Complete Tab of American Idiot (2004) by Green Day
Tabbed By Steve Gray ([email protected])
Completed on 9/19/2004

Boulevard of Broken Dreams no longer sucks. Outro included.

***

This is a tab for the entire American Idiot Album, front to back,
lyrics included. If you want to post this somewhere, or use parts
of it, just keep my name and e-mail on it and you can do whatever
you want.

I am extremely confident about the accuracy of each tab, and I tried
to make each one as easy to understand as possible. But given the
structure of some of the songs, that was a little difficult. Just
pay close attention to the "Order" section of each tab and you'll be
fine.

For most of the tabs, the strumming pattern/timing is not included.

All tuning is standard (E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB E MajorE) except for Whatsername, which
is in drop D MajorD (D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB E MajorE).

Track 1: American Idiot
------------------------------------------------------------

Note: The xxx000 in the Main Riff/Verse is often overlooked.
Listen to the song carefully; it often replaces the final F#5.

As far as I've seen, though, they don't bother with it while
playing live, so you can just play an F#5F#5 instead.

Lyrics:

Don't wanna be an American idiot
Don't want a nation under the new mania     (Verse 1)
Can you hear the sound of hysteria?
The subliminal mind-fuck America

Welcome to a new kind of tension
All across the alien nation
Everything isn't meant to be OK         (Chorus)
Television dreams of tomorrow
We're not the ones meant to follow
For that's enough to argue

Well, maybe I'm the faggot, America
I'm not a part of a redneck agenda       (Verse 2)
Now everybody do the propaganda
And sing along in the age of paranoia

(Chorus)

Don't wanna be an American idiot
One nation controlled by the media       (Verse 3)
Information age of hysteria
It's going out to idiot America

(Chorus)

Lyrics:

I'm the son of rage and love
The Jesus of Suburbia              (Verse 1)
From the Bible of "none of the above"
On a steady diet of

Soda pop and Ritalin
No one ever died for my sins in hell      (Verse 2)
As far as I can tell
At least the ones I've gotten away with

And there's nothing wrong with me
This is how I'm supposed to be         (Chorus)
In a land of make believe
That don't believe in me

Get my television fix
Sitting on my crucifix             (Verse 3)
The living room in my private womb
While the moms and brads are away

To fall in love and fall in debt
To alcohol and cigarettes            (Verse 4)
And Mary Jane to keep me insane
And doing someone else's cocaine

(Chorus)

Lyrics:

At the center of the earth
In the parking lot               (Verse 1)
Of the 7-11 were I was taught
The motto was just a lie

It says home is were your heart is
But what a shame                (Verse 2)
Cause everyone's heart doesn't beat the same
We're beating out of time

City of the dead
At the end of another lost highway
Sign misleading to nowhere           (Chorus)
City of the damned
Lost children with dirty faces today
No one really seems to care

I read the graffiti
In the bathroom stall              (Verse 3)
Like the holy scriptures of a shopping mall
And so it seemed to confess

It didn't say much
But it only confirmed that           (Verse 4)
The center of the earth is the end of the world
And I could really care less

(Chorus)

I don't care if you don't        (Intro) x4
I don't care if you don't care

I don't care!              (Riff 1)

Everyone is so full of shit
Burn and raised by hipocrits
Hearts recycled but never saved
From the cradle to the grave      (Verse)
We are the kids of war and peace
From Anaheim to the Middle East
We are the stories and disciples
Of the Jesus of Suburbia

Land of make believe
And it don't believe in me       (Chorus)
Land of make believe
And I don't believe

And I don't care!
I don't care!
I don't care!              (Riff 2)
I don't care!

The first time, a distorted electric guitar strums each
chord once. After that, an acoustic strums through them
with the electric palm muting.

Dearly beloved are you listening?
I cant remember a word that you were saying
Are we demented or are we disturbed?
The space that's in between insane and insecure

Oh therapy, can you please fill the void?

Nobody's perfect and I stand accused
For lack of a better word, and that's my best excuse

Lyrics:

To live and not to breathe
Is to die in tragedy          (Verse 1)
To run, to run away
To find what you believe

And I
Leave behind              (Chorus)
This hurricane of fucking lies

I lost my faith to this
This town that don't exist       (Verse 2)
So I run, I run awy
The light of masochist

And I
Leave behind              (Chorus)
This hurricane of fucking lies

And I
Walked this line            (Chorus 2)
A augmentedA million and one fucking times

But not this time

I don't feel any shame
I wont apologize
When there ain't nowhere you can go   (Piano Interlude)
Running away from pain
When you've been victimized
Tales from another broken...

Home!
You're leavin'
You're leavin'
You're leavin'
You're leavin HOME!

Lyrics:

Say! Hey!

Hear the sound of the falling rain
Coming down like an Armageddon flame (Hey!)       (Verse 1)
The shame, the ones who die without a name

Hear the dogs howling out of key
To a hymn called "Faith and Misery" (Hey!)        (Verse 2)
And bleed, the company lost the war today

I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives      (Chorus)
On holiday

There's a drum pounding out of time
Another protestor has crossed the line (Hey!)      (Verse 3)
To find, the money's on the other side

Can I get another Amen? (Amen!)
There's a flag wrapped around the score of men (Hey!)  (Verse 4)
A augmentedA gag, A augmentedA plastic bag on a monument

(Chorus)
(Bridge)

The representative from California has the floor:
"Zieg Heil!" to the president gasman
"Bombs away!" is your punishment
Pulverize the Eiffel Towers
Who criticize your government                (Interlude)
"Bang Bang!" goes the broken glass man
Kill all the fags that don't agree
Triumph by fire setting fire
Is not a way that's meant for me
Just cause... just cause - because we're outlaws yeah!

I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
This is our lives on holiday

Lyrics:


I walk a lonely road
The only one I that have ever known
Don't know were it goes
But its home to me and I walk alone

I walk this empty street
On the boulevard of broken dreams
Where the city sleeps
And I'm the only one and I walk alone
I walk alone I walk alone
I walk alone I walk a-

My shadows the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
Till then I'll walk alone

I'm walking down the line
That divides me somewhere in my mind
On the border line of the edge
And were I walk alone

Read between the lines of what's
Fucked up and every things all right
Check my vital signs to know I'm still alive
And I walk alone
I walk alone I walk alone
I walk alone I walk a-

My shadows the only one that walks beside me
My shallow hearts the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
Till then I'll walk alone

I walk this empty street
On the boulevard of broken dreams
Where the city sleeps
And I'm the only one and I walk a-

My shadows the only one that walks beside me
My shallow hearts the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
Till then I'll walk alone

once while the main guitar goes through the arppeggios.

Starry nights city lights
Coming down over me               (Verse 1)
Skyscrapers and stargazers
In my head
Are we we are, Are we we are
The waiting unknown

This dirty town was burning down in my dreams  (Pre-Chorus)
Lost and found city bound in my dreams

And screaming
Are we we are, Are we we are the waiting    (Chorus)
And screaming
Are we we are, Are we we are the waiting

Forget me nots and second thoughts
Live in isolation
Heads or tails and fairytales          (Verse 2)
In my mind
Are we we are, Are we we are
The waiting unknown

The rage and love, the story of my life     (Pre-Chorus)
The Jesus of suburbia is a lie

And screaming
Are we we are, Are we we are the waiting
And screaming
Are we we are, Are we we are the waiting
                        (Outro)
Are we we are, Are we we are the waiting

Are we we are, Are we we are the waiting

Lyrics:

St. Jimmy's comin' down across the alleyway
Up on the boulevard like a zipgun on parade
Light of a sillohette                  (Intro)
He's insubordinate
Coming at you on account of One Two
One Two Three Four!

My name is Jimmy and you better not wear it out
Suicide commando that your momma talked about      (Verse 1)
King of the forty theives and I'm here to represent
The needle in the vein of the establishment

I'm the patron saint of the denial
With an angel face and a taste for suicidal       (Chorus)

Cigarettes and ramen and a little bag of dope
I am the son of a bitch and Edgar Allen Poe
Raised in the city under a halo of lights        (Verse 2)
The product of war and fear that we've been victimized

I'm the patron saint of the denial
With an angel face and a taste for suicidal       (Chorus)

You talkin' to me?
I'll give you something to cry about.          (Interlude)
ST. JIMMY

My name is St. Jimmy I'm a son of a gun
I am the one that's from the way outside now
A augmentedA teenage assasin executing some fun
In the cult of the life of crime now
                            (Bridge)
I'd really hate to say it but I told you so
So shut your mouth before I shoot you down old boy
Welcome to the club and give me some blood
I'm the resident leader at the lost and found

It's comedy and tragedy
It's St. Jimmy                     (End)
And that's my name
...and don't wear it out!

Track 7: Give Me Novacaine
------------------------------------------------------------


All chords are played as barre chords. There are two
guitars strumming all acoustic parts, and they both
play the chords on different parts of the neck,
so it doesn't really matter if you play the E MajorE open
or at the 7th fret, or the F# minorF#m at the 2nd or 9th.

Intro: A augmentedA F# minorF#m B minorBm E MajorE

A augmentedA            F# minorF#m
Take away the sensation inside
B minorBm             E MajorE
Bitter sweet migraine in my head
A augmentedA                   F# minorF#m
It's like a throbbing toothache of the mind
B minorBm            E MajorE
I cant take this feeling anymore

D MajorD              A augmentedA
Drain the pressure from the swelling
D MajorD          A augmentedA
This sensation's overwhelming
D MajorD                 F# minorF#m
Give me a long kiss goodnight and everything will be alright
B minorBm          E MajorE
Tell me I wont feel a thing
        A augmentedA F# minorF#m B minorBm E MajorE
So give me Novacaine

A augmentedA           F# minorF#m
Out of body and out of mind
B minorBm            E MajorE
Kiss the demons out of my dreams
A augmentedA            F# minorF#m
I get the funny feeling, that's alright
B minorBm             E MajorE
Jimmy says its better than here

I'll tell you why

D MajorD              A augmentedA
Drain the pressure from the swelling
D MajorD         A augmentedA
The sensations overwhelming
D MajorD              F# minorF#m
Give me a kiss goodnight and everything will be alright

Oh Novacaine

Lyrics:

She's a rebel
She's a saint
She's the salt of the earth
And she's dangerous       (Verse 1)
She's a rebel
Vigilante
Missing link on the brink
Of destruction

From Chicago
To Toronto
She's the one that they
Call old Whatsername      (Verse 2)
She's the symbol
Of resistance
And she's holding on my
Heart like a hand grenade

Is she dreaming
What I'm thinking?
Is she the mother of all bombs
Gonna detonate         (Verse 3)
Is she trouble
Like I'm trouble?
Make it a double
Twist of fate
Or a melody that

She sings the revolution
The dawning of our lives
She brings this liberation   (Chorus)
That I just cant define
Well nothing comes to mind

(Bridge)
(Chorus)
(Verse 1) x2

She's a rebel
She's a rebel
She's a rebel
And she's dangerous       (Bridge)
She's a rebel
She's a rebel
She's a rebel

Lyrics:

She's an Extraordinary girl
In an ordinary world          (Verse)
And she cant seem to get away

He lacks the courage in his mind
Like a child left behind        (Verse)
Like a pet left in the rain

She's all alone again
Wiping the tears from her eyes
Some days he feels like dying      (Chorus)
She gets so sick of crying

She sees the mirror of herself
An image she wants to sell       (Verse)
To anyone willing to buy

He steals the image in her kiss
From her heart's apocalypse       (Verse)
From the one called Whatsername

(Chorus)
(Bridge)

She's all alone again
Wiping the tears from her eyes
Some days he feels like dying      (End Chorus)
Some days it's not worth trying
Now that they both are finding
She gets so sick of crying

She's an extraordinary girl
An extraordinary girl
An extraordinary girl          (End)
An extraordinary girl

Lyrics:

No body likes you
Everyone left you
They're all out without you
Having fun

Where have all the bastards gone?
The underbelly stacks up ten high
The dummy failed the crash test
Collecting unemployment checks
Like a flunkie only along for the ride

Where have all the riots gone?
As the city's motto gets pulverized
"What's in love is now in debt"
On your birth certificate
So strike the fucking match to light this fuse

The town bishop is an extortionist
And he don't even know that you exist.
Standin' still when it's do or die
You better run for your fucking life

It's not over 'till you're underground
It's not over before it's too late
This city's burning. "It's not my burden"
It's not over before it's too late

There is nothing left to analyze

Where will all the martyrs go when the virus cures itself?
And where we will all go when it's too late?

Well don't look back

You're not the Jesus of Suburbia
The St. Jimmy is a figment of
Your father's rage and your mother's love
Made me the idiot America

It's not over 'till you're underground
It's not over before it's too late
This city's burning. "It's not my burden"
It's not over before it's too late

She said, "I can't take this place
I'm leaving it behind."
Well she said, "I can't take this town
I'm leaving you tonight."
