21st Century Breakdown tab by Green Day

Guitar Tab

Hi! This is the tab for the demo of 21st century breakdown.
It's my first tab, but I think that it's ok.
I'm not sure about the picking, but I'm not an expert in the
issue, so, if you have any corrections or suggestions, please,
send them to nevermind___@hotmail.com

INTRO (this part is played by a piano, but I tabbed it anyway)
E|-------4---4--4--6--4--------|
B|-----6---6------------7--6---|
G|---6-------------------------|
D|-----------------------------|
A|-----------------------------|
E|-----------------------------|

If you don't wanna play the pianotabattemp, you can play the chords
that are played in the piano, wich are C# G# F#.
Listen to the song to find how many times you have to play this.
