armstrong
Music by: Green Day
Transcribed by: Amanda

Note: This is Eb Tuning. You can play the song in either Bar or Power Chords or open, I included all. I wrote it with the lyrics, and the chord names, so you can decide how. Listen to song for strumming patterns. [[I tabbed it in E tuning, even though it is really a semi-tone lower, just play it a half step if you want, instead of tuning down]]

Verse 1:

G D Em C G D Em C
I heard you crying loud all the way across town
G D Em C
You've been searching for that someone and it's me out on the prowl
G D Em C
As you sit around feeling sorry for yourself
G D Em C
Now, don't get lonely now
G D Em C
And dry your whining eyes
G D Em C
I'm just roaming for the moment sleazin' my back yard so don't get
G D Em C
So uptight, you been thinking about ditching me


Chorus:

A C
No time to search the world around
A C
Cause you know where I'll be found
[No chords]
When I come around

G D Em C G D Em C


Verse 2:

G D Em C
I heard it all before
G D Em C
So don't knock down my door
G D Em C
I'm a loser and a user so I don't need no accuser,
G D Em C
To try and slag me down because I know you're right
G D Em C
So go do what you like
G D Em C
Make sure you do it wise
G D Em C
You may find out that your self doubt means nothing was ever there
G D Em C
You can't go forcing something if it's just not right

Chorus
