Tabs

As much as i hate to admit it, i love this cover.
Its good to play because people recognise it too.
Couldn't find a tab, so after hours of studying the video - Here you all go.

Standard tuning,
Guitars 1,2 and Three.

Guitar 1 -  Palm Muted - This is the backing throughout the majority of the song.
Its in bars of 8 - Play with or without the Chord diagramG+G string - whichever you think sounds better.

Guitar 2 - Comes in after 16 bars. Kinda palm muted/Harmonics

e|-------------------------------------------|
This covers (Every note relates to a word to keep your timing) :
I threw a wish in the well, Don't ask me, I'll never tell I looked to you as it
fell, and now you're in my way I trade my soul for a wish, pennies and dimes for a
kiss I wasn't looking for this, but now you're in my way

When the bridge comes, Guitar 2 changes to the same riff but lower down:
Chord diagramE MajorE|----2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-----4-4-4-4-4-4-----2-2-2-2-2-2-----4-4-4-4-4-4------|
Chord diagramA augmentedA|--------------------4-4-------------1-1-------------4-4------------------|
Chord diagramD MajorD|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Chord diagramG+G|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Chord diagramBB|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
e|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Still with guitar 1 in the background - This covers:
Your stare was holdin', Ripped jeans, skin was showin' Hot night, wind was blowin'
Where you think you're going, baby?

Chorus:

Guitar 1 carrys on the backing rythem after the pause...

Guitar 2(Its just power chords- You know, the ones you use to play EVERY Green day song):

Chord diagramE MajorE|--2-----4-4----2-2----4-4---------------|
Chord diagramA augmentedA|--4---4-6-6-1--4-4--4-6-6---------------|
Chord diagramD MajorD|--4---6-6-6-3--4-4--6-6-6---------------|
Chord diagramG+G|------6-----3-------6-------------------|
Chord diagramBB|----------------------------------------|
e|----------------------------------------|

(The Rythem backing for this is actually done by Guitar 3 while guitar 1 does some
strange fingertapping which cant be heard - So its not needed.Lets keep it simple
people - Guitar two also changed from using the powerchord at 1 To 6  But they
sound the same.)
3    8
3    8

My favourite bit... The chorus...Outro?

Guitar 1 rythm again.

Guitar 2 straight out of the last chord:

Repeat again and during the third time, Guitar one does something different for once...:

Guitar 1:

Chord diagramD MajorD|---3-----6------12----12----------|

This bits a bit messy and you can hear him play a few wrong notes, so improvise on
the above. I know the last three bits are right, you work out the rythem.

Repeat the chorus...

Then you get to this bit..
Before you came into my life I missed you so bad I missed you so bad I missed you
so, so bad Before you came into my life I missed you so bad And you should know
that I missed you so, so bad

Which is as follows:
Guitar 2 Plays the chorus power chords,
Guitar 1:

Guitar three harmonics (Slightly like the into to sweet child of mine ):

Chord diagramD MajorD|---12---------12------------12----------12-------|

Chord diagramBB|--------15------------------------15-------------|

Emjoy!
